Penang | Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort, a tranquil beach getaway.

If you're looking to enjoy a beach vacation in Penang, the northern coastal area is a great choice. Located in Batu Ferringhi, just a 30-minute drive from George Town, you'll find two neighboring iconic resorts. Today, we're staying at the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort. With stunning sea views and a small sandy beach (Penang's coastline is more rocky than sandy), the resort's expansive garden and outdoor pool are perfect for sunbathing and water activities. Although it's a bit far from the bustling old town, there's a nearby night market, making shopping quite convenient. The resort's rooms are spacious, with the Garden Wing Deluxe Room offering 42 square meters of space, a lovely balcony overlooking the garden, and a comfortable sofa chair. While the decor is slightly dated, the room remains cozy. A double room with breakfast costs around 5,700 TWD. If you're simply looking for a serene beach retreat, Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort is the ideal choice. For family-friendly water activities, the neighboring Shangri-La Golden Sands Resort might be a better option.
