For Children

What’s nearby? This resort is on Batu Ferringhi Beach, on Penang’s north coast. It’s in the suburb of George Town, and the heart of the capital is about 25 minutes away. Closer to home, Batu Ferringhi Night Market is right opposite the hotel and a nice place to shop for little souvenirs. The Tropical Spice Garden – a huge garden with more than 500 plant species – is 10 minutes away.

Tried and tested We particularly love Sigi’s Italian Bar & Grill. It’s right on the beach, and serves everything from classic pasta dishes to freshly-baked pizzas, with plenty of outdoor seating and live entertainment in the evening. To get out and explore, we’d recommend the Jungle Walk*. It’s a two to three-hour morning walk, so it’s a good one for nature loving older children.

The sleeping arrangements Families of three can share a Superior Room here, with a child up to 12 in a rollaway bed. Or, choose a Deluxe Room and you’ll have a pull-down bed that can be folded away in the day. These come with a balcony overlooking the gardens and pools. Executive Seaview Rooms are higher up with great views. For larger families and groups, there are some interconnecting rooms available.
