Kuala Lumpur now has its very own beach resort with the 392-villa Golden Palm Tree overwater property, jutting into the Straits of Malacca, opening in Malaysia about six weeks ago.
At the moment 300 rooms at Golden Palm Tree have opened, with the remainder scheduled to be ready by Dec this year.
The resort features five villa types, varying in size from the 52sqm Travlers Palm Villas to the 232sqm Royale Palm Villas.
It offers guests a range of water and land-sport activities, and features its own Escapade Spa.
Golden Palm Tree is more than a resort, it’s tipped to be one of Kuala Lumpur’s most recognisable landmarks, to rival the cities Twin Towers.
At 75 minutes from downtown Kuala Lumpur, and 35 mins from KL Airport, Lee says the five-star resort will appeal to travellers wanting a beach holiday as it’s much quicker to access than flying onto another Malaysia beach destination, such as Penang.
