Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa has an envious position right on Batu Feringgi Beach on the Malaysian island of Penang. Surrounded by tropical greenery, this luxury hotel is 20 minutes’ drive from George Town, the island’s historic colonial-era capital, and 45 minutes from the airport. The spa centre is enclosed by ancient trees and offers traditional local treatments and healing spa rituals, while all 304 luxurious guestrooms are finished in an elegant, typically Malaysian style, with carved woods and rich fabrics. Along with three pools there is an onsite nine-hole pitch and putt golf course, floodlit tennis and an array of watersports plus a health club, featuring floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach. Dining options showcase the range of Malaysian cuisine.
