Bayview Beach Resort  

On Penang’s famed Batu Ferringhi beach, this four-star beachfront resort sits about 12 km from George Town’s historic center. Family-friendly and framed by palms, it puts white sand and the Straits of Malacca right outside your door.

A tropical garden separates the hotel from the long stretch of sand. Rooms have air conditioning, balconies or terraces, coffee/tea makers, TVs and fridges; seaview and family suites add sitting areas and in-room safes. Expect relaxed resort decor, outdoor Jacuzzis and a spa for downtime.

Multiple swimming pools (two designed for children), outdoor Jacuzzis, full spa with massage huts, sauna and a well-equipped gym. Watersports centre offers parasailing and jet-skiing, and courts for tennis, volleyball and basketball sit among the trees. There’s a kids’ club, professional babysitting services, on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the beach.

Business centre with fax, scanner and copier, plus meeting and conference rooms. Wireless internet is available throughout the property and in rooms.

An on-site restaurant and an elegant hotel bar serve casual meals and drinks after beach days. The bar is a relaxed spot to unwind with a refreshing drink.
