The Orient Star Resort Lumut

On Malaysia’s Perak coast in Lumut — a beach resort connected to a shopping center and a short drive from Lumut Jetty. Walking distance to the city center and minutes from Mangrove Swamp Park, Teluk Batik Beach and Damai Laut Golf and Country Club.

150 air-conditioned rooms strike a practical, warm tone with in-room fridges or minibars, coffee/tea makers, desks and satellite TV. Bathrooms have showers and complimentary toiletries, housekeeping runs daily, and public terraces and gardens let you stretch out near the water.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or keep up routines in the fitness center; bikes are available to rent and there’s a picnic area and garden to unwind. Concierge, vending machines and accessible elevators are on site — and you can expect easy seaside breezes from resort grounds.

A business center and six meeting rooms handle events, with complimentary wired high-speed internet and Wi‑Fi for work. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry services, free self-parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Tiara Coffee House serves Halal dishes with pool views, there’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks and limited room service when you want to stay in. Buffet or continental breakfasts are available for a fee, and nearby Restoran Lumut is popular for seafood.
