Penang Holidays
Penang is an island off the northwester coast of peninsular Malaysia. It encapsulates the remarkable mixture of old and new that makes Malaysia unique by being one of the most developed states in the country – known as the ‘Silicon Valley’ of Malaysia – while retaining beautiful ancient buildings and the town of Georgetown, which has recently been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.
Beach resorts in Malaysia are encapsulated by Bayview Beach Resort Penang. As hinted at by the name, this unique sample of Malaysia beach resorts is situated right on the waterfront in the north-west of Penang. Bayview Beach Resort Penang overlooks the tranquil turquoise waves that roll into ‘Foreigner’s Rock’, a beautifully scenic cove.
With 360 comfortable rooms and suites offering private balconies facing either the waves or the hills, Bayview Beach Resort Penang captures the imagination and offers wonderfully comfortable accommodations. Bayview Beach Resort Penang also has several restaurants offering fare famous to Malaysia beach resorts: cuisine from across the globe has influenced Malaysian dishes, creating a fusion of gourmet tastes and smells.
Georgetown is the capital of the island of Penang. Thus, it is the hub of Penang’s financial and political doings. However, the heart of the town dates back hundreds of years: quaint, narrow lanes and alleyways which wind throughout the compact city and which have recently been made into a UNESCO world heritage site. Georgetown is filled with hawkers and bazars offering everything from counterfeit DVDs to delicious local dishes.
