Why choose this journey

For a beachfront resort particularly designed for families, with pools, slides, kids' club and an immense indoor play area directly adjacent to the beach. Its location also makes it easy to venture out in the evening to Batu Ferringhi. This is an address to favour for family holidays and leisurely poolside days rather than for a romantic getaway or a grand luxury experience.

Set directly along Batu Ferringhi Beach, Shangri-La Golden Sands, Penang unfolds amid expansive tropical gardens facing the Strait of Malacca. The atmosphere is that of a large, relaxed beach resort, particularly suited to families, while allowing easy access to the night market, restaurants and the resort area’s entertainment. George Town is approximately twenty minutes away by car.

The property offers 387 rooms and suites, with décor inspired by Malaysia and several categories featuring balconies and views of the sea or gardens. Connecting configurations and family rooms easily accommodate parents and children, while Executive Seaview Rooms and suites favour panoramas of the coastline and sunsets.

Dining centres primarily on Garden Café, which combines Asian, Malaysian and international specialities in a setting open to the gardens, and Sigi’s Bar & Grill on the Beach, positioned directly facing the sea for grilled fare, casual dining and sunset cocktails. Room service is also available 24 hours a day.

The resort is particularly renowned for its family offering: two large lagoon pools, Splash Zone with water features and slides, Adventure Zone indoor facility and Cool Zone Kids’ Club. Tennis, pitch-and-putt mini-golf, fitness facilities and play areas complete the activities. For more elaborate spa treatments, guests may turn to Chi, The Spa at the neighbouring Shangri-La Rasa Sayang.
