Southeast Asia's Premier Mountain Entertainment Resort
Genting Highlands stands as Malaysia's most ambitious leisure development - a cloud-covered mountain resort city perched at 1,800 meters above sea level, offering a unique escape from tropical heat just one hour from Kuala Lumpur. This integrated entertainment destination combines cool mountain climate, 24-hour casino gaming, world-class theme parks, diverse dining, and comprehensive accommodation in one spectacular hilltop setting.
Founded in 1965 by the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Genting Highlands has evolved from a single hotel and small casino into Southeast Asia's largest resort complex. Today, Resorts World Genting encompasses 50+ hotels with 10,000+ rooms, Malaysia's only legal casino, indoor and outdoor theme parks, shopping centers, entertainment venues, and over 100 restaurants - all connected via covered walkways and shuttle services.
The resort's unique selling proposition lies in its cool mountain climate averaging 15-25°C year-round - a refreshing 10°C cooler than sweltering Kuala Lumpur. Families appreciate the all-in-one convenience where accommodation, dining, shopping, and entertainment exist within walking distance, eliminating transportation hassles. Theme park enthusiasts enjoy Genting SkyWorlds outdoor park and Skytropolis indoor park without weather concerns. Gaming aficionados access Malaysia's premier casino with VIP salons and exclusive gaming floors.
Your clients reaching Genting experience Malaysia's longest cable car journey - the 3.38 km Awana SkyWay ascending from mid-hill Awana Station to SkyAvenue Mall at the summit. This 10-minute scenic ride through cloud forests sets the tone for a magical mountain escape unique in Southeast Asia.
