Avillion Port Dickson

Coastal comfort

Executive summary by darmansjah

Set on a picturesque stretch of sand, the avillion Port Dickson offers the allure and tranquility of a secluded beach resort, yet is just an hour’s drive from KL or Melaca, and 40 minutes from KL International Airport. Inspired by the architecture of a traditional Malay fishing village, the resort fuses local culture with contemporary luxuries, giving guests the opportunity to experience Malaysia’s rich heritage while living in comfort.

Each of the resort’s beautifully crafted rooms and chalets celebrates local culture with Malaysian art and artifacts, pairing traditional motifs with luxurious modern amenities. For a signature Avillion experience, book a stay in a water chalet, set on one of seven finger piers that stretch out from the sandy beach into the blue sea. Newly refurbished, these charming chalets come with private open-air rain showers, romantic four-poster beds, and pangkin daybeds, ideal for daytime lunging with the open skies above and the waves lapping below.

The award-winning accommodations are complemented by a host of superb restaurants and bars, including the Crow’s Nest, a semi-formal restaurant serving up Asian and Western delicacies along with a bird’s-eye view of the local terrain; and The Galley, an attractive sunken lunge offering live musical entertainment. For family fun, try the Jungle Fringe karaoke& Bar or the 24-hour village Court, which offers light snacks and meals in an airy poolside dining room.

Traditional cabanas, called wakafs, make a perfect perch for watching the sunset, and a 24-hour pool, sauna, and spa are available to all guests,along with tennis courts and a gymnasium. For a back-to-nature experience, both children and adults can enjoy a tour of the resort’s pet farm, spice farm, and orchid hut, the Kid’s Cabin also provides free children’s activities as they are educational.

While your children play, be sure to stop by the Avi Spa, which has won multiple awards for its wide range of Peranakan-inspired treatments, and for its gorgeous location in a glass-and-timber pavilion perched on piers above the water.
