This curated route allows travellers to experience culture, lively urban energy, and tranquil nature all in one trip.

Penang, Malaysia:
Travellers can discover the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage–listed destination with accommodation options to suit every lifestyle.

Amari SPICE Penang is a modern luxury hotel located beside the SPICE Convention Centre and SPICE Arena, just 5 km from Penang International Airport. With spacious rooms, a contemporary pool and fitness centre, and five distinctive restaurants and bars, the hotel offers complete relaxation in a serene, private setting — ideal for those seeking a refined and stylish retreat.

OZO Georgetown Penang, a fun-focused hotel, sits in the heart of Georgetown's UNESCO-listed old town. Guests can easily wander the charming streets, capture memorable photos, and enjoy both stylish cafés and iconic street food such as Char Koay Teow and Asam Laksa. It's the perfect choice for travellers drawn to art, culture, and vibrant city life.

The journey continues to Johor Bahru, a lively destination offering a full lifestyle experience. Situated close to Singapore, this dynamic city blends modernity with convenience and is home to four ONYX properties catering to every type of traveller.

The newly opened OZO Medini is a stylish and contemporary hotel created for active, next-generation travellers. It reflects the joyful spirit of the city and perfectly embodies its concept: Unpack. Good. Vibes.

Amari Johor Bahru, a 5-star property in the heart of the business district, is just steps away from shopping venues, dining, and popular attractions. Key landmarks, including the Johor Bahru Heritage Trail, are within easy reach, while both Senai International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport are conveniently accessible.

For those preferring a home-from-home experience, Shama Medini offers serviced apartments with spacious layouts and fully equipped living spaces — an ideal choice for families seeking comfort and flexibility.
