The arrival of AVANI Sepang in the district was a game-changer for many urbanites living in the city who were often deprived of the beach. These days, those working from compact cubicles in the city can easily realize their dreams of white sands and seemingly endless waters.
An aerial view of the resort resembles a portrait one might encounter on an exclusive Pacific Island – quaint overwater villas that branch out into the infinite waters to form the outline of a palm tree. A spectacular sight indeed.
The resort is set along Sepang’s 22 kilometer shoreline and boasts 315 Polynesian-inspired guest rooms, with the option of one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas. All villas are set on stilts and open up to a breath-taking sea view.
The Superior Rooms offer the perk of a private outdoor terrace, because who wouldn’t want to a fresh sea breeze first thing in the morning? After breakfast, treat yourself to an afternoon siesta or curl up with a book on the daybed. Otherwise, simply enjoy the view of the bobbing waters through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The villas, meanwhile, are located farther out to sea for the unique feeling of sleeping directly on the water. The private balconies mean you get panoramic sea views, enough to fill out your Instagram feed to no end. The rooms also feature marble bathrooms that call for long soaks in the tub.
It’s easy to forget the frivolities of modern life when at AVANI Sepang, but all rooms are equipped with high-speed internet access just in case you still want access to the outside world.
Guests are greeted with welcome drinks before they are whisked away on a buggy to their respective villas.
If guests need a break from bathing in the sea, they can head to the outdoor infinity pool, which offers dual views of the sea and the cluster of rustic villas that dot the resort.
It’s not a trip to AVANI Sepang without a treatment at the luxury spa, a rejuvenating space that opens to views of the horizon. After you’ve had your shoulder kinks ironed out, head to the large spa pavilion to relax with a drink and the gentle sea breeze against your skin.
It makes sense that a setting as pristine as AVANI Sepang’s calls for romantic candlelight dinners. Perahu, literally translating to rowboat, is a thatched-roof fine-dining restaurant where premium seafood is lovingly marinated and wrapped in banana leaf before it is grilled over flame. A bonus is the sunset views and local live bands to serenade guests as they dine.
For a more refined meal, Hai Sang Lou is a fine Chinese restaurant set above the waters. We particularly adore their Sichuan and Cantonese dishes, namely the dim sum baskets and the steamboat, a large hotpot of simmering flavoured broth placed in the center of the table. The dish is a popular one in Malaysia, and encourages the spirit of communal dining.
Families with kids can look forward to the AVANI Kids’ Cub which offers exciting activities for the whole family, including a trampoline and bouncy castle, arts and crafts sessions, ping pong and many more.
For the adults, a more high-adrenaline Extreme Park is available for go-karting, ATV, archery and paintballing. If you’re after something a little more zen, participate in yoga sessions, where both beginners and advanced guests will be brought through the rhythm of vinyasa yoga. Spin classes, Zumba, bicycle tours, and beach activities also make sure you never run out of things to do.
If you’re looking to get out of the resort’s vicinity, nearby is one of the country’s largest attractions – the Sepang International Circuit. The circuit is home to the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix, which has invited to Malaysia some of the world’s most prominent Formula 1 drivers. Or hop onto the resort’s complimentary scheduled shuttle service which takes you to Sunway Pyramid and Mitsui Outlet Park. The Grand Prix is a hot-ticket annual event, and is usually followed up with lavish after-party music sets by acclaimed DJs and musicians.
In a nutshell, AVANI Sepang is a tropical beachfront haven in a district as unassuming as it is charming.
