The Ultimate Malaysian Grand Prix Add-On Trip
Visit Penang for a 4 night stay at the Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa in Penang.
Facing the horizon of the great Andaman Sea, Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa is located along the northern shoreline of Penang, the island in peninsular Malaysia famed for its enchanting sights and friendly people. The Resort embraces the best of contemporary Malaysian architecture. Its two wings are seamlessly integrated within a beautifully landscaped 30-acre tropical garden that gracefully descends onto the sands of Batu Feringgi beach (literally ‘Foreigner’s Rock’ in old Malay).
With a unique name, Rasa Sayang, which means a “feeling of love” in Malay (by the way, it is also the name of a popular local folk song), it is little wonder why its tagline reads “a love for life and all its pleasures”. The resort has played host to some of the world’s most recognisable names; from royalty and prime ministers to celebrities and the rich and famous. Through the years, guests have included Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous host Robin Leach, romance novelist Barbara Cartland, Hollywood celebrity Stephanie Powers former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk and former Presidents of China His Excellencies Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Hu Jin Tao.
As much a part of Penang as the native betel nut palms, Rasa Sayang bears witness to the state’s transformation from a free port to an industrialised state, and her eventual transition as island getaway to a rich heritage city. Perhaps, Leach’s famous “champagne wishes and caviar dreams” toast can best sum up the resort’s promise of indulgences to its guests.
