Ancient Rainforest Trails and Engaging Activities

Among the best things to do at Resorts World Awana, stepping directly into the 130-million-year-old rainforest surrounding the property stands out as a remarkable choice. Through Genting Nature Adventures, guests delve into one of the planet's oldest and uniquely diverse tropical rainforest experiences, nestled between 3,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level. This immersive journey offers a rich insight into the vibrant biodiversity of the Genting Highlands. The 60 to 120-minute guided walk along the pristine Clearwater Way trail allows guests to discover a protected sanctuary together, marvelling at the flora and engaging in exotic bird watching.



Beyond the trails, the resort overflows with dynamic activities designed for every interest and age. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the Stingless Bee Honey Harvesting experience, enjoying a guided tour of the stunning Sunflower Garden followed by a tasting of freshly harvested honey. For a touch of friendly competition and outdoor fun, classic lawn games of skill and strategy like Croquet and Pétanque await on the lush grounds. The youngest guests are thoughtfully entertained as well — the Nature's Little Planters programme offers guided seed planting for little hands eager to learn about eco-friendly practices, while the Junior Little Baker sessions allow children with big imaginations to create tasty, eye-catching treats.



For guests prioritising fitness and active relaxation, the resort provides excellent facilities. The iconic 18-hole golf course offers a unique challenge and serves as a paradise for avid golfers amidst the highland air. Those looking to maintain a workout routine can visit The Gym, a modern and hip space designed to help guests reach fitness goals at new heights, or unleash some energy with the rhythm-based Music Boxing Machine. Afterward, starting a holiday off right is easy with a soothing dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, ensuring every family member finds a meaningful way to connect with the great outdoors and unwind.


Culinary Journeys in the Cool Climate

After a day of mountain adventures, Resorts World Awana offers a remarkable array of dining experiences tailored to satisfy every palate. Families can relax together at AYU Awana, Malaysia’s first tropical lifestyle restaurant and poolside lounge located in the cool, lush ancient rainforests of Genting Highlands, 3,100 feet above sea level. For diners seeking diverse flavours, Jom Makan Awana serves up halal-certified, authentic continental and Asian cuisine inspired by a vibrant marketplace. Diners can also gather for a comforting meal at Awana Garden, which offers a wonderful hotpot experience perfect for chilly mountain evenings.



If a quick refreshment is preferred, Cheeky Grind blooms beautifully, conceived as an eco-lifestyle destination in the ancient rainforests of Malaysia. Meanwhile, The Lodge serves delightful kopitiam favourites, just the perfect way to complete a round of golf. Alternatively, Village Fresh presents the finest “dai chow” favourites accompanied by sweeping, tranquil views of the golf course, ensuring every meal is as memorable as the mountain scenery.


Effortless Arrivals and Aerial Explorations


Travelling to and around the property is an absolute breeze, ensuring your vacation remains entirely stress-free from the moment of departure. Arriving in a private vehicle is simple, as convenient parking bays are available directly at the resort and across various locations within the wider estate. For those who prefer to let someone else navigate the scenic winding roads, conventional taxis and major e-hailing services are readily accessible right at the doorstep. In-house guests will also enjoy the exclusive benefit of complimentary hourly shuttle buses, seamlessly connecting the resort, Awana SkyCentral, and Genting Highlands Premium Outlets.
