Avillion Port Dickson

Top choice in Malaysia


Beautifully designed and lushly planted with lily ponds, birds of paradise, bromeliads and palms, this highly awarded five-star has over-the-water chalets evoking a traditional Malay fishing village, only with luxurious amenities. Even the cheaper rooms are classier than just about anywhere else in Port Dickson, with hardwood floors, elegant wood furnishings, flagstone bathrooms and loads of natural light.

Several good restaurants, a huge pool, a tennis court and a gym are also at hand, as are plenty of child-friendly perks, such as a shallow pool and kids' cabin.
