Contemporary luxury amidst Genting Highlands’ natural lush greenery and cool clean air

Escape the hustle bustle and hot climate of Kuala Lumpur to your very own haven where the air is cool and fresh, the environment is tranquil and the surroundings boast greenery.

Just a 40-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur city centre takes you to Tropicana Grandhill at Genting Highlands, where a host of pampering lifestyle offerings and services, amidst nature's lush greenery and cool clean air, would surely revive and rejuvenate you.

Tropicana Grandhill, a 112-acre new freehold integrated retreat master plan situated in the cool hills of Genting Highlands, offers retreat-style living spaces with far-reaching forest views, where stress evaporates and worries get switched off.

Tropicana Grandhill is equipped with all the necessities and conveniences of modern life. The Tropicana Grandhill is the first township development in Genting Highlands with contemplative master planning. The development features six pillars -- residential, commercial, education, wellness, park, and silver hair -- to be developed in three phases. The commercial spaces will capitalise on the immersive beauty of Tropicana Grandhill's environs, with cantilevered decks, mountain-view cafes and more. Tropicana Grandhill's Wellness Hub will feature a variety of medical and wellness businesses offering a comprehensive set of health services worthy of a medical tourism city. Noteworthy also is the much anticipated silver hair component -- retirees can look forward to a carefree life of adventure and wellbeing.

Tropicana Grandhill's first residential component is TwinPines Serviced Suites. Immerse yourself in hotel-style amenities, facilities and services, including exclusive on-demand concierge services. Ah concierge services, at your beck and call... it is as awesome as it sounds! Someone to meet and greet you and your guests as you arrive; give you tour and amenities guidance; make all the arrangements for you, be it tours, transportation, golf and dining reservations, spa and salon appointments, and porter services including handling your parcels and laundry. Besides daily housekeeping services à la hotels, TwinPines has a vacant home care programme whereby they will maintain your home in tiptop condition, ready to welcome you and your guests.

TwinPines' host of modern tropical facilities include an outdoor heated swimming pool. Its two residential towers offer 13 types of units, ranging from 379sf studios to 1,330sf four-bedroom dual-key units. All units will be fully outfitted with furniture, fitting and equipment -- truly move-in ready.

Tropicana Grandhill is minutes away from all the key attractions in Genting Highlands, chief of which is the Resort World Genting (RWG) with its casinos, theme parks and myriads of entertainment offerings. Catch international concerts, performances and competitions at the 45,000sf Arena of Stars musical amphitheatre. Shop at the Sky Avenue which has over 100 retail outlets and restaurants, the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets with its more than 150 designer brands, First World Plaza, Awana SkyCentral, or the retail shops of Genting Permai and Goh Tong Jaya. Or golf, bowl, trek, catch a movie, dine in style... Everything Genting Highlands has to offer is within minutes from Tropicana Grandhill.

Genting Highlands is undeniably both a popular getaway for city folks and a tourist hub. Visitor arrivals to Genting Highlands have steadily increased over the years, especially after Genting Malaysia Bhd kicked off its 10-year RM10.3 billion Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (GITP).

Analysts, market observers and hoteliers alike expect visitor numbers to skyrocket once RWG's outdoor theme park is operational.

RWG's current portfolio of some 10,500 rooms is insufficient to cater to future demand, especially as according to Genting's Annual Report 2019, RWG's average hotel occupancy rate has already hit 95% in 2019.

With your very own property in Genting Highlands, you need not worry of not being able to secure a room, even during super-peak periods. Think of all the money you can save in hotel accommodations as well. During peak season, the weekend rate at a Genting Highlands hotel can range from RM300++ to a whooping RM2,890++ per night! A casual search on Airbnb shows short-term accommodations currently averaging around RM180 per night.

With your own TwinPines suite, you can drop in any time, no booking ahead necessary, and enjoy the full hotel service. Rent the unit out when you're not using it; after all the rental rates in Genting Highlands are really attractive. If you have a dual-key unit, you can do both at any one time -- reserve one part of your property, ever ready to welcome you whenever you fancy a getaway, and rent out the other part -- truly the best of both worlds.

Now is a good time as any to secure your own piece of haven in Genting Highlands. Interest rates are currently at historic lows. The government has reintroduced the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC). Sign a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) between 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021 to benefit from full stamp duty exemption on the instruments of transfer for properties with a value of up to RM1 million, and on loan instruments for properties valued up to RM2.5 million.

Tropicana Grandhill is also part of Tropicana's 10-TEN Campaign which features 10 not-to-be-missed deals.
