Local Attractions

Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia's top travel destinations, possessing an endless range of attractions and activities that cater to cosmopolitan shoppers, cultural enthusiasts, history buffs and nature-lovers.

Comprising Peninsular Malaysia (in the West) and East Malaysia (part of the Borneo archipelago), the country will hold many allures for you, from shopping experience of its modern cities to the splendour of its cultural arts and the rich heritage of natural flora and fauna!

 

Shopping
Iskandar Malaysia’s shopping malls are much more than just shopping destinations. Well-designed and attractive venues, they host a wide array of outlets such as:

  • Retail outlets including a host of designer outlets and major high street brands as well as international haute couture.
  • Food courts, cafes, fast food outlets and themed restaurants
  • Multiplex cinemas
  • Entertainment and leisure centres
Johor has one of the highest consumer spending figures in the country across all product categories, which will attract a number of national and international retail majors.

 
Dining
Food is a passion in the city, and one will be spoilt for choice given the wide range of prospective restaurants:
  • Malay
  • Chinese
  • Indian
  • Middle Eastern
  • Continental such as French and Italian
  • Oriental such as Thai, Japanese, and Korean

With menus to suit every palate and budget, we are truly transforming the region’s dining scene from merely memorable to absolutely amazing.

Throughout the city, four-star dining rooms will co-exist with unassuming neighbourhood bistros; upscale fine dining destinations tucked away in hotels and high-profile restaurants owned by star restaurateurs to counterbalance the casual eateries and family-operated stalls alongside sidewalks. International fast-food chains and theme restaurants, serving the standard fare of hamburgers, chips and pizzas will also be available in Iskandar Malaysia.

Regular food festivals will also be organised to serve various regional specialties from around the world.

 
Entertainment Outlets

Small yet trendy social and recreational outlets will offer you the opportunity to have great dialogue with a company of friends. These hotspots will be found in urban residential areas as well as in Iskandar Malaysia’s wide variety of hotels. Live entertainment will be another hallmark, with frequent live bands in various venues to entertain patrons.

 

Hotels will accommodate their own in-house lounges with contemporary, modern and plush environments that are impressive in ambience and trim levels.

From large, expansive entertainment outlets to quiet, fusion bistros, there will be something in Iskandar Malaysia to cater to every taste.

Iskandar Malaysia will be home to an astounding collection of museums, artistic venues and historical attractions. There will be amazing art installations, jazz venues, architectural landmarks and much more to satisfy all your artistic and cultural fancies.

Many of Iskandar Malaysia’s nightspot restaurants have a stage for performances by bands and solo artistes both local and foreign. If singing is more your style, visit our karaoke lounges that are all the rage.
