Bidding goodbye to the rainy season and hello to sunshine and sunny skies, Berjaya Redang Beach Resort is pleased to announce business will resume with the passing of the rainy season. In celebration to its re-opening, Berjaya Redang Beach Resort will launch two new collection of suites; Premier Suites and Oceanfront Suites. Targeted at the discerning holiday maker who desires a private and serene getaway, this series of new suites offer superior comfort and breathtaking views. Designed to co-exist in harmony with the famed nature of Redang Island, these new suites provide comfort and privacy amidst tropical breeze, powder-white sandy beaches and pristine blue waters.

PREMIER SUITES & PREMIER ROOMS
The 6 Premier Rooms and 12 Premier Suites are perfect retreats targeted at couples, families and friends. An urban oasis, the Premier Suites - specially designed with a Jacuzzi placed snugly inside the privacy of the bedroom, is a new luxury which comes with a breathtaking view and sound of the ocean right outside. The unique feature of the Premier Suite is the spacious living hall leading to an outside balcony facing the breathtaking waters of the South China Sea. For the best of both worlds, both the Premier Suite (100m²) and Premier Room (54m²) can be adjoined to accommodate larger families and friends traveling together. Both room categories come with a sophisticated Rainshower system which makes showering almost therapeutic.

These new suites feature urban contemporary architectural influences, set amidst plush interiors and calming outdoor space. Setting off a perfect balance, the unique and sleek Budji’s designer furniture complements the luxurious ambience of the Premier Suite and Premier Room. Originating from the Philippines, Budji’s impeccable designs bring out the lavish flair of both Premier Suite and Premier Room. Well known for its extraordinary and holistic designs, Budji’s furnitures are masterpieces with a contemporary touch. The immaculate craftsmanship and detailing of each Budji’s furniture is what makes each piece a highly revered work of art. Made of high quality tropical hard wood, the floors give a sense of warmth and comfort to the feet and eyes.

Putting sleep comfort a priority, the Premier Suites come with a king-size bed while the Premier Rooms super twin beds. Lavish pillows and duvets with a 300 thread count provide a most comfortable sleep. Along comes a 29-inch LCD colour television with in-house movies and music channels, a DVD player, a walk-in wardrobe, dressing table, in-room safe, sliding glass doors as well as individual air-conditioning and ceiling fan. Wake up to warm sunshine and have a hearty breakfast while soaking in the sea breeze at the dedicated breakfast area located on the hills overlooking the sea.

A private check-in area and a private gymnasium are additional special benefits awaiting guests of this room category. Wi-Fi internet services are also available, with coverage areas including all guest rooms, chalets, guest lobby and check-in area, Palms Restaurant, Ocean Terrace Lounge, The Beach Restaurant and all function rooms. Rates for a Premier Room start from RM1,200.00 (USD343.00) while a Premier Suite starts from RM2,800.00 (USD800.00).

OCEANFRONT SUITES
To meet the needs of leisure travelers who prefer a bigger room space, the existing front row of deluxe seaview chalets were upgraded to make way for 12 exclusive Oceanfront Suites. The Oceanfront Suites are made up of one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, with six units from each category. Both Oceanfront One-Bedroom and Two-Bedroom Suites are housed in double-storey wooden chalets, featuring traditional Malaysian architectural design.

Measuring at 82m², the Oceanfront Suites have a king-size bed with spring mattress luxuriously wrapped in plush bedsheets, duvet and feather pillows. On top of this comes a 29-inch LCD colour television with in-house movies, a DVD player, dressing table, air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, sliding and folding doors. The en-suite bathroom comes with a powder room, bath tub and shower cubicle. Rates for an Oceanfront Suite start from RM1,800.00 (USD515.00).

Consequently, the 266-room Berjaya Redang Beach Resort now boasts of the largest room inventory in Redang Island. Following this RM40.0 million (USD11.0 million) room facelift, Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, Lynn Oh (Ms.) says the resort would be attracting more guests from Europe, Australia and regional markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.

“Redang Island is celebrated for its crystal clear waters and powder-white sandy beaches. It is a secluded and unobtrusive island which draws regular guests, in particular divers, who return each season to plunge in on the 30 diving sites which lay claim to one of the world’s most amazing underwater kingdoms. For those seeking a rejuvenating and pampering spa experience, the Ayura Spa offers its signature Aromatherapy Massage, which is a 60-minutes massage treatment that does wonders to alleviate stress. The spa is set in a refreshing environment, with its rainforest backdrop and Malay-inspired traditional treatments to help guests unwind and relax”, adds Oh.

While the leisure market continues to be the main business of the resort, corporate and MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions) will play a significant role this year. Corporate group packages and team building activities have been designed to meet the needs of this growing market. Included also are beach barbeque with seafood fresh from the sea and various beach activities.

Meanwhile, the resort is also getting bookings from its own website. Dynamic pricing strategies have been employed and this indicates the significance of this distribution channel. “While we work closely with travel agents and wholesalers, the website allows us an avenue to market our various packages so that individual travelers/customers will obtain BAR (best available rates) for that particular period. This will encourage and reward customers to book early and to capitalize on revenues during low seasons”, further adds Oh.
