Batu Ferringhi Hotels


Batu Ferringhi is by far the most popular beach of Penang. Although over the years the typical beach holiday lovers may have found a new paradise at Langkawi, and the some of the main attractions of Penang are located in Georgetown, Batu Ferringhi is again a more relaxed beach then, say, 10-15 years ago. Once again, Batu Ferringhi has it... and with "it" the hotels come. With its nightmarkets at night and the beach at day time, Batu Ferringhi is an excellent choice for your holiday at Penang.

On this page you will find some of the best located and best priced hotels.

D'Feringghi Restaurant & Hotel Penang

D'Feringghi Restaurant & Hotel Penang is one of the cheaper options in Batu Ferringhi. The best recommendation comes from a visitor:

My family and I were up in Penang during Christmas 2007 and chanced upon this newly opened Hotel. It's a pretty small budget hotel but has been tastefully put together. In my opinion, the 2 strongest aspects of this hotel were:- 1) pricing : rm130-200 per night which is a bargain for a hotel within Ferringhi area; and 2) location : along the main road of Ferringhi, opposite of night market and local food court, 3mins walk to the beach. The owner of the hotel himself greeted us and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day stay. For a joint of that pricing. We will go there again this year's Christmas.

Casuarina Beach Resort Penangcasuarina beach resort

The Casuarina Beach Resort Penang has 180 luxuriously-spacious guestrooms with panoramic views of the beach and bay. There is a restaurants, a coffee shop, bar and lounge and a range of banqueting facilities. The hotel is located at the far end of Batu Ferringhi, a short walk from the night market.

You can go direct from the hotel into activities like jet skiing, wind surfing, parasailing, fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving. But you can also simply stay at the beach and relax.

Other areas in Penang

Bayan Lepas is convenient if you arrive or depart from Penang International Airport. However, it's a long way to the beaches of Teluk Bahang and Batu Ferringhi and the Georgetown city center is also 15 km away. On the other hand, Teluk Bahang is a long way from the airport but has much to offer. Check out the hotels of your choice on this page
