The hallmark of a successful event is often a good location. With the right spot, the stage is set for the occasion to go precisely how you want it.
At Malaysia’s only premier integrated resort located 1,800m above sea level, Resorts World Genting (RWG) offers verdant hilltop views, cool weather and a unique variety of venues to help pull together an unforgettable event – whether for formal corporate functions or lavish wedding banquets.
Choosing to host your dream event here is not just a delightful experience; it is also a smart financial move, thanks to an advantageous exchange rate that favours the robust dollar. This means you get to craft memorable experiences at RWG and reap substantial cost savings along the way.
To truly elevate your event, you also need the right amenities and entertainment options all in the same place. For corporate retreats held at RWG, going from work to play is a fuss-free transition, with the Genting International Convention Centre and the Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park within walking distance of each other.
Discover something for everyone
Start the day with work meetings, seminars and post-meeting breakout sessions at the Convention Centre, which comprises 18 meeting rooms that may be combined to suit specific needs with customised technical equipment setup, or at the Business Centre, with its full suite of facilities to accommodate small-group discussions. If more space is needed, the impressive Grand Ballroom spans four halls and can hold up to 3,500 people.
Then, head to the iconic Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, the best location for team bonding and blowing off steam after a day of official business. The outdoor theme park features nine exciting themed worlds with unique rides and attractions, so there will be something for everyone regardless of their appetite for thrill-seeking. Opt for the team building package ($80 per person), and each participant gets a one-day unlimited pass to all the rides, food and beverage credits, and a welcome gift.

Stay and play at a nature-infused resort
At RWG, seven hotels – ranging from value-for-money, comfortable stays to luxurious, five-star options – are available for booking. In particular, groups looking to organise wellness retreats would appreciate a stay at the nature-inspired Resorts World Awana. Surrounded by a luxuriant forest, the resort is the perfect setting for peaceful contemplation. It also comes fully equipped with meeting facilities catering to group activities and bonding sessions.
After dark, the fun continues at the new Gohtong Way, a free-entry, family-friendly hangout spot at Central Park in Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park. Named after Genting Group’s late founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, this nightly magical escape is where friends and loved ones can come together to eat, drink and let their hair down once the sun sets.
Take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure and enjoy gourmet food from around the globe. Choose from British fish and chips, rustic Italian pasta, mouth-watering Thai mookata, Arabian grain bowls and more.
Foodies craving local fare will also be spoilt for choice. Take your pick from Muhibbah Bro’s roti prata with chicken curry or savoury skewers from Harimau Lok-Lok. Pinching pennies? Jom Makan offers scrumptious street food dishes like chicken rice and nasi lemak that will tantalise your palate at pocket-friendly prices.
After getting your fill of Malaysia's epic multicultural cuisine, there is plenty more to see and do. Take in a dancing fountain show at the Lake of Dreams or chill out to live entertainment and enjoy the musical stylings of buskers ready to wow you with their latest scores – all under the starry night sky and in chilly Genting weather.
End the night on a high note with a nostalgic movie that will transport you to the good old days, or amp up the action with a heart-pounding football match featuring your favourite clubs from the English Premier League.
A comfortable night’s rest awaits in the refurbished rooms and suites of Resorts World Awana.

Have a wedding in the clouds
Perhaps the most important event anyone can organise is their wedding. Whether getting married for the first time or renewing vows, the Great Lawn, located at Resorts World Awana and surrounded by a lush 130-million-year-old rainforest with a majestic view of the rolling highlands, is the perfect backdrop for a dreamy garden-themed ceremony.
A customisable wedding package that includes special room rates for family and friends, as well as menu options starting from $118 per person with a minimum of 150 guests to reserve makes pulling together the destination wedding much more convenient. And with loved ones present on this special day, immortalise these moments with a pre-wedding shoot. The misty rainforest views of the Great Lawn make for beautiful, whimsical shots.
Still, for those looking for something quirky, the Theme Park’s sprawling attractions offer endless possibilities to bring fantastical visions to life – whether it’s a photoshoot in a cable car ride on Awana SkyWay, or in front of the mesmerising fountain show at the Lake of Dreams.
