Malaysia is set to welcome another first, as hospitality group Onyx is opening its inaugural Shama property in the country’s up-and-coming city, Johor Bahru.

Named Shama Suasana Johor Bahru, the soon-to-open building is developed in cooperation with United Malayan Land, one of Malaysia’s premier property and township development companies. It is scheduled to rise in the first quarter of the year.

Nestled at the heart of the city, Shama Suasana Johor Bahru boasts a highly accessible location, with it being near the city’s best leisure and business establishments. This includes Johor Bahru’s premier entertainment hub, Zenith Lifestyle Centre, and its famous cultural site, the Heritage Trail.

The property will also be located near the city’s transportation systems, like the Rapid Transport System and the CIQ.

Staying true to the Shama brand’s contemporary, stylish, and cosy qualities, the new property will offer spacious and luxurious suites, fully equipped kitchenettes, and modern bathrooms, along with other lavish amenities.

The soon-to-open development makes Malaysia the first country to carry three Onyx Hospitality Group brands aside from Thailand, following the opening of Amari Johor Bahru in 2017 and OZO George Town Penang in 2020.

A new development is set to rise near the capital city, as one of Thailand’s largest hotel companies, Dusit Hotels and Resorts, has inked a partnership with leading property developer Gamuda Land to manage its first hotel in Malaysia.

Called the ASAI Gamuda Cove, the soon-to-rise hotel marks Gamuda Land’s first hotel project. Through the Hotel Management Agreement signed by the two companies, the hotel will operate under Dusit’s lifestyle brand, ASAI Hotels.

This move aims to connect travellers and guests with authentic local experiences in the neigbourhood.

The hotel is slated to open in the first quarter of 2026, next to the marvellous Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands within Gamuda’s sustainable city, Gamuda Cove. It will be located near various residential and commercial establishments in the city, including the SplashMania Waterpark and Discovery Park, the Kuala Lumpur airport, and the city centre.

Like Dusit’s ASAI hotels in Bangkok and Kyoto, the hotel in Malaysia will be signed under the brand’s “ASAI Tropical” model, which features compact rooms, plush beds, infinity pools, and expanded event spaces, among other upgrades.

In a press release, Gilles Cretallaz, chief operating officer of Dusit International, commented on the partnership, stating, “We look forward to delivering a unique and unforgettable hotel experience that immerses guests in the diverse cultural tapestry of Malaysia and the natural beauty of the wetlands, all while contributing enduring value to our esteemed partners and the community we serve.”

The ASAI Gamuda Cove joins over 60 of Dusit’s hotels that are currently in the pipeline, plus its existing portfolio of 56 hotels in 19 countries.
