About Genting Highlands
Malaysia's highland playground sits over 1,800 metres above sea level, a cable car ride above the humidity of the Klang Valley. Genting Highlands pairs cloud-forest views with Southeast Asia's largest indoor theme park and round-the-clock entertainment, a world away from the coast in both climate and pace.
Things to do
Genting Skyway cable car
One of Southeast Asia's fastest cable car systems, climbing through rainforest from Awana station to the summit in around 15 minutes.
Genting SkyWorlds
An indoor-outdoor theme park with rides themed around DreamWorks and Warner Bros. franchises.
First World Plaza
The resort's entertainment and shopping concourse, with year-round events and a casino for guests seeking the tables.
Where to eat
First World Food Court
One of Asia's largest food courts, with hundreds of stalls covering Malaysian, Chinese and Western menus.
Rooftop hawker terraces
Open-air stalls serving steamboat and grilled skewers in cool evening air, a rarity at this latitude.
Getting around
Genting Highlands is roughly a 45–60 minute drive from Kuala Lumpur, or reachable by the Genting Skyway cable car from Awana station, which is served by shuttle buses from KL Sentral and Gombak.
