Resorts World Awana

The Resort & Its Setting

Resorts World Awana is part of the Genting group's hospitality footprint in Genting Highlands, a hilltop resort town in Pahang that sits noticeably higher — and cooler — than the rest of Malaysia. Guests get an outdoor pool and access to an 18-hole golf course, with the wider Genting Highlands infrastructure right on the doorstep. Google reviewers rate the property 4 out of 5 from nearly 5,000 reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as a refined hotel offering upscale accommodation.

Genting Highlands: The Area and Things to Do

Genting Highlands is one of Peninsular Malaysia's best-known hill resort destinations, built around entertainment, cooler air, and an easy drive up from Kuala Lumpur on the highway. Within a few kilometres of Resorts World Awana you'll find a theme park, the wider Resorts World Genting complex with its casino, shopping and dining, and a strawberry farm that thrives in the highland climate. It's a destination that works for theme-park days, cooler-weather breaks from the tropical heat below, and short trips built around Resorts World Genting's entertainment offer.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their Resorts World Awana week regularly turn to resale or rental rather than letting it sit idle. On BidMyTimeshare.com this is a private, owner-to-owner process: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken from your sale — you pay a one-time listing fee to advertise, and that's it.

Because Resorts World Awana doesn't have brand-specific transfer figures published here, resale isn't handled through our platform directly — it goes through the resort's owners' association or Genting's management team, as with most branded timeshare transfers. Before agreeing on a price with any buyer, ask the resort or management office for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these can change over time and will affect what a buyer is willing to pay. Confirm, too, whether any right of first refusal applies to your week, as some Genting contracts include this clause.

A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and obligations tied to the week (including future maintenance fees) but does not automatically inherit any loyalty perks or promotional extras the original owner may have received when buying directly from the developer. If the week is enrolled with Interval International, ask the resort whether that exchange affiliation transfers with resale — this isn't guaranteed and is worth confirming in writing before closing a deal.

What Renters Look For

Renters booking a week at Resorts World Awana are usually drawn by the cooler Genting Highlands climate as a break from Malaysia's lowland heat, plus easy access to the theme park and the broader Resorts World Genting entertainment complex. Clear dates, an honest description of the unit and view, and confirmation of what's included (pool access, parking, any resort fees) all help a listing convert faster. Photos of the room and outlook matter more here than almost anything else, since buyers are weighing a mountain resort experience against Malaysia's many beach alternatives.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Genting Highlands gets busy during Malaysian school holidays and major festival periods, so weeks tied to those dates tend to hold rental and resale interest better than off-peak weeks. The elevation means genuinely cooler weather year-round, which is part of the appeal but also worth flagging to renters used to tropical Malaysia. Anyone relying on Interval International exchange should check current availability directly with II before committing to a trade, since affiliation status and inventory can change.
