The Perfect Beach Getaway @ Avillion Port Dickson


Hi merry goers

2017 is coming to an end, and there's still another long weekend to really take a rest before starting a new year. Long weekends can be tiring if you're travelling to far locations. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing getaway by the seaside, let me recommend Avillion Port Dickson.


A few weeks back, I was going through some pretty stressful moments and burned out from work. This was when I decided I needed a break. Just some quiet time without any noise, to take my mind off things. I didn't want to travel far so the nearest place I thought of was Port Dickson.



I've been to several resorts in Port Dickson and I used to visit my sister who was studying there a few years back. Port Dickson isn't a foreign place to me so I decided to book a getaway at Avillion Port Dickson.


Located by the Straits of Malacca, Avillion Port Dickson is a quaint resort that welcomes you in with lush greenery. We got the Avillion Water Chalet which sits on stilts above the water, inspired by traditional Malay fishing village. 


The Water Chalet is furnished with a 4-poster bed, a Pangkin daybed and also an open bathroom with rain shower.



The sound of the waves below you really transport you from the hustle and bustle of city living. I love the Pangkin daybed which is just perfect to lounge around while you look out to the open sea. If you booked the room that is not blocked by any other rooms, you will be able to enjoy the sunset/sunrise too.


The open bathroom with rain shower is huge! You can opt to shower using the rain shower while listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean or dip into the bathtub for a relaxing session. 


Avillion Port Dickson Resort has everything you would ever need for a nice getaway. They have three huge pools - Village Pool, Kids Pool and Coachin Pool. A lap pool located at the Northern wing, the exclusive Cochin Pool is strictly adults-only, providing a peaceful retreat for those wishing to relax under the sun with a good book in hand. Surrounded by day beds and sun lounges, it is really the perfect refuge for a tranquil afternoon. Just imagine lazing by the pool, with greenery around you and just relaxing. Take a dip when you feel hot or even a midnight swim because it is opened 24 hours! Yes finally a hotel that does not close their pool after 10pm. 


But for the ultimate relaxation, check out AviSpa - a sanctuary of seclusion from daily life. With 7 luxury spa suites with 2 couple suites, 1 premium suite and 4 suites, floating verandas and baths with unparallel views like no other. soothing treatment suites with luxurious spa beds will put you into bliss even before your treatments begins. 


For dining, treat yourself at aVi Lounge because it is just perfect. The iconic floating lounge exudes a sense of calm. Open for breakfast, sunset drinks and private events daily, this stylish and modern lounge expresses its peranakan heritage in a trendsetting language. Can you just look at that amazing view!


Your room would most probably come with breakfast which you can enjoy at Village Court by the pool. It offers a buzzing ambience and is a popular meeting place to spend quality time with your family and friends, day and night. Village Court serves around-the-clock, from buffet breakfast spread, appetizers and snacks to entrees, pastas, pizzas and local delights. Meals are prepared with intricate care and fresh ingredients to tantalize your taste buds.

Garden Chalet


If you thought that Avillion Port Dickson only has Water Chalets you are wrong because there are also Garden Chalets too! The Garden Chalet is an all-time favourite for families. It offers a refreshing garden view for guests who adore being surrounded by nature. Whether it is on the ground floor or the first floor, each Garden Chalet comes with a private balcony that overlooks the beautifully-landscaped garden. 
 

Each room has either a 4-poster King Sized Bed or Twin-bedded, Pangkin Daybed with a private balcony plus ensuite bathroom with separate bath tub, standing shower and toilet. Perfect to accommodate up to 3 adults or 2 adults with 1 child. If you prefer greenery, this is the perfect place to be because you can enjoy both the Garden Chalet as well as the beautiful seaview.


I definitely felt well rested at Avillion Port Dickson and is my recommended staycation resort. To make your booking head over to http://www.avillionportdickson.com
