SUTL ENTERPRISE AND RESORTS WORLD LANGKAWI TO DEVELOP ONE°15 MARINA LANGKAWI
Resorts World Langkawi, owned and operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad (“Genting Malaysia”), and ONE°15 Marina, a subsidiary of SUTL Enterprise Limited (“SUTL”), have announced a strategic collaboration to develop ONE°15 Marina Langkawi, a new marina destination set to further strengthen Langkawi’s position as a premier yachting and marine tourism hub in Southeast Asia.
Featuring more than 90 berths and the capacity to accommodate superyachts of up to 140 feet, ONE°15 Marina Langkawi is expected to welcome its first yachts in the second half of 2027. The marina will provide high-quality facilities and services for yacht owners, charter operators and leisure travellers while contributing to the continued expansion of cruising infrastructure across the region.
Located in Langkawi, known as the “Jewel of Kedah,” the marina will sit at the heart of a spectacular 99-island archipelago and Southeast Asia’s first UNESCO Global Geopark. Renowned for its ancient limestone formations, pristine beaches, rainforest-covered mountains and rich biodiversity, Langkawi has established itself as one of the region’s most sought-after tourism and cruising destinations.
Upon completion, ONE°15 Marina Langkawi will provide a gateway to the island’s celebrated cruising grounds, with access to yacht charters, island-hopping excursions, sunset cruises and bespoke marine experiences. Visitors will also benefit from convenient access to Resorts World Langkawi’s accommodation, dining, hospitality and entertainment offerings.
Strategically positioned along the Andaman Sea between Singapore and Phuket, Langkawi is a natural stopover for yachts navigating one of Southeast Asia’s most established cruising routes. Combined with its strong tourism infrastructure, international connectivity and duty-free status, the island is well positioned to support continued growth in marine tourism and waterfront leisure experiences.
Mr. Lee Thiam Kit, President of Genting Malaysia Berhad, said: “Resorts World Langkawi has always been committed to creating unique experiences that celebrate the beauty and character of the island. Through our collaboration with ONE°15 Marina, we look forward to enhancing Langkawi’s appeal as a premier island tourism destination, offering visitors new ways to explore the island and its surrounding waters. This partnership also supports the Langkawi Development Authority’s vision of strengthening Langkawi’s position as a world-class tourism destination, by enriching the island’s tourism offerings and contributing to the sustainable growth of its maritime and leisure sectors.”
Mr. Arthur Tay, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of SUTL Enterprise Limited, said: “The development of ONE°15 Marina Langkawi represents an important milestone in the continued expansion of our marina network and reinforces our commitment to developing exceptional waterfront destinations across Asia. Strategically located along the Andaman Sea, between our existing marinas in ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore and ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket in Thailand, Langkawi will strengthen a natural yachting route for boaters to plan seamless cruising holidays across these connected destinations.
“Our regional marina footprint is carefully curated, each defined by a distinct personality and experience, delivering consistently high marina standards, offering members and the wider yachting community a diverse yet cohesive range of exceptional lifestyle-led marina experiences across the region.”
The collaboration brings together the complementary expertise of Resorts World Langkawi and ONE°15 Marina to establish ONE°15 Marina Langkawi as a distinctive new waterfront destination. The development is expected to enhance Langkawi’s marine tourism offering while providing yacht owners, travellers and the wider yachting community with a new base from which to explore the region.
