AVILLION Port Dickson won the Luxury Boutique Hotel award at the recent 2010 World Luxury Hotel Awards held in Hua Hin, Thailand. The awards, the most coveted in the luxury hotel industry, recognise hotels that go the extra mile to service their guests, making them “exceptional hotels”. Avillion Port Dickson, at the third mile of the town’s coastal stretch, is about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur. It won for consistently providing a high level of efficient and personalised services to guests and for its architectural design, an eclectic blend of Malay and Javanese influences in the style of a Malay fishing village. Water chalets with windows opening out to the sea line the seven finger piers of the unique hotel. 

The hotel’s group executive director Gricia Gan says of the award: “We thank our guests and business partners for this achievement. Our success was a result of the efforts, commitment and dedication of our staff at all levels. We will continue to strive towards providing greater service excellence as we surf new waves in the challenging market environment.”  Avillion Port Dickson has 259 rooms, from Beach Rooms and Garden Chalets to Premium Water Chalets, Water Chalets and Water Suites. The rooms come with either a king-sized bed or two single four-poster beds with a pangkin or day bed, and private open-air bathroom. The Avillion hotel group maintains three other Malaysian beach resorts and hotels: Avillion Admiral Cove, Avillion Legacy Melaka and Avillion Layang-Layang.
