Dusit Hotels and Resorts has signed to manage ASAI Gamuda Cove – Dusit’s first hotel in Malaysia and the first hotel development by Gamuda Land.

Slated to open in Q1 2026, the hotel is situated next to the sprawling Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands within the planned Gamuda Cove.

The masterplan comprises residential and commercial elements, including schools, universities, medical centres, retail spaces and offices with convenient access to Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, and Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur airport is 20 minutes away by car, and the KL city centre can be reached in 40 minutes.

Residential and commercial areas complement a range of eco-friendly tourism attractions, such as the already operational SplashMania Waterpark and Discovery Park.

Operating under Dusit’s locally focused lifestyle brand, ASAI Hotels, the 280-key ASAI Gamuda Cove hotel is the first hotel signed under Dusit’s expanded ‘ASAI Tropical’ model, specifically tailored for properties located in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Facilities include an infinity pool, extra dining venues, expanded event spaces, and a wider variety of room categories, including spacious, family-friendly options.

Highlighting Gamuda Cove’s green credentials, an e-tram network – the first of its kind in Malaysia – will link guests to attractions within the development, while a pedestrian-only commercial hub, will limit the use of motorised vehicles and reduce carbon footprint.

Regular community-based activities and events will give guests a taste of local culture and experiences while highlighting the importance of responsible tourism.
