Perched high in the cool misty hills of Malaysia, Resorts World Genting celebrates its 60th anniversary with a dazzling year-long jubilee — blending nostalgia, nature, and next-level hospitality to mark six decades at the top.
One of Asia’s most iconic resorts is marking a milestone few can match. Resorts World Genting (RWG), perched 6,000 feet above sea level in the lush highlands of Pahang, Malaysia, is celebrating 60 years in the business.
Resorts World Genting is no newly-opened opulent private island resort or luxurious urban retreat in the heart of a major metropolis… but it is a name synonymous with elevated escapes, thrilling entertainment, and multi-generational family holidays.
Since its founding in 1965, Resorts World Genting has evolved from a daring dream — envisioned by the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong as a hilltop retreat — into a towering reality. Today it’s a world-class integrated destination drawing millions annually from weekenders and food lovers to casino-goers and theme park thrill-seekers. Safe to say, anyone who’s ever travelled regularly to Malaysia has at least spent a vacation or two there in the past 60 years.
Now, six decades on, Resorts World Genting is marking its Diamond Jubilee this year not just as a celebration of heritage, but also a reinvention of what it means to escape.
2025 is set to be an all-out extravaganza, an invitation for all — especially Singaporeans — to rediscover (or fall in love all over again with) Genting. Resorts World Genting has unveiled an entire a cornucopia of exclusive promotions, from 1-for-1 Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park tickets to gala dinner experiences and travel fairs, to make this jubilee as much a gift to its guests as a birthday for itself.
Headlining the SG60 campaign is the SG60 Gala Dinner at the Genting International Convention Centre, a dazzling cultural soirée crafted for Genting Rewards Card members that pays homage to the intertwined histories of Singapore and Malaysia. It’s a feast, a performance, and a tribute — all rolled into one glittering evening.
But the festivities won’t end there. For those seeking a deeper, more immersive experience, the 3D2N Resorts World Awana Gala Dinner Experience from 22–24 November will offer a soulful immersion into nature and tradition. Think lush rainforest trails, community celebration, and a grand dinner hosted in style — a slice of Malaysia’s rich culture curated with elevated hospitality.
The celebrations also reflect on the resort’s future-forward evolution, moving beyond casinos and theme parks to embrace sustainability and wellness, embodied by the reborn Resorts World Awana. Following a major refurbishment, this nature-forward escape is now home to scenic trails, forest bathing experiences, and the serene Awana Village and Great Lawn — ideal for weddings, music festivals, and everything in between.
Even the iconic 18-hole golf course is undergoing a full transformation, set to reopen in early 2026 as a top-tier green playground for golf lovers and leisure seekers alike.
Families will find new reasons to return too: Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park has unveiled new rides, while shopaholics can indulge at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets and SkyAvenue Mall, now with added perks thanks to the Tourist Privilege Programme.
So whether you’re returning for a nostalgia trip, seeking a fresh highland adventure, or discovering Resorts World Genting for the very first time, this is an invitation like no other. After all, few places can say they’ve spent 60 years literally on top of the world — and how they intend to stay there.
