Penang Mutiara Beach Resort (GPS: 5.45994, 100.21674) is a now-defunct 5-star resort in Teluk Bahang, Penang. The resort was built in 1987 as a joint venture between Pernas Hotel (Penang) and Overseas Union Enterprise (OUE) Singapore. It opened to business on 16 September 1988.

Penang Mutiara Beach Resort had 438 guest rooms. It was managed by Singapore Mandarin International (now called Meritus Hotels & Resorts), the hospitality arm of OUE. Pernas Hotel Chain Sdn Bhd took over management in 1999. The owner is Pernas International Holdings Bhd, now known as Tradewinds Corporation Bhd. There were negotiations for InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG Hotels & Resorts) to manage the hotel under the name InterContinental Resort Penang.

On 27 March 2006, the resort closed, purportedly for renovation, with reopening set to 2008. This was then delayed to 2009, and then postponed indefinitely. Over time, it became an abandoned building.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
