Setia Pearl Island, Sungai Ara (10 July 2015)


Setia Pearl Island (GPS: 5.30285, 100.25897) is a housing estate in the Sungai Ara suburb of Bayan Lepas, Penang. It occupies the 112.6 acre plot of land that was previously the golf course of the now defunct Setia Pearl Island Country Club. The housing estate is divided into three neighbourhoods called Isle of Life, Isle of Aroma and Isle of Conifer.

The Setia Pearl Island development comprises link and semi-detached landed properties surrounded by tropical landscaping features such as cascading waters and greenery. Although originally Setia Pearl Island was developed by the Setia Group, taking over from Public Packages, since then other developers such as Ideal Group have also developed adjoining neighbourhoods which are often lumped together as part of Setia Pearl Island.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
