Puteri Harbour in Iskandar Puteri (formerly known as Nusajaya) today cemented its position as the premier family and lifestyle destination in Malaysia’s southern region with the launch of “time.together”, an initiative aimed at encouraging the public to come to Puteri Harbour and spend quality time with family and friends. 

The initiative, which leverages Puteri Harbour’s unique and distinctive offering, showcases the full suite of family-friendly activities in the region. These include visits to SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN, the largest integrated Hello Kitty themed offering in South East Asia which gives visitors the only complete Hello Kitty experience outside of Japan, and THOMAS TOWN, the home of all time family favourite characters – Thomas & Friends.

The time.together initiative will see the destination embarking on several projects that will bring unforgettable moments to adults and children alike. Among those projects include a special collaboration between Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour and SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN, to produce exclusively designed Hello Kitty themed hotel rooms for families and fans of the beloved icon. The rooms will be open to public later this year.

PUTERI HARBOUR DINING & LEISURE

The saying goes: A family that eats together stays together. When it comes to dining and lifestyle options, Puteri Harbour has got that down to an art, leaving visitors spoilt for choice and a water-front ambience that cannot be found anywhere else. The myriad of dining and shopping options include retail and lifestyle stores, fine dining restaurants and alfresco cafes, all of which were carefully planned to capitalise on the breath-taking view of the marina.

Every month, Puteri Harbour also hosts “Port of Call”, the destination’s signature outdoor carnival featuring pop-up music, arts and a street market. Encapsulating all of the harbour’s offerings in a single event, it is an event that has to be experienced by every family.

Puteri Harbour is strategically located near the Senai International Airport and Singapore’s Changi International Airport; as well as four international seaports and the Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal. It is also accessible via a good network of highways and is just 15 minutes from the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.
