The new ONE°15 marina will be located in Langkawi, an archipelago off the northwestern coast of Malaysia known as the “Jewel of Kedah”, consisting of 99 islands and home to Southeast Asia’s first UNESCO Global Geopark. It will sit along the Andaman Sea, between ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore and ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket in Thailand, on a regional cruising route connecting destinations in the area.

Expected to welcome its first vessels in the second half of 2027, ONE°15 Marina Langkawi will feature more than 90 berths, including capacity for superyachts of up to 140ft (43 metres), alongside facilities for yacht owners, charter operators and leisure travellers. Visitors will also have access to accommodation, dining and entertainment at Resorts World Langkawi, owned and operated by Genting Malaysia, a portfolio of leisure and hospitality properties across Malaysia, the United States, the Bahamas, the United Kingdom and Egypt.

Lee Thiam Kit, president of Genting Malaysia Berhad, said: “Resorts World Langkawi has always been committed to creating unique experiences that celebrate the beauty and character of the island. Through our collaboration with ONE°15 Marina, we look forward to enhancing Langkawi’s appeal as a premier island tourism destination, offering visitors new ways to explore the island and its surrounding waters. This partnership also supports the Langkawi Development Authority’s vision of strengthening Langkawi’s position as a world-class tourism destination, by enriching the island’s tourism offerings and contributing to the sustainable growth of its maritime and leisure sectors.”

Arthur Tay, executive director and chief executive officer of SUTL Enterprise, said the Langkawi development supports the continued expansion of the company’s marina network and its focus on waterfront destinations across Asia. Beyond its marinas in Singapore and Thailand, the company also operates ONE°15 Marina Nirup Island in Indonesia and ONE°15 Marina Desaru Coast in Malaysia.

He added: “Our regional marina footprint is carefully curated, each defined by a distinct personality and experience, delivering consistently high marina standards, offering members and the wider yachting community a diverse yet cohesive range of exceptional lifestyle-led marina experiences across the region.”

Together, the companies aim to establish ONE°15 Marina Langkawi as a waterfront destination that strengthens the island’s position as a yachting and marine tourism hub in Southeast Asia, building on its established infrastructure, international connectivity and duty-free status.
