Shama Medini, Iskandar Malaysia

An increasing number of projects are ushering in people from across the region to the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia.

Part of the UML and Medini Lakeside masterplan, which sits across from Legoland, Shama Medini features 213 serviced apartments. Within the upscale development, residents and guests will have access to retail in UMC Mall, as well as multiple restaurants, a gym, swimming pool, kids’ play areas, outdoor pavilion and a surau within the development itself. Covering more than two hectares, the development overlooks a beautiful five-hectare lake.

There’s an enormity of things going on in this region of Malaysia. Besides the aforementioned Legoland with its seven themed areas of family fun, there’s also a number of universities based there. EduCity, a fully integrated education hub, plays host to a number of international universities including the University of Southampton, Raffles University and Newcastle University. Students can live on campus and receive an international education from a top university, all while not being too far from home.
