AVÉA @ Andaman: E&O’s premium seafront master-planned township in Penang

Rarely is such a lifestyle associated with vibrant enclaves, but in Gurney Green on Andaman Island, Penang, a freehold serviced apartment is poised to offer this waterfront experience within a lively urban setting.

Anchoring this new chapter is AVÉA @ Andaman, brought to life by Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O), which has decades of experience and an established footprint across Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor and London.

E&O’s standing as a premium lifestyle developer is anchored by its luxury hospitality heritage, drawn from its namesake, the iconic Eastern & Oriental Hotel — a George Town landmark within the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1885. In Penang, this legacy includes Seri Tanjung Pinang, an award‑winning master‑planned seafront township widely regarded as one of the island’s most desirable residential addresses.

Andaman Island represents the next chapter in E&O’s placemaking journey. Guided by a 30‑year vision for sustainable, liveable urban living, this 760‑acre master‑planned island township, planned to accommodate around 30,000 residents by 2030, sets the stage for AVÉA @ Andaman to take shape.

AVÉA: continuing Andaman’s waterfront legacy

Set on a 5‑acre site, AVÉA @ Andaman comprises two contemporary residential towers — Tower A and Tower B, with 540 units each for a total of 1,080 serviced apartments — targeted for completion in June 2030.

AVÉA @ Andaman offers a selection of 1+1 bedroom, 2‑bedroom and 3‑bedroom layouts ranging from 678 sq ft to 1,076 sq ft, with well‑planned interiors designed to support the needs of small families and growing households. Selling prices start from RM724,000, with a gross development value of RM1 billion.

Each residence is delivered fully furnished, offering a hassle‑free move‑in experience from day one. Well‑sized interiors are complemented by private balconies and premium‑quality fittings, supporting comfortable everyday living close to the waterfront.

As of June 2026, Tower A has recorded a take‑up rate of about 65%, reflecting steady interest in this new phase of Andaman Island’s development.

Marina‑edge address with promenade access

Following the success of Maris, AVÉA @ Andaman is introduced as the second marina‑edge residence within Andaman, envisioned as a modern and stylish waterfront serviced apartment.

With direct access to the waterfront promenade and marina, homes here are oriented to capture views across Penang Island, while the promenade draws residents out for evening strolls along a landscaped edge.

The promenade is complemented by 10 commercial shoplots, cafés and communal spaces that support a waterfront ecosystem where people can live, work, play, learn and even sail. From morning coffees to evening gatherings, daily routines unfold just steps from leisure, dining and recreation within a network of communal spaces.

The curated mix of retail, dining and lifestyle offerings is designed to provide convenient everyday touchpoints for residents, without requiring them to leave the island for basic needs and downtime.

Community- and wellness-centric podium

At the heart of AVÉA @ Andaman is what E&O describes as Andaman’s largest facilities podium, complemented by a rooftop gym and rooftop garden that open up to sea views, reinforcing its identity as a marina‑edge residence.

Designed with community and wellness in mind, the expansive podium hosts a comprehensive range of facilities — including lap pool, family pool, kids’ pool, spa pool and jogging track — alongside landscaped spaces such as the herb garden, meditation garden, meditation deck, bio pond, maze garden and open lawns, and active amenities including badminton and basketball courts.

Indoor communal spaces such as the living room, reading room, meeting room, games room and event hall extend everyday living beyond the home, while a dedicated pet lawn presents a pet‑friendly space for fur kids to roam and play.

Arrival is equally considered, with separate retail and resident drop‑offs for privacy and ease, leading into a ground‑floor experience anchored by residents’ lounges, concierge services, mail and parcel rooms, and a bicycle garage.

Together, these facilities reflect a focus on social interaction, health and convenience, bringing a range of daily functions into a single podium environment.

15-minute city concept: Keeping daily life close to home

AVÉA @ Andaman is designed around the 15‑minute city concept, where everyday essentials are within easy reach. Connectivity is seamless via the Andaman Bridge and Gurney Bridge, providing convenient access to Gurney Bay, Gurney Drive and George Town.

Daily conveniences and leisure destinations — including Gurney Plaza, Gurney Paragon Mall and Straits Quay Retail Marina — are within a short drive, while healthcare providers such as Penang Adventist Hospital and Island Hospital Penang add reassurance to daily living.

The location is further supported by established educational institutions including Dalat International School and Penang Chinese Girls’ Private High School, with Seri Tanjung Pinang nearby, placing residents within a well‑connected urban network that balances accessibility, lifestyle and community.

This combination of island setting and city‑edge connectivity is intended to give residents practical access to work, education, healthcare and leisure while keeping home life centred on Andaman Island.

Green township vision

Andaman Island Phase 1 is Malaysia’s first township to obtain GreenRE Provisional Platinum Certification, underscoring a long‑term commitment to sustainable urban growth in Penang.

Extending this vision, AVÉA @ Andaman has also attained GreenRE Provisional Platinum Certification, aligned with E&O’s broader aspiration to create future‑ready communities. Each residence is planned with layouts that maximise natural light and cross‑ventilation, creating a sense of openness, while EV charging equipment and bicycle bays support more sustainable mobility choices.

The certification framework highlights key considerations in energy efficiency, environmental performance and residents’ wellbeing, and is intended to guide both design decisions and day‑to‑day operations across the township.

Curating a lifestyle close to the water

The marina‑edge location, integrated facilities and master‑planned context combine to position AVÉA as a key residential component within Gurney Green.
