Award-winning Singapore-based developer Selo Group has announced its introduction into the Malaysian real estate and hospitality market with Samãja Selo Private Residences.  Located at the southern end of Tioman Island in Peninsular Malaysia, the property offers the ultimate island getaway with a limited collection of  beach front or hilltop private residential villas available with private air transfers from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur ready to whisk owners to the resort in under an hour.

“We are thrilled to bring our exceptional style of hospitality to Malaysia, which now ranks among the top five preferred countries for Asian real estate investors,” said Andrew Corkery, CEO of Selo. “We have prioritized a luxurious living experience that enhances a true connection to the destination and instills a sense of belonging in a private vacation community with a focus on owner’s modern lifestyle choices that matter more than ever to our residents. Samãja Selo is a private lifestyle community curated for likeminded people who share common goals, interests, and experiences in proactively pursuing wellness. We are excited that residents will soon have the opportunity to unwind in one of Asia’s most unique beachfront island destinations.”

Samãja Selo Private Residences is a joint venture in partnership with Impiana Hotels Berhad (“Impiana”), one of the leading hospitality companies in Southeast Asia. Impiana Group has emerged as a major regional player and have since created a collection of some of the finest business hotels, resorts, private villas and spas across Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia for the last 2 decades.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Selo on this very exclusive development and look forward to embarking on this project to develop one of our idle strategic land banks into this valuable gem of a resort, in the midst of this adversity we are now experiencing. We trust this partnership forged with Selo would bring out the best in the property and make it a popular holiday destination of choice in time to come. Impiana will also be sharing our resort management experience, hence this property shall be managed by Impiana Hotels & Resorts Management Sdn Bhd, the hospitality operating arm of the Impiana Group," according to Impiana's Executive Chairman, Dato Seri’ Ismail @Farouk Abdullah.

Selo and Impiana will combine their expertise to collaborate on all aspects of the development from the design and operational aspects to the management of the property.
