Set in a former rubber plantation only 3 minutes’ drive along the coast from Bayview Beach Resort Penang, the award-winning Tropical Spice Garden spreads over 8 acres of jungle. It’s a showcase for rare flora and fauna, including more than 500 plant species from around the world.
You can join a garden tour or sample seasonal cuisine at a café with elevated Straits of Malacca views. Professional cooking classes give you the opportunity to create your own Malay, Indian and Peranakan Chinese dishes, using spices grown onsite. If you find yourself inspired, you can visit the gift shop to stock up on ingredients to take home.
