Feringghi Villas is a deluxe collection of 2.5-storey villas located slightly beyond the tourist crowd of Batu Feringghi and further on towards Teluk Bahang. The gated freehold development, completed in 2007, is a walking distance from the beach. It consists of several different 4-bedroom and 3-bathroom sea view villa designs, each with generous plot sizes of 3,000 sf onwards. Dwellers can be assured of safety as Feringghi Villas is guarded by a 24-hour security system. Of course, the tropical resort-like development also would not be complete without a clubhouse, which offers facilities like a swimming pool, wading pool, tennis court, gym room and jogging paths. Landscaped gardens cover quite an extensive area of the development, adding to its tranquil atmosphere. The Feringghi Villas development is only accessible via the winding coastal road leading from George Town and other towns like Tanjung Bungah and Tanjung Tokong, Jalan Batu Feringghi, or from the other side of the island, Balik Pulau through Jalan Teluk Bahang. Thus, traffic can be slow-moving during the evening peak hours as well as on weekends and public holidays. On the other hand, the immense popularity of the Batu Feringghi area points to the abundance of hotels, shops, tourist destinations and eateries here. This possibly indicates good rental rates as vacation homes, which also means that the Feringghi Villas can be considered for investment purposes. For families who are living here long-term, a private international school, Uplands School, is located just 2km from the property.
