Company information

Aayu, which means 'life', reflects our focus on enhancing the quality and experience of living. The Aayu brand has been inspired by a singular, authentic, and original intent to create spaces that are minimal and calming to the souls yet bring resonance to the rich cultural past. Aayu properties are created holistically through a blend of natural-inspired elements and contemporary design into rich colourful heritage homes, prodding a clear definition between the old and new, and how both elements could come together to enliven one another. The Aayu brand aims to provide guests with a warm sense of heritage homes. Aayu is also featured in Robb Report Malaysia and Conde Nast Traveller.

Guests are able to self check in and check out online.
