A'Famosa Resort. The name conjures up images of a bygone era, when the burstling port city of Malacca was not only the commercial hub of Asia but an exotic melting pot of cultures, ideasand architecture as well. The A'Famosa is in fact named after the famous 16th century Purtugese monument, which is all that remains today of the Portugese fort which once formed an imposing circle of stone around the entire city. The logo of the resort also incorporates a stylized sihoulette of the gateway in the background. That romantic era may be long gone but it can be relived at 'Famosa Resort, rated by many as the region's foremost leisure and holiday resort. Situated on a 1300-acre site in Alor Gajah, surrounded by rolling hills and a lush contryside, A'Famosa is a dream gateway which will entice your senses, calm your nerves and leave you totally refreshed and rejuvenated.
