A Weekend of Horses, Harmony, and Heart: Faizal Tahir’s Equestrian Retreat with Marriott Bonvoy
In a rare and refreshing departure from his usual spotlight, celebrated Malaysian artist Faizal Tahir invited fans to join him for a soulful escape in nature — not on stage, but in the serene company of horses.
Hosted by Putrajaya Marriott Hotel from 11 to 13 July 2025, “An Equestrian Journey with Faizal Tahir” was more than just an event. It was a moment — a Marriott Bonvoy Moment — where music met mindfulness, and connection went beyond the ordinary.
This sold-out experience was part of Marriott Bonvoy’s exclusive experiential platform that gives members access to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities with local icons, cultural activities, and immersive escapes.
Only three exclusive packages were released via a global bidding campaign on moments.marriottbonvoy.com, each allowing two lucky guests to join Faizal Tahir for a highly personalised weekend.
The retreat began with a check-in at Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, where guests were welcomed into the newly refurbished Deluxe Pool View Rooms.
Comfort was key, but so was intentional design — from thoughtfully curated welcome amenities to soft linens and views of calming waters, the mood was set for something special.

On Saturday morning, the real magic unfolded at MAEPS Rubinga Equestrian Center, nestled within the natural greenery of Serdang.
Here, Faizal welcomed guests not as fans, but as companions — inviting them into his personal sanctuary where horses have long served as a source of grounding and reflection.
Rather than just observe, guests were encouraged to participate: brushing the horses, feeding them, and experiencing the quiet strength of these majestic animals.
The connection was tangible. In a world of overstimulation and digital noise, this was the antithesis — raw, real, and restorative.
“I’ve always found peace through working with horses,” Faizal shared. “But this was the first time I’ve shared that side of myself in such a setting. It wasn’t just personal — it became a shared experience, and I think that’s what made it meaningful. Marriott Bonvoy Moments gave us the space to connect over something real.”
Following the equestrian activity, the guests joined Faizal for a relaxed brunch at Zest Lifestyle Restaurant, known for its vibrant interpretation of local Malaysian flavours.
The menu was crafted to highlight ingredients native to the region, but elevated with modern techniques — a reflection of the weekend’s spirit: familiar yet fresh, rooted yet refined.
Throughout the weekend, guests enjoyed unstructured downtime — a rare luxury in today’s hyper-scheduled world. Whether lounging by the pool or engaging in spontaneous conversations with Faizal himself, the emphasis was on presence, not programming. It was these small, unscripted moments that made the experience deeply personal.
This retreat also signals a new chapter for Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, which is actively expanding its role in creating lifestyle-driven experiences that go beyond the traditional hospitality model.
Through partnerships with cultural figures like Faizal Tahir, the hotel seeks to celebrate Malaysian talent while offering Bonvoy members and guests authentic ways to explore the country — not just through locations, but through shared passions.
The success of this exclusive equestrian retreat proves that there is a growing appetite for intimate, values-driven travel — experiences that are curated not just for luxury, but for connection, culture, and storytelling.
With more initiatives in the pipeline, Marriott Bonvoy Moments Malaysia is poised to continue bridging travel with emotion, bringing guests closer to what matters most: people, passion, and place.
