Malaysia’s event and hospitality landscape has reached a new milestone with the official opening of Ukay Hills, a contemporary hillside estate located in Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang.
Launched on 24 December 2025, the estate was unveiled by Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Permaisuri Hajah Norashikin, Tengku Permaisuri Selangor, in a ceremony attended by partners, industry players, and invited guests, marking the arrival of a new premium destination for weddings, corporate functions, and lifestyle gatherings.
Designed as a fully integrated modern destination estate, Ukay Hills brings together event venues, lifestyle accommodation, and curated dining experiences within a single cohesive environment.
This concept reflects how the event industry has evolved in recent years, with organisers now seeking venues that offer more than just a hall — they want seamless guest journeys, privacy, architectural identity, and meaningful experiences all in one place.
A New Vision for Purposeful Event Hosting
According to Chee Yong Fatt, Director of Ukay Hills, the estate was developed with a clear vision to redefine how Malaysians experience weddings, celebrations, and corporate events.
“Ukay Hills was built with a clear intention: to give Malaysia a new kind of event estate — one that brings together inspiration from Pinterest-dream weddings to reality, hospitality and functionality in a way that feels contemporary and meaningful,”.
The estate is designed not only for weddings and private celebrations, but also for brand activations, corporate retreats, and premium lifestyle experiences. Its flexible layout allows each component of the estate to function independently or be combined into a full-scale multi-day event destination.
Integrated Hospitality With Seafood D’ Bendang
The launch also marked the opening of Restaurant Seafood D’ Bendang at Ukay Hills, an established culinary name that originated from Sekinchan. By bringing its heritage of seafood and local cuisine into Ukay Hills, the restaurant adds a strong culinary pillar to the estate’s hospitality offering.
Seafood D’ Bendang offers full-service dining, private VIP dining rooms, buffet arrangements, and catering services, all of which can be seamlessly integrated into weddings, corporate functions, and private events hosted at the estate.
This allows organisers to manage venue, accommodation, and dining within a single location — reducing logistical complexity while enhancing the overall guest experience.
A Purpose-Built Hillside Estate
Set against the lush greenery of Bukit Antarabangsa, Ukay Hills spans a thoughtfully planned estate that includes:
- 29 lifestyle suites
- A VIP Private Dining Room
- A full-service restaurant
- Three signature event spaces
The architecture draws inspiration from European-influenced design and modern glass structures, blended with the surrounding hillside nature to create a serene yet elegant setting. Whether it is a romantic wedding, a corporate offsite, or a brand showcase, the estate offers a visually striking backdrop that elevates any occasion.
Each space is designed to flow naturally from one to another — allowing guests to move easily between accommodation, dining, and event areas without leaving the estate.
Meeting the Demand for Experiential Venues
The opening of Ukay Hills comes at a time when Malaysia’s premium events and lifestyle tourism sectors are growing rapidly. Event planners and hosts are increasingly looking for venues that offer atmosphere, flexibility, and experiential hosting, rather than conventional banquet halls or hotels.
Ukay Hills aims to meet this demand by providing a purpose-built destination that blends hospitality, architecture, and nature into a single immersive environment.
Ray Cheng, Director of Ukay Hills, explained:
“At Ukay Hills, we put a lot of thought into creating an estate that feels coherent from the moment guests arrive. Our goal is to offer hosts and planners a venue that is beautiful, functional and easy to work with, while giving guests a sense of escape without leaving the city.”
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
The launch event gave guests a guided preview of the estate, showcasing the venues, suites, dining areas, and hillside views. The unveiling ceremony was complemented by curated dining moments prepared by the Seafood D’ Bendang team, highlighting how the estate brings together design, hospitality, and culinary excellence.
With its strategic location in Selangor and its all-in-one destination concept, Ukay Hills is positioned to become a new favourite for weddings, brand launches, corporate retreats, and private celebrations across Malaysia.
