Maldives Residences is a freehold condominium development in Bayan Lepas, Penang, located along Jalan Sungai Tiram 6 within the Ideal City township. The project is developed by Ideal Property Group and designed with a resort-inspired concept featuring extensive lifestyle facilities and tropical landscaping.

The development comprises four high-rise residential towers offering approximately 850–930 sqft units, including standard 3-bedroom layouts and dual-key configurations that are suitable for both homeowners and investors.

One of the key advantages of Maldives Residences is its strategic location near the Bayan Lepas industrial zone and Penang International Airport, making it attractive for professionals working in the southern part of Penang Island.

Miko’s Observation of Maldives Residences Bayan Lepas

During my visit to the Maldives Residences site and the surrounding Sungai Tiram / Bayan Lepas area, one thing that stood out is how quickly this part of Penang has been developing in recent years.

The neighbourhood is surrounded by several residential projects such as Tree Sparina, Summerskye Residences and Havana Beach Residences, forming a growing residential community.

Compared with older parts of Bayan Baru, this area feels newer and more spacious, with many developments designed with modern facilities and lifestyle concepts. For buyers looking for a newer condominium with resort-style facilities at a relatively affordable entry price, Maldives Residences is one of the options often considered.

Living Space & Unit Layouts

Maldives Residences focuses on practical layouts suitable for modern urban living.

Typical unit sizes range from approximately 850 sq ft to around 930 sq ft, with layouts designed for functionality and efficient use of space.

Common configurations include:

3-Bedroom Units
Suitable for small families, couples planning to start a family, or first-time homebuyers.

Dual-Key Units
Dual-key layouts allow the unit to be divided into two separate living spaces. This design is particularly appealing for investors or homeowners who want the flexibility to rent out part of the property.

Because of this flexibility, the development appeals to both owner-occupiers and rental investors targeting working professionals in the surrounding industrial area.
