There is a moment, standing at the edge of Andaman Island with the water stretching out before you, when the idea of living here stops feeling like a fantasy. Eastern & Oriental Berhad has spent years turning that feeling into a place people can actually call home. AVÉA, its latest marina-edge serviced residence at Gurney Green, Andaman Island, is the newest chapter in that story.
Launched on 11 June 2026 with a gross development value of RM1 billion, AVÉA is designed for those who want more than four walls and a postbox. It is a fully furnished, freehold address on the water, with views across Penang Island, a rooftop gym at Level 51, and a waterfront promenade at its feet.
One of the quiet frustrations of buying a new property is everything that comes after the signing. The sourcing, the fitting out, the waiting. AVÉA removes all of that. Every unit arrives fully furnished with premium fittings and finishes, ready for immediate occupancy from day one. Bring your bags. That is genuinely all you need to do.
Units range from 678 sq ft to 1,076 sq ft across five layouts: two one-plus-one bedroom configurations, two two-bedroom options, and a three-bedroom unit. Each is designed to draw in natural light and cross ventilation, with private balconies that frame the kind of views most people save for holidays. Car parks are pre-allocated, with two bays for Types A, B and C, and three for Type D.
The development sits on a five-acre freehold site with a commercial title, comprising 1,080 units across two towers of 540 units each. Tower A recorded a 65% take-up rate following its private preview in early 2026. Tower B is now open. Completion is targeted for June 2030.
AVÉA also holds the GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certification, reflecting E&O’s focus on energy efficiency, environmental performance and resident well being.
What sets AVÉA apart is not any single feature. It is the way everything connects. Step out of your lobby and you are on the waterfront promenade, where 10 commercial shop lots, cafes and communal spaces bring the energy of the street right to your door. Beyond that sits the future marina, the sea, and a view that does not get old.
Within the building, the facilities span nearly every dimension of daily life. Andaman’s largest podium at Level 5 covers a lap pool, spa pool, family pool, kids pool, herb garden, meditation garden and deck, pavilion, bio pond, maze garden, basketball court, jogging track and playground. At Level 51, the rooftop gym and outdoor fitness area offer open sea views that make every morning workout feel like a reward. AVÉA is a distinctly pet-friendly community.
Parking is generous and practical: 127 visitor bays, 20 with EV charging equipment, three OKU bays, 176 retail parking lots, 104 motorcycle bays and a bicycle garage with 104 bays.
AVÉA does not stand alone. It is the latest in a sequence of launches at Andaman that have each sold out. The Meg, E&O’s first launch at the island in 2022, achieved full take-up by the first quarter of 2023. Arica sold out by March 2024. Fera and Senna, the landed home series launched in January 2024, were fully sold within eight months. The Lume, the island’s first luxury high-rise, launched in July 2024. Maris, the first waterfront residence, followed in December 2024. Every single launch has found its buyers.
That consistency reflects something real: a confidence in Andaman as an address, and in E&O as the developer behind it.
When fully developed, Andaman will span 760 acres as an urban island just off the coast of Gurney Bay and Seri Tanjung Pinang. Retail, commercial and lifestyle components are already in progress, alongside a future marina and public spaces.
AVÉA is developed by Persada Mentari Sdn Bhd, a member of the Eastern & Oriental Berhad group, a Bursa Malaysia-listed developer whose heritage traces back to the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in George Town, established in 1885.
For those who have been watching Andaman take shape, AVÉA is worth a closer look. For those discovering it for the first time, it is a good place to start.
