Welcome to Casarina in Desa Pandan, Kuala Lumpur! After over two decades living and traveling abroad, I’m excited to share my home with guests seeking halal experience—your home away from home. Casarina is a private home filled with personal effects and memorabilia, offering a peaceful retreat away from the maddening crowd yet just a stone's throw from the city's attractions. For discerning Muslim travelers, it provides authentic halal accommodation—ensuring peace of mind throughout your stay.
Casarina is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on the top floor of G Residence condominium. With one king bed and one queen American bed, it comfortably accommodates four guests, plus 2-4 additional guests using a sofa bed, chaise lounge, and Thai floor mattress.
Located in a predominantly Muslim area, nestled between embassies and charming old-money bungalows, benefiting from the halo effects of the affluent neighbourhood. The apartment features breathtaking views of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline, including KLCC, TRX, Merdeka 118, and KL Tower, reminiscent of the Manhattan skyline from Rockefeller Tower of Central Park but in this instance overlooking the lush greenery of the oldest golf course surrounded by skyscrapers.
Bathed in natural light, every room boasts stunning views. The fully equipped halal kitchen and dedicated workspace with a collection of cookbooks and Islamic literature enhance your stay.
The apartment is fully air-conditioned but best enjoyed with the balcony doors open for a refreshing breeze. Relax in the master bedroom’s bathtub for a soothing soak or use the provided exercise mat for yoga and pilates, all while enjoying the beautiful view.
This retreat is perfect for couples, families, friends, business travelers, digital nomads, or solo travellers seeking comfort and tranquility.

Other things to note
Towels: Fresh towels will be provided for your convenience during your stay.
Toiletries: Basic toiletries will also be available for your use.
No Shoes Policy: We maintain a no shoes policy within the apartment. Shoe cabinets and racks are provided outside the apartment in the foyer for your convenience.
Condo Rules: There are specific rules pertaining to shared amenities, which we will share separately upon confirmation. While the swimming pool and gym are shared spaces, modest wear is permitted, including burkinis in the pool and comfortable attire for the gym.
Tip for the Pool: There is no segregation between men and women at the pool but for privacy and a quieter experience, consider swimming early in the morning when the pool opens at 6:00 AM. The water is nice and warm, and there are usually hardly or very few swimmers at that time. The pool also closes late at 10.00 pm which is also a good time to swim. Please note that children must be supervised by adults at the pool at all times.
Tip for the Gym: Although early mornings may see more traffic of users, the gym tends to quiet down after 10:00 AM.
Accessibility: We welcome children and special needs guests including elderly. We have experience in care giving and please do not hesitate should you have any questions on your special needs. There are also nearby hospitals that we can recommend. The apartment and the condo building are wheelchair-friendly, with ramps allowing access to the pool area and gym. Bedroom two and the sofa bed is particularly suitable for wheelchair-bound guests, as the bed is lower for easier transfer. If you or anyone in your party has special needs, please reach out to us and let us know your requirements. We can also provide stools for anyone who may need to sit during showers.
Dry bathroom - our standard os tp keep the bathroom floors dry except in the shower areas. This is to keep it safe and not slippery as well as maintain cleanliness.
Prayer Facilities: Prayer mats and a qibla sign will be provided, along with women's prayer garments. Multiple Qurans are available in the apartment. The spacious living room and study/library area are perfect for Jemaah prayers with family, allowing you to face the stunning city skyline. Additionally, there are mosques nearby for your convenience.

Transportation: Conveniently located in front of G Village is a bus stop that allows easy access to the TRX MRT station, where you can connect to various destinations in the city
Guidebook: We will be sharing more information in our guidebook to help you make the most of your stay!
Footwear: We recommend packing flip-flops or sandals for the pool. Given Malaysia's warm climate, they are easy to slip on for a quick grocery run or a quick bite. However, not to worry if you forget to pack them because the grocery store downstairs sells them.
Location - Casarina is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, offering unparalleled proximity to all major attractions. While our photos aim to capture the stunning views, they cannot do justice to the breathtaking nearness you’ll experience in person. The KLCC towers truly loom close, providing a stunning view of the city skyline right from your home. With the human eye's remarkable resolution, you'll truly appreciate the beauty and allure of the city like never before.
