Three Friends Open a Luxury Restaurant at Puteri Harbour

Puteri Harbour, Johor – The waterfront at Puteri Harbour continues to strengthen its position as a prime destination for lifestyle and hospitality ventures. Back in 2015, three close friends — Mr. Faslee Sam Putra and Mr. Khun Asrul from Singapore, together with their Malaysian partner, Mr. Allen Fernandez — invested RM2.5 million (approximately USD 900,000) to open a luxury boutique restaurant in Nusajaya.

Their vision was clear: to create an upscale dining experience that would match the elegance and potential of Puteri Harbour. The restaurant offered not only an exclusive boutique concept, but also a modern atmosphere designed around luxury and memorable guest experiences.

“With our combined experience in business and our belief in the potential of this area, we are confident that this restaurant will become a new landmark in Puteri Harbour,” the founders shared at the time.

A Destination for Growth

Stories like these highlight why Puteri Harbour has become such an attractive location for entrepreneurs, investors, and lifestyle brands. Over the past decade, the area has evolved into more than just a residential and tourism hub — it is now recognized as a rising destination for world-class dining, wellness, and leisure.

At Mar Raaka Ventures, we share the same belief in Puteri Harbour’s potential. Our projects — from fitness and wellness hubs to café concepts and lifestyle destinations — are inspired by this growing ecosystem of innovation and premium experiences. Just like these trailblazing entrepreneurs, we see Puteri Harbour not only as a business opportunity but as a canvas to redefine what lifestyle, F&B, and wellness can mean in Johor.
