Where Is TheLume at Andaman?
TheLume at Andaman occupies a prime waterfront position on Andaman Island, the centrepiece of Eastern & Oriental Berhad's 240-acre Seri Tanjung Pinang masterplan in Tanjung Tokong. The development sits on the northern coastline of Penang Island, directly facing the Andaman Sea and the Straits of Malacca — a setting that delivers unobstructed sea views, cooling sea breezes, and a resort-like living environment within a fully urbanised township.
Unlike isolated resort developments, TheLume's location within the Seri Tanjung Pinang masterplan means residents have immediate access to retail, dining, education, healthcare, and recreation — all without leaving the precinct. Straits Quay, the precinct's waterfront retail and marina hub, is within walking distance.

The Seri Tanjung Pinang Masterplan
TheLume sits within Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP), Eastern & Oriental Berhad's flagship 240-acre waterfront development — one of the largest masterplanned communities in northern Malaysia. STP transforms a reclaimed coastal stretch of Tanjung Tokong into a self-contained township with residential, retail, commercial, and recreational components.
The first phase of STP introduced Straits Quay, a waterfront retail marina that has become a landmark destination in Penang. Phase 2 — where TheLume is located — expands the masterplan with additional residential towers, parks, and community facilities. The 1.2 km waterfront promenade connects the entire precinct, offering jogging, cycling, and leisure paths with unobstructed sea views.
E&O's track record with STP Phase 1 — consistently maintained common areas, responsive estate management, and strong property values — provides confidence that Phase 2 will deliver the same standard. For a deeper exploration of the neighbourhood, read our Andaman Penang Living Guide.
Road Connectivity & Transport
Andaman Island sits along Jalan Tanjung Tokong, one of Penang Island's primary north-south arterial roads. This provides direct connections southward to George Town and the expressway network, and northward to Batu Ferringhi and the national park.
The Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway — accessible within 15 minutes — connects to the Penang Bridge (25 minutes) and Second Penang Bridge (30 minutes), linking residents to the mainland, Butterworth, and the North-South Expressway to Kuala Lumpur.
Penang International Airport (35 minutes) offers direct flights to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, Jakarta, and seasonal routes to regional destinations. The airport's ongoing expansion will add capacity and new international routes by 2027.
Schools & Healthcare Nearby
Families at TheLume benefit from proximity to some of Penang's best educational institutions. Dalat International School (American curriculum, K–12) is just 5 minutes away on its hilltop campus. Straits International School (British curriculum) operates within the Seri Tanjung Pinang township, 10 minutes by car.
Healthcare access is equally strong. Gleneagles Penang (JCI-accredited, 15 minutes) and Island Hospital (northern Malaysia's largest private hospital, 12 minutes) both offer comprehensive specialist services, 24-hour emergency departments, and international patient centres. Day-to-day medical needs are served by GP clinics and pharmacies in the Tanjung Tokong commercial strip, within a 5-minute drive.

Straits Quay — Within Walking Distance

Weekend markets, live music, and cultural events at Straits Quay create a vibrant community atmosphere. The marina promenade is a favourite gathering spot for families and joggers, particularly at sunset when the views across the Straits of Malacca are at their most spectacular.
