Nestled within the lush surroundings of Taman Melawati and set against the striking quartz ridges of Bukit Tabur, Yanu Hills presents an exclusive collection of just 10 freehold luxury bungalows.

Here, waking up to sweeping green vistas feels effortless and where modern design meets tranquillity, inviting you to slow down, breathe, and embrace a life of quiet indulgence.

“Luxury today is not about opulence or excess—it’s about sustainability, convenience, and above all, time. Time is the true luxury, and Yanu Hills is designed to give residents more of it: through thoughtful design, seamless connectivity, and spaces that foster meaningful moments with loved ones. That is what Yanu Hills is truly about, luxury that grows in value and in life alongside its residents,” said Chan Jin-Wy, Chief Executive Officer of Bon Estates.

“Yanu,” meaning “intelligence” or “gifted,” reflects the project’s aim for residents seeking a lifestyle upgrade and personal achievement, says Chan. Yanu Hills also draws inspiration from the developer’s name, “Bon,” which in Tibetan represents the five elements—earth, wood, metal, water, and fire, symbolising harmony and balance.

Aura, Brillia and Calia
With a gross development value (GDV) of RM60 million, the collection spans three bespoke layouts—Aura (eight units), Brillia (one unit) and Calia (one unit), each thoughtfully designed to follow the land’s natural contours. Offering expansive built-ups from 6,800 to 8,000 sq ft and priced from RM6 million, every residence is crafted as a private sanctuary.

Aura and Brillia are designed as 4-storey homes, Aura with two levels above ground and Brillia with three while Calia is a 2-storey residence. Each unit offers 5+1 bedrooms and 6+2 bathrooms.

Except for Calia, the 4-storey homes are equipped with a private lift. All homes feature a master-bedroom floor with a balcony, as well as a courtyard and private swimming pool.

Modern Tropical Living, the Bon Estates Way

Chan explained that the design draws from Brazilian modern tropical architecture—a style that feels naturally suited to Malaysia’s climate. “We took inspiration from tropical rainforests, blending natural textures with premium materials. The idea is to embrace nature rather than resist it,” he shared.

This philosophy is reflected throughout the villas. A column-free living room flows into airy double-height spaces, while an entire floor is dedicated to the master suite, complete with a private balcony. Expansive indoor-outdoor areas, layered courtyards, and sweeping balconies enhance openness, balancing contemporary design with timeless elegance.

“We didn’t want to build homes that look like boxes,” Chan said. “The villas are layered into the hillside. Instead of fighting the terrain, we worked with it—giving residents better views, abundant natural light, and better airflow.

”Each bungalow is designed for modern multigenerational living, combining luxury with future-ready features such as private swimming pools, solar-ready infrastructure, EV charging points, rainwater harvesting systems, and private lifts—ensuring comfort, convenience, and sustainability for generations to come.

“Central courtyards serve as the heart of the home, offering sheltered spaces for family gatherings and barbecues. The bedroom on Lower Ground 2 is also known as the junior master bedroom. A space that one can enjoy for entertainment, or wellness usage (as a gym ) or religious purposes (as a surau) due to its facing and direction. It’s a home designed not just for space, but for comfort and privacy,” Chan explained.

Personalisation is intentionally kept minimal, limited mostly to floor finishes, in line with Bon Estates’ sustainable ethos. “We don’t want to install something only for it to be hacked later,” Chan added.

An Exclusive Address in Melawati
Location was key in choosing Taman Melawati. Just minutes from the city, it offers the rare combination of connectivity and tranquility. Mature neighbourhoods, established schools, retail hubs, and easy access to hiking trails make it a coveted enclave for families looking to upgrade without compromising their roots.

Chan explained that new landed homes in this area are a rarity, especially freehold bungalows of this calibre. “Sub-sale units often require costly renovations. With Yanu Hills, buyers get a modern, thoughtfully built home that’s ready to last for generations.”

A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Bon Estates previously developed semi-detached and terrace homes in the early 2010s in Penang, all of which sold out within two days of launch. In recent years, the company has focused on high-rise projects, including The Estate in Bangsar South (completed in 2021), which was its first high-rise residential project in the Klang Valley and Bon Kiara, slated for completion by the end of 2026. Yanu Hills marks Bon Estates’ first foray into landed luxury in Melawati.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in high-rise luxury developments, Chan explained that Yanu Hills would highlight meticulous craftsmanship, bespoke designs, and the same unwavering attention to detail that has become the hallmark of Bon Estates’ approach to luxury living. The development is on track for completion by early 2028, according to Chan. Since opening for previews in June, the development has attracted strong interest, particularly from local buyers who are familiar with the area.

Nurturing Community in Every Corner of Yanu Hills
Beyond the residences themselves, Bon Estates aims to nurture a close-knit, wellness-focused community at Yanu Hills. Thoughtfully designed walking paths, green spaces, and a tranquil enclave setting encourage social interaction and healthy living, all while keeping retail, schools, and city conveniences within easy reach.

Looking ahead, Chan is confident that Yanu Hills will set a new standard for luxury living in Malaysia—not by emulating global enclaves like The Peak in Hong Kong or Dempsey Hill in Singapore, but by establishing its own distinct identity.

Experience a home where every detail is designed for generations, and every moment is shaped by comfort, connection, and lasting value. Be among the privileged few.
