Heineken Refresh 2025 concert guide: Getting to Resorts World Awana in Genting Highlands
There are several ways to make your way to Resorts World Awana for Heineken Refresh 2025, whether you’re cruising in your own ride or hopping on the bus—and we’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to.
Driving? That’s your fastest route. The venue is just around 46km from the Kuala Lumpur city centre, and if traffic plays nice, you’ll be there in under an hour. Ample parking is available at Resorts World Awana itself, as well as throughout Resorts World Genting.
But if you’re planning to party hard then skip the keys. Taxis and e-hailing options like Grab are readily available at the venue. Even better—Heineken Malaysia is giving concertgoers RM20 off their Grab fare with the promo code ‘HNKREFRESH’.
And if you’re taking the bus? Smart move if you’re going the budget-friendly route. Buses run frequently from KL Sentral—typically every other hour—and will drop you at the Awana Bus Terminal, which is just about 1km from the concert grounds. Tickets start at just RM10 and can be purchased online or directly at the KL Sentral counter.
Book your bus ticket here and thank yourself later.
