Buckle up for a whimsical getaway just a short hop from Singapore this June 2026. Picture this: trading hectic city buzz for relaxation at a man-made beach playground where two Boeing 747 planes are grounded in sky high fashion at Johor Bahru’s new 1975 Avenue & Hotel. This aviation-themed escape, just 20 minutes from the border, promises time travel vibes with retro 70s cockpit suites, lagoon pools hidden among resort gardens, and delicious delights from on-site restaurants at the 14.9 acres resort. In fact, it’s Johor’s first airplane hotel ever. Here’s why 1975 Avenue & Hotel is a must-do staycation in Johor Bahru this year.
Why is the first plane hotel in Johor a must-visit?
The luxurious 38-room hotel, developed by Tiong Nam Group, reimagines retired aircraft into elegant cabins, alongside 18 suites within the two aircrafts, complete with vintage grandeur interiors for that first-class fantasy staycation.
Spanning more than 19,000 sqm in an integrated township, it weaves retail, dining, and entertainment into a quirky lifestyle hub designed for business travellers, leisure seekers, and event planners.
Guests can expect Japanese-style breakfasts, blissful pool days, a soothing spa, gym, family-friendly activities, and authentic experiences with seamless connectivity to major highways. Certainly, it’s the ultimate pit spot for couples craving romance or families chasing weekend fun across the border.
Although, the opening date of the airplane hotel in June 2026 or booking prices have yet to be released.
