Recently in Johor Bahru, a new destination has been buzzing across social media — SBS Permas Resort. Located in the Permas / Masai area of Plentong, this lifestyle and leisure complex has already opened its Phase 1 to the public, even though development is still ongoing. The early opening has sparked excitement among locals eager to experience this fresh new hangout spot.
Blending food & beverages, night market vibes, outdoor leisure, and Instagram-worthy photo spots, SBS Permas Resort is quickly becoming a popular “city escape” — perfect for friends’ gatherings, romantic dates, and family outings.

SBS Permas Resort features a forest-themed natural design, with extensive use of wooden structures, lush greenery, and warm ambient lighting to create a calming and inviting outdoor environment.
At night, when the lights come on, the entire area transforms into a dreamy forest hideaway — offering visitors a momentary escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s especially enchanting after sunset, making it a favorite time for evening strolls and photo-taking.


Beyond its scenic design, SBS Permas Resort also stands out for its growing food and beverage offerings. Several restaurants and cafés are already in soft opening phase, including the much-talked-about Western-style restaurant, The Forest Cafe.
True to its name, The Forest Cafe blends seamlessly with the resort’s nature-inspired concept. Surrounded by greenery and wooden décor, it offers a cozy and atmospheric dining experience — ideal for couples, friends’ gatherings, or anyone who enjoys a slow, relaxing meal in a beautiful setting.
In addition to themed restaurants like The Forest Cafe, the resort also features a mix of coffee stalls, dessert vendors, grilled seafood, and night market-style food stalls. Visitors can either sit down for a proper meal or casually walk around, snack, and snap photos along the way — making it easy to explore at your own pace.


Late afternoon to evening is the best time to experience SBS Permas Resort. As night falls, the lights turn on, the food stalls become lively, and the entire resort fills with a warm and romantic vibe.
The resort is also family-friendly, with simple kid-friendly attractions such as a remote-control boat pool and light entertainment areas, making it suitable for visitors of all ages.
Overall, SBS Permas Resort is a promising new destination that combines food, night market culture, casual leisure, photo spots, and family entertainment. While the development is still ongoing, the atmosphere, design, and growing variety of dining options already make it worth a visit.
With free entry, a forest-inspired environment, beautiful night lighting, and diverse food choices, SBS Permas Resort is quickly shaping up to be one of Johor Bahru’s most exciting new night-time hangout spots. Once fully completed, it has strong potential to become a major lifestyle hotspot for both locals and tourists.
