Experiencing the Magic of the Farm
The HL Dragon Fruit Eco Farm is famous for hosting the world’s largest dragon fruit-shaped structure—a giant, vibrant landmark that was awarded a Malaysia Book of Records entry. Inside this unique structure, visitors can explore a mini-museum with colorful murals detailing the history of the farm. Outside, the sprawling 1.2-hectare plantation cultivates up to four different varieties of dragon fruits. Guided tours offer a hands-on learning experience where kids can learn how to plant their own dragon fruit cactus, discover how the beautiful night-blooming flowers are pollinated, and even try their hand at harvesting ripe, juicy red dragon fruits straight from the vine. It is a fantastic, sensory-rich way to connect with nature and appreciate the farm-to-table process.
A Unique Halal Dining Adventure
After working up an appetite exploring the orchards, head over to the HL Restaurant & Cafe. This is Malaysia’s very first halal-certified (by JAKIM) dragon fruit-themed restaurant, making it an incredibly welcoming spot for Muslim families. The culinary team has creatively infused the signature fruit into traditional and modern dishes. You must try their famous Jumbo Dragon Bun, a soft, vibrant pink dragon fruit bread bowl generously stuffed with aromatic, local Sepang chicken curry. Other highly recommended menu items include the Dragon Fruit Nasi Lemak, savory dragon fruit enzyme chicken, and the “Dragon Breath” smoothies—a refreshing, dramatic beverage served with a cool dry ice effect that children absolutely love.
Getting There and Visitor Tips
Getting to the eco-farm from your accommodation is incredibly straightforward. It is located about 27 kilometers from Sunsuria City, making it a scenic 30-minute drive. You can easily hail a Grab car or drive yourself down the main roads of Sepang. The farm is open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, but keep in mind that they are closed on Wednesdays. Since much of the farm tour is outdoors, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes, bringing sun hats, and applying sunscreen to keep the little ones protected under the afternoon sun.
After an exciting afternoon of harvesting and dining, return to the comfort of Bell Suites for a restful evening. Designed with the needs of modern travelers in mind, our Muslim-friendly hotel Sepang offers the perfect environment for a relaxing halal-friendly stay. Wind down by taking a refreshing dip in our signature infinity pool or enjoying quality family time in your spacious, fully equipped suite.
