A Father's Day Affair at M Social Resort Penang

There’s something about Penang that encourages you to take your time — and at M Social Resort this coming Father’s Day, that sentiment is dialed up with a buffet brunch, a friendly poolside challenge, and space for moments that feel both thoughtful and easygoing.

On Sunday, June 15, the team at Beast & Butterflies — the hotel’s signature restaurant — is preparing a buffet that goes beyond just food. Yes, there will be seafood on ice, carving stations, wok-fired dishes, and desserts to linger over. But more than that, it’s a chance for families to gather in a setting that doesn’t rush, where lunch can spill into afternoon chats and laughter over second helpings.

Priced at RM108 per adult (with discounts for children and seniors), the buffet runs from 12PM to 3PM. Families coming in groups can take advantage of a "Buy 3, Dine 4" offer — a nice touch that matches the inclusive spirit of the occasion. Each father also receives a special keepsake to mark the day.

Adding a bit of playful energy to the afternoon is the hotel’s British Pool Competition, happening at Breezy Bites — M Social’s breezy, tropical-inspired bar by the pool. Open to 12 fathers dining at the buffet, the casual game starts at 2:30PM and promises lighthearted rivalry, with a two-night stay up for grabs and other surprises in store.

Whether you're cheering from the sidelines or sipping a cocktail in the sun, Breezy Bites makes for a laid-back scene. The pool’s open to guests too — so don’t be surprised if this “lunch plan” turns into a full day of unwinding.

For those thinking of turning the outing into a stay, the hotel is offering its Island Escape package: two nights for two guests, breakfast included, plus food vouchers and entrance tickets to the nearby Tropical Spice Garden. With rates starting from RM888++, it’s an easy excuse to take a little more time off with loved ones.

Set in Penang’s quieter Tanjung Bungah area, M Social Resort balances the energy of creative design with the calming rhythm of the coast. Whether you’re here for a special occasion or a spontaneous weekend escape, it’s a space that welcomes connection — with people, food, and place.

This Father’s Day celebration is just one more reason to drop by.
