You know what they say, “when you really love something, you have to let it go.” It’s never easy moving on and letting something go but it doesn’t necessarily signal the end. Sometimes one must pass the baton to someone else who is just as or possibly even more qualified to take on the responsibilities.
Datin Seri Haflin Nazri Aziz has made the decision to put the famous and beloved Villa Danialla Beach Resort on the market. Buyers now have chance to get their hands on the resort but they must first go through Datin Seri Haflin as she’s not going to let it go that easily.
Datin Seri Haflin Nazri Aziz, who is also the Villa Danialla Beach Resort managing director said she was at first reluctant to give up on the villa as it was founded and built by her late mother, Datuk Siti Hamidah Hamat. According to Villa Danialla Beach Resort’s official website, the resort was inspired by Datuk Siti Hamidah’s deep love for her native state, culture, arts and family.
Datin Seri Haflin explained that the reason for her selling her late mother’s beloved resort was due to a lack of sufficient time to manage the operations of the resort, among other things. But wanting her mother’s legacy to carry on, the 39-year-old will be very careful in selecting the buyers.
“It’s not easy to let all this go and that’s why I’m really careful in finding buyers. I’m worried that my mother’s legacy (will be) erased if the sale is made carelessly,” she said. The managing director hopes to see the beach resort continue to operate for years to come when she’s no longer the owner.
Before saying goodbye, Datin Seri Haflin reminisced on old times where she saw her mother’s perseverance in developing the villa 15 years ago and how they both planted the big trees at the entrance to make the area more beautiful.
The Villa Danialla Beach Resort was built on 3.4 hectares of land with 79 rooms, two halls, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and is worth RM24 million. Strategically located in Kandis, Jalan Tok Bali by the famous beach in Kelantan which is one of the resort’s main attractions.
