Pulau Melaka is the island off the coast of Bandar Hilir in Malacca. Much of the island is created out of reclaimed land. Located some 0.5 km off the coast of Malacca, Pulau Melaka is about 40 hectares in size, and linked to the mainland by a 30-meter bridge.
The purpose of Pulau Melaka is entirely recreational. There will be 4,387 residential units built on the island, along with 4,180 units of mixed commercial development. The entire project is estimated to cost RM1.46 billion. There will be a marine theme park, a marina, a few hotels and a waterfront.
Presently, the main icon on Pulau Melaka is the Masjid Selat Melaka, or the Straits of Malacca Mosque.
