How to go to Johor Premium Outlets.
From Kuala Lumpur via Plus North-South Highway:
Exit the interchange to Nusajaya/Pontian/Tanjung Pelepas/Tuas (Exit 253) in the direction to Singapore 2nd link.
Take the next exit to Senai Airport/Ulu Tiram (Route E 304)
After 600 meters from there, you will see the Johor Premium Outlets signboard on your left.
Alternatuvely, you can exit 252 (now with a small JPO signboard) Kulaijaya/Kota Tinggi (this exit comes before the exit 253 described before). Proceed to Kulaijaya from there, and go until you see the IOI Mall/Indahpura interchange. Proceed to Indahpura Jaya on your right and then go straight until you meet the second roundabout. Take the 9 O'clock turn and proceed straight until you see the Johor Premium Outlet. However, this route into Kulaijaya town is often congested and you are advised to take Exit 253 (as described before), which is faster and without traffic congestion.

GPS position/location map:
1º 36’31” N 103º 37’59” E or key in "Senai North Toll" in your search bar of your GPS or better, save this page on your smartphone and use it for reference. It is on your left if you drive along the highway toward Johor Bahru.

Although you can see it from the highway, but it takes about 8 kilometers from highway turning to reach there.
