Golden sand, brilliant sunshine, clear blue sea and sky, Malay hospitality and award-winning architecture have been carefully brought together to create Tanjong Jara Resort.
Accommodation is in spacious Bumbung and Serambi double-storey units or semi-detached Anjung rooms, which nestle in lush tropical gardens and overlook the South China Sea. The view from each room is stunning, be it magnificent sea views or tranquil gardens. Bumbung Rooms are situated on the first floor, while Serambi Rooms boast serene, shady terraces that lead onto the tropical gardens. Anjung Rooms are the most luxurious, offering seaviews, a king-size bed and a beautiful sunken outdoor bath within a private courtyard.
Dining at Tanjong Jara is an experience in itself; scenic, informal and exquisite all at once. Meals are enjoyed with sea or river views and comprise classic, innovative and exotic local and international cuisine.
The resort’s award-laden spa is a former winner of Number One Spa in Asia as voted by Condé Nast Traveler, providing the ultimate treat for the senses. Traditional Malay therapies have been expertly designed to revive and rejuvenate while in the hands of award-winning therapists.
Two idyllically situated pools, a fully equipped gym, two tennis courts, Jara Hill walks or jungle treks and two golf courses nearby as well as numerous water activities provide plentiful entertainment. Riverboat cruises and bicycle tours led by local naturalists can also be enjoyed. Snorkelling and scuba diving at Tenggol Island, one of the world’s best kept dive secrets, are available from March to October. Guests can also visit the night market in Dungun, an alfresco fair trading numerous wares including Malay delicacies, souvenirs, arts and crafts.
It is not difficult to see why this stunning resort is a member of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
