Tanjong Jara Resort

Dream

The architecture of Tanjong Jara Resort was inspired by 17th Century Malay palaces. Finished in local timber and rich fabrics, each room commands a view of the South China Sea or the resort’s tropical landscaped gardens.

The Bumbung Rooms and Serambi Rooms both offer views of the tropical gardens, although they they can be upgraded to rooms that offer idyllic ocean views. The Anjung Rooms have extra space, in luxurious semi-detached cottages, all facing the beach.

Eat

Honouring the best ingredients on its doorstep, coastal cuisine is one of the highlights, and with a selection of charming settings, meals here are relaxed, enjoyable experiences.

Di Atas Sungei is Malay for 'Above the River' so unsurprisingly this restaurant sits above a river that flows into the South China Sea. With no menu, guests are guided by the resort's Menu Masters, experts in local cuisine, who provide a distinctive dining experience using only the freshest produce. Nelayan offers a variety of Asian and Western dishes for lunch while dinner features a unique symphony of seafood themed dishes. Teratai Terrace serves BBQs for lunch, cocktails in the evenings and offers private dining experiences.

Play

The resort has two swimming pools set amongst landscaped gardens, two tennis courts and bicycles for hire. The adventurous can embark on exhilarating hikes to Chemerung Waterfall, go diving to Tenggol Island, or try their hand at cooking a Malay meal with a cooking class.

The resort also has a selection of beach games including volleyball, sepak takraw and pentanque.

Unwind

The Spa Village is a retreat that draws on the healing cultures and rituals that are amongst the oldest in the world. The abundance of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Thai practices makes this the ideal setting for complete rejuvenation. The Spa Village comprises a number of specially built structures designed to facilitate an extensive range of treatments.
