Tanjong Jara Resort
The Tanjong Jara Resort is located on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, an undeveloped region characterised by sweeping beaches, turquoise seas and lush tropical rainforest. A traditional Malay design lends a distinctive local character, and a sustainable wildlife ethos combines for a distinctive retreat.
The architecture of Tanjong Jara Resort is inspired by the palaces of 17th Century Malaya, with 100 guest rooms housed in a collection of elegantly crafted wooden buildings. Or choose to stay in the House of Terrenganu, a secluded one bedroom villa with a private pool, a refined Asian design and plenty of space and privacy.
Tanjong Jara Resort’s dining options continue the traditional Malay design, with scenic locations and informal settings. Di As Sungei restaurant offers personalised Malay cuisine in a setting above the river, and Nelayan features fish and seafood dishes with sea views and a focus on sustainable practices. Save time for pampering at the opulent Spa Village, inspired by traditional Malay treatments passed down over generations in a natural and tranquil setting of gardens and ponds.
As well as time spent switching off on the long golden beaches, explore the natural wonders of this wild part of South East Asia. It’s a coastline with first class seasonal diving and snorkelling on nearby Tenggol Island, sleepy fishing villages and a lush interior. Not to forget the resort’s turtle hatchery, dedicated to preserving nesting sites and offering a chance to see baby sea turtles in nesting season.
