Resort Description

Luxury resort and spa overlooking the South China Sea

A true haven of tranquillity, Tanjong Jara Resort offers an experience inspired by the grace and heritage of a 17th-century Malay palace. Nestled between lush tropical jungle and a golden beach along the South China Sea, it’s a serene retreat where relaxation meets authentic local culture. Guests can savour fresh seafood brought in by local fishermen, join engaging cookery classes, or embark on memorable excursions.

Surrounded by nature, Tanjong Jara Resort invites you to unwind in elegant rooms and suites with views of the sea or landscaped gardens, some featuring verandas or secluded outdoor baths.

Upon arrival, enjoy a refreshing glass of hibiscus-flavoured Roselle, the signature welcome of the resort. Wander through tropical gardens, sample the traditional steamboat dishes of fish, meat, and vegetables simmered in aromatic broth, or explore the surroundings, from jungle treks and coral reef dives around Pulau Tenggol to cycling visits through nearby villages to meet local batik and bamboo artisans.
