Tanjong Jara Resort, East Coast Malaysia, Malaysia, Asia
Tanjong Jara Resort
Peace, solitude and oodles of charm sum up the beautiful Tanjong Jara Resort, located on the unspoilt East Coast of the Malay Peninsula. Fronted by the sparking emerald waters of the South China Sea and shaded by the soaring palms which rustle gently in the breeze, this beautiful resort has long been a favourite with Turquoise. For us it encapsulates all you would anticipate a beautiful Malay resort to be. Think of it as a natural sanctuary designed around the intricate grandeur and elegance of the long-ago palaces, where the staff, chosen from local villages, display a genuine warmth and that irrepressible and uncontrived gentle Asian charm.
Highlights
Sleep
Bumbung and Serambi Rooms are on the ground or first floor and beautifully appointed with cool linens and warm local wood. If you prefer to be close to the beach then we recommend the Anjung Rooms: they come with fabulous outdoor bathrooms and a canopied veranda overlooking the tropical gardens or the Anjung Seafront Rooms which are directly behind the beach.
