Tanjong Jara Resort
A relaxing reboot for the body and mind
In a striking location on Malaysia’s east coast is a unique resort focused on wellbeing and relaxation.
Anchored in age-old Malay traditions, Tanjong Jara is a luxurious escape from city life. Glistening pools and a spa focused on restorative treatments provide peace and privacy whilst signature experiences allow you to explore your spellbinding east-coast location. Malay cuisine is offered in dreamy settings above the river, overlooking the South China Sea and on the tropical poolside terrace.

This is the perfect retreat to combine with a Kuala Lumpur holiday.

Tanjong Jara Resort has a PADI dive school offering a range of courses from introductory to advanced open water. Located within the Terengganu Marine Park, nearby Tenggol Island is a 45-minute speed boat ride away. It’s a popular location for diving and snorkelling due to its untouched coral gardens and a rich diversity of marine life.
In partnership with Lang Tengah Turtle Watch, the resort runs a seasonal turtle conservation programme that includes an on-site turtle hatchery, educational Visitor’s Hut and a turtle nest adoption initiative. Guests can visit the resort’s turtle hatchery and learn about the on-going conservation efforts of the team. On occasion, guests may be fortunate to witness the turtles laying their eggs on the beach or watch the hatchlings as they return to the sea.
A tourist tax is payable locally at the resort.
