TANJONG JARA BEACH RESORT

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm).

Opened on 1 March 1979 , Tanjong Jara Resort underwent extensive refurbishment and restoration under YTL Hotels & Properties' management. The deluxe beach resort now features 100 luxurious rooms, a spa and two swimming pools. It is one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is the perfect honeymoon destination.

The vision of an exclusive resort in Terengganu was based on the belief that the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia was fast developing as a significant destination for tourism. The challenge in the major refurbishment and renovation exercise was to preserve Tanjong Jara's 17th century traditional Malay architectural structures, which won the coveted Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The design of this Resort is derived from the elegantly crafted wooden palaces of Malay sultans from long ago and involved extensive research into traditional forms of craftsmanship, mainly from the East Coast of Malaysia.

The Malay culture and heritage are clearly present in every aspect of this Resort, from the way the rooms and suites are designed, the elaborate details in the woodwork, to the Gamelan music played every evening. Tanjong Jara Resort promises you an experience that is "Unmistakably Malay

Dining at Tanjong Jara Resort is at once scenic, informal and exquisite. Whether over the river or facing the sea, traditional Malay, authentic Chinese and international cuisine is served at its most innovative and exotic at the three food and beverage outlets.

Di Atas Sungei
"Di Atas Sungei" is Malay for "Above The River" so guests will find it easy to spot this restaurant which literally sits above a river that flows into the South China Sea.

Situated by the sea, a variety of local and Western light meals are served for lunch. The Resort's own fishermen bring in the catch of the day for dinner. When the weather permits, a delightful alfresco dining experience is featured on the beach amidst a bonfire, bamboo torches and the gentle sound of the waves.

Spa Village Tanjong Jara

The award-winning Spa Village Tanjong Jara is a complex of structures, gardens and pools, housing a state-of-the-art gym, and a therapy centre that features programmes for relaxation and stress relief. Based on Malay healing treatments, traditional Malay medicine and therapy is a national treasure house of Malay health disciplines that have been handed down from generation to generation.
