Following a 2-month refurbishment, the rejuvenation of the 99-room Tanjong Jara Resort is complete and re-opened on 16 January. Located in Terengganu, the sanctuary of tranquillity continues to proudly immerse itself in the age-old traditions of the east coast of Malaysia.
The glorious architecture that the Aga Khan Award-winning resort is known for, has been maintained, designed to reflect the grandeur of 17th century Malay palaces. General sprucing up of the rooms and common areas were also conducted to preserve the beauty of the environment and sustain the guest experience.
Offering accommodations inspired by the majestic 17th century Malay palaces, Tanjong Jara boasts 2 outdoor pools and an award-winning spa. It features 3 dining options with South China Sea views.
Luxurious rooms at the resort feature spacious layouts, with accommodations offering generous views of the grounds or the open sea.
Embracing the Malay concept of Sucimurni, which emphasises purity of spirit, health and well-being, cultural activities such as Kampong Sucimurni Lifestyle, a weekly showcase of a traditional Malay village atmosphere, guided bicycle tours through the idyllic countryside of Terengganu, and exploration of the great outdoors with the Jara Hill walk guided by the Resident Naturalist, round up the wholesome experiences in store for guests.
Nature lovers and adventure seekers can look forward to snorkelling and diving expedition to Tenggol Island, one of Peninsular Malaysia's best-kept diving secrets, where spotting bright nudibranchs, black-tipped reef sharks and green sea turtles are common occurrences.
For those looking to indulge, the award-winning Spa Village Tanjong Jara offers unique restorative Malay treatments and beauty rituals offered here are perpetuated for guests' wellbeing. The Asam Roselle treatment, a signature of this Spa Village, is the ideal experience to complement a tropical getaway.
