The Tanjong Jara Resort is designed to reflect the grandeur of 17th-century Malay palaces and is located on the East Coast Peninsular of Malaysia. The whole resort focuses on the Malay philosophy of Sucimurini which establishes the principles of well-being, both in the body and mind, as the basis behind the resort's gentle and welcoming services.

Tanjong Jara itself is an ideal retreat for those wishing to escape city life and its stresses, as this stretch of the Malaysia Peninsula remains largely unspoilt by development. Guests can enjoy views of the South China Sea while strolling along the sandy beach that borders the resort, or visit the nearby village of Dungun which is praised for its morning fish markets. Further afield, but still within reach, is Ceremong Waterfall or the superb snorkeling location of Tenggol Island.

The facilities

Facilities here are plentiful as reflects the resort's four star status. Tanjong Jara's principle aim is relaxation hence professional massages, two outdoor pools and a secluded stretch of private beach await all guests.

The hotel also provides 24 hour front desk service, barber/beauty shop, Fitness Centre, shopping on site and tennis courts.
