Set on Malaysia’s east coast in Dungun, Terengganu, Tanjong Jara Resort pairs architecture inspired by 17th century Malay palaces with a calm crescent beach. The stay follows the Sucimurni philosophy of purity of spirit, health and well being.
Days balance culture and nature. Begin with Sucimurni Exercise or the Jara Hill Walk. Unwind at Spa Village or by the swimming pools. Dine at Di Atas Sungei with guidance from the Menu Masters. The on site turtle hatchery highlights the resort’s conservation work.
WHY WE LIKE IT
Wellness and culture are built into the day. Start with Sucimurni exercise or the Jara Hill Walk, spend a quiet afternoon by the pools or on the beach, and finish with Malaysian cuisine at Di Atas Sungei guided by Menu Masters or with relaxed dining at Teratai Terrace and Nelayan. Heritage architecture, Spa Village treatments, and the on-site turtle hatchery keep the experience calm, local, and purposeful.
