Tanjong Jara Resort
A gorgeous hotel on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Tanjong Jara boasts beautiful seaside villas and is as family-friendly as it is eco-friendly.
The Tanjong Jara Resort makes the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia worthy of a visit all by itself. Located beachside, with sweeping views across the South China Sea, this fabulous and very family-friendly resort was once hailed a wonder of the world by Conde Nast Traveller and, since receiving a serious amount of investment that allowed a recent refurb, that statement is truer than ever before. Villas pepper the coastline of this resort, the swimming pools beckon a welcoming respite from the Asian sunshine and Chef Ann, a bit of a Tanjong Jara celebrity, will thrill both you and your children. A larger-than-life character, Chef Ann will take your whole family into the local food markets before teaching you the tricks behind delicious, and absolutely authentic classics, such as Beef Rendang and Laksa.
For You -
The lapping shoreline of the South China Sea right outside your bedroom window will, quite literally, lull you into the deepest of sleep. The suites are stunningly landscaped, and boast everything from sunken baths to private dining, canopied verandahs and direct beach access (depending on which one you choose). The Spa Village is now better than ever (lots of gorgeous local Malay traditions and you’ll love the Batik sarong you get to take home with you). An early evening sundowner on the edge of the freeform pool in the Teratai Terrace is an ideal way to end the day, before enjoying the delectable feast that is supper at Nelayan restaurant.
For Them +
Jungle walks with the resident naturalist always thrill slightly older children, as do the Eco-adventure river cruises, bike tours and local painting and handicraft classes. The diving and snorkelling at the nearby, incredibly beautiful, island of Pulau Tenggol will never be forgotten, and as a family you’ll all adore a picnic and excursion to the nearby Chemerung Waterfall.
