Malaysia offers diverse, cosmopolitan cities as well as unspoiled tropical getaways. The Tanjong Jara Resort reflects both Malay tradition and culture.
The signature welcome drink at the Tanjong Jara Resort is roselle, which is derived from the petals of a herbal flower called asumpaya. This was the first taste of Malaysia’s refreshing hospitality. After the flight to the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur, it is a 45 minute flight into Terengganu’s small airport.

Malay, Chinese, Indian and Thai traditions, along with Ayurvedic techniques, are the focus of this Asian resort’s spa treatments.
From the corner of a drowsy eye, one can sight a hornbill, a peacock, even an occasional harmless Princess Tree snake or two as one’s warm, oiled body is massaged with pockets of soft rice heated in an herbal milk broth. A visitor who can instantly conjure this image has already enjoyed the Navarakizhi treatment at Spa Village, the four-acre indoor and alfresco sanctuary to the healing arts located on the private island of Pangkor Laut, three miles off the western coast of Malaysia.
Spa Village is part of the 300-acre island’s only habitable area, Pangkor Laut Resort, which is otherwise entirely surrounded by one of the world’s last remaining unspoiled rainforests and, farther out, by the Straits of Malacca. Lumut, the mainland city across from Pangkor Laut, offers regular ferry rides to the island. Visitors can berth either at the Lumut International Yacht Club, a full-service base with 40 berths and repair service, or at moorings two miles upriver from the yacht club.
