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.

Described as Asia’s best kept secret, Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia, and also its richest and most varied. It is situated on the island of Borneo, and along with Sabah, makes up East Malaysia, which is separated from Peninsula Malaysia by the South China Sea.
Like her neighbour, Sarawak is equally celebrated for its natural beauty and diversity. This diversity extends to its rich cultural heritage and its preservation of traditional lifestyles. Sarawak’s numerous Dayak tribes still live in longhouses – these are whole village populations living in one structure, with separate rooms opening on to a communal veranda. This communal spirit is extended to visitors who are invited to stay overnight.
