Japamala Resort, Tioman Island, Malaysia - Ultra Boutique Resort
Here, rooms are called Sarangs, which means ‘nests’ and while some lie remotely hidden amidst luxuriant jungle, others are perched high on stilts above the turquoise lagoon.
The Sarangs’ living spaces and outdoor features like plunge pool, day bed, sun deck and open air bath tubs are structured around the resort’s magnificent landscape, which is designed by natural streams, steep cliff and towering boulders, all to transcend the experience of elegant and luxury living and dining amidst mother nature.
Japamala’s Jungle Luxe concept is designed to offer some serious relaxation, a way of life to escape from your everyday-drama.
Guests can therefore be sure they’ll be taken care of by resident staff. Many say Japamala is not just a place, it’s a state of mind.
