Fronting the South China Sea on the coast of Terengganu, the 99-room Tanjong Jara Resort is a sanctuary of luxury and well-being, steeped in age-old Malay traditions.

Crafted to offer discerning guests a complete experience at Tanjong Jara Resort, the Summer Stopovers incorporate accommodation, meals and three elements: Adventure, Culture and Spa, to provide an immersive holiday set against the sparkling blue waters, rustling palm trees and golden sandy beaches of Malaysia's rustic East Coast.
