Privacy in a nest - That’s what you get when you stay at the JapaMala Resort in Pulau Tioman.
Just like birds’ nests hidden from prying eyes, JapaMala’s well-planned villas and chalets, aptly called Sarang (nests in Malay), are barely visible from one another, assuring complete seclusion and privacy for the guests.
Named Hillside Plunge Pool Sarang Villa, Jungle Sarang Villa, Sea Cliff Chalet and Tree Top Chalet, all the chalets lie hidden in 11 acres of natural environment. All 10 chalets and villas have commanding views of the South China Sea and surrounding jungle.
JapaMala Tioman is an exclusive boutique resort that offers the ultimate Asian Resort Experience.
Situated on Tioman Island, off the East Coast of Malaysia, JapaMala’s combination of luxurious accomodation and fine-dining facilities make it the perfect place to get away from it all, without foregoing the finer things in life.
A protected marine park, Tioman boasts numerous dive sites and a bewildering variety of fish and coral life. A scuba diver’s paradise.
Pure white beaches and warm emerald waters grace this stunning island.
Some guests are perfectly content to do absolutely nothing at all. While others prefer to try their hand at popular Tioman island activities such as: beach combing, jungle trekking, rock climbing or snorkeling.
However you choose to occupy yourself, JapaMala Resort Tioman is the place to relax, revive and refresh.
JapaMala Resort is "big" enough for you to indulge in the solitude but "small" enough for all the staff to know and greet you by name, a smile and a bow.
It is ideal for honeymooners and couples – an absolute sanctuary. As there are no telco signals for mobile phones though in an emergency, there is a front office satellite phone.
Director of marketing and communications Maple Loo said JapaMala Resort Tioman balances like a sacred jewel between ancient rainforest and emerald sea, radiating a calmness that touches all who visit her shores, adding that it is a high end top budget resort and 90 per cent of its guests are foreigners.
"JapaMala takes its name from the string of 108 Japa beads that’s used by Buddhists, Hindus and yogis to empower mantra meditation and enable one to reach high levels of consciousness, realization and rapture.
"Both resort and prayer beads are symbolic of tranquility and bliss. A visit here can be likened to entering a state of prayer, where one can awaken innate goodness, kindness, serenity, virtue, joy and a peaceful heart. Every room key is attached to a symbolic Japa beads," she said.
