Nestled within 11 acres lush vegetation, along a pristine private beach on the Island of Tioman, JapaMala is a wonderfully secluded Malaysian resort. Its motto is “do nothing at all, let the surroundings do it for you,” and you feel like it has to be that, given the spectacular location you find yourself in.
Accommodations are in the form of quaint-looking, but very comfortable wooden houses called “Sarang,” which in Malay means “nest.” And guests truly get the feeling they are sheltered, far away from mundane cares or the stress of everyday life, with just the deep sea and the tropical jungle around them. You won’t forget the comforts of modern living though, since each Sarang comes with air-conditioning, WiFi, iPod docks, DVD players and cable TV, as well as full mini bars and Espresso machines. Many accommodations even have private plunge pools and wooden sun decks, an ideal setting for spending endless tranquil hours of rest and relaxation.
Rounding things off in style is the alluring Samadhi Spa, where guests can go through an unforgettable, rejuvenating treatment that will have them appreciating this oasis of serenity even more. Doing nothing has never been so productive!
