Japamala Resort, Tioman Island
Japamala Resort
Rejuvenate in one of our sixteen ‘Rustic-Luxe’ chalets, Sarangs, and beachside villas, each thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the stunning beauty of Tioman Island while preserving its natural surroundings.
"Sarang" meaning "nest" in Malay, is designed with the intention for our guests to feel like they are returning home. Built with recycled wood and designed to blend harmoniously with the environment, our chalets, Sarangs, and villas reflect a deep commitment to sustainability. The walls are constructed using natural and biodegradable materials, such as natural sands, without the use of pigments or chemicals. As a result, our walls do not feature a sparkling white finish, and natural variations and patches may be visible—adding to the unique, organic charm of each space.
Rooms are adorned with handcrafted furniture and restored driftwood, complementing the rustic aesthetic. Modern amenities include Smart TVs, WiFi, locally sourced ground coffee and tea leaves, and biodegradable bathroom essentials, ensuring your comfort without compromising on sustainability.
Please note that all our rooms are accessible by staircase only, offering an intimate connection with the natural surroundings. Whether you are seeking a cozy nest for stylish hibernation or a tranquil perch to explore the island, our chalets and villas provide the perfect escape.
