Opened on 1 March 1979 , Tanjong Jara Resort underwent extensive refurbishment and restoration under YTL Hotels & Properties' management. The deluxe beach resort now features 100 luxurious rooms, a spa and two swimming pools. It is one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is the perfect honeymoon destination.
The vision of an exclusive resort in Terengganu was based on the belief that the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia was fast developing as a significant destination for tourism. The challenge in the major refurbishment and renovation exercise was to preserve Tanjong Jara's 17th century traditional Malay architectural structures, which won the coveted Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The design of this Resort is derived from the elegantly crafted wooden palaces of Malay sultans from long ago and involved extensive research into traditional forms of craftsmanship, mainly from the East Coast of Malaysia.
The Malay culture and heritage are clearly present in every aspect of this Resort, from the way the rooms and suites are designed, the elaborate details in the woodwork, to the Gamelan music played every evening. Tanjong Jara Resort promises you an experience that is "Unmistakably Malay".

Every room is intricately designed, using rich local timbers and tastefully furnished with luxurious local fabrics. Our Anjung , Serambi and Bumbung rooms are all positioned to offer panoramic views of the South China Sea and direct access to the beach as well as the beautiful tropical landscaped gardens. All rooms have colour TV with satellite channels, IDD telephones, coffee/tea making facilities, in-room safe and refrigerator, toiletries, writing table, and hairdryer. The Resort offers guests three choices of accommodation.
