Tanjong Jara Resort is situated on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia and lies mid-way between Kuala Terengganu in the North and Kuantan to the South. The resort is built on a sprawling 17-hectare beachfront site facing the South China Sea.

Originally built in 1979, the resort was awarded one of the world’s foremost prizes for architecture, the prestigious Aga Khan Award. And although it has recently been extensively renovated to the standards of a modern deluxe international resort, its original beauty has been preserved, and even enhanced. The look and feel reflects a combination of styles from within the Malay Archipelago, the philosophy being to assure guests an experience that is Unmistakably Malay.
