Japamala Resort
(Placeholder Image)
Über-stylish villas in a breathtaking environment, complete with endless
ocean and verdant jungle vistas.
A mere plane hop from Singapore, Malaysia's Tioman island is a little
paradise island blessed with untouched rainforest, powder sugar
crystal-white beaches and a clear-as-gin sea.
In fact, Tioman was once the
backdrop for Hollywood movie South Pacific. It is amazingly idyllic, sheer
honeymoon heaven.
Set in its serene and picture-perfect little cove, Japamala is the ultimate
bounty island jungle outpost, but with plenty of deluxe accommodation. It
offers delightful wooden chalets, positioned such that there is always a
generous view of Tioman's turquoise ocean and verdant tropical jungle.

The atmosphere here is unmistakably exclusive, yet down-to-earth and friendly. It feels as if time stood still here, yet modern touches abound.
Guests are mostly newly-weds, well, love-birds of any plumage, actually. And who can blame them? But don't assume that Japamala is just for lounging your time away in this Shangri-La setting, because visitors can revel in various complimentary activities, such as snorkeling or kayaking, or even scubadiving.
Island explorations by boat are possible too and you can even go for a guided exploration through the ever-buzzing jungle or hike across the terrain to some of the surrounding Malay villages.
Japamala is peaceful island life, no questions about it, ideal for those seeking tropical bliss and rejuvenation. But weekend warriors will find plenty of action too.
Japamala, best of both worlds...
