Love a good beach holiday or looking for a place to snorkel and dive? Tioman Island has it all. All you need now is a place to stay. From private beaches to sprawling villas, here are the most luxurious resorts you can find on the island
As Singaporeans, we love our beach holidays. Perhaps it’s the fact that a majority of us spend our days surrounded by the chaos of city life that make beach destinations such as Bali and Krabi so enthralling. Or it could be the fact that we do not have a ‘real’ beach in our country, since Sentosa is man-made.
It’s always a good idea to get away from the noise and be zen once in a while.
If you want a getaway closer to home, Malaysia boasts some of the most gorgeous and relaxing beaches that are only a short drive across the border.

Here, we highlight Tioman Island, a popular destination in Malaysia that is accessible by driving about two hours to Mersing Jetty from Singapore and then taking a ferry to the idyllic spot.
The island boasts crystal clear waters, an abundance of wildlife and opportunities for those who love to snorkel or dive.
Below are some of the most luxurious resorts to try on your next visit.
1. Japamala Tioman Resort
With multiple awards to its name, Japamala Tioman Resort is a fashionably rustic resort that is worth a stay when you are on Tioman Island.
If you are travelling with a larger family or are looking to host a gathering, you’ll want to book the resort’s famed Penghulu’s House.
This is a two-storey, two-bedroom villa designed to create a sense of community while retaining all the creature comforts of an urban home.
The house opens onto the beach and features a private swimming pool and striking views of nature.
Other than that, guests can enjoy activities such as scuba dives, boat excursions and jungle trekking. If you are looking for something less adventurous, you can enjoy the resort’s highly-acclaimed restaurants and spa.
