Tioman Gold Coast
Pulau Tioman, a.k.a. Tioman Island, is a lovely little slice of paradise located in the South China Sea, just off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Its exotic beauty and tropical appeal have made it a popular destination for tourists seeking an authentic tropical getaway.
Tioman is a remote island, but offers a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur and Johor. In addition, visitors can take the ferry to reach the island. Nevertheless, the island's remoteness adds to its allure and helps to maintain its traditional old-school atmosphere and natural beauty.
Breathtaking Nature
The island is home to a sheer breathtaking environment, including stunning beaches and crystal-clear azure-hued waters. Furthermore, there are countless attractions on Tioman, such as hiking through the jungle, to the Asah Waterfall, or scubadiving the coral reefs, or simply relaxing on the beach.
Tioman Gold Coast
One of the most sought-after areas on Tioman is the
Tioman Gold Coast, a stretch of the island's southwest coast that is home to a number of Tioman's high-end accommodations. These include Japamala, Bagus Place, Minang Cove, Tunamaya. As well as the soon to be completed private beachfront residences of Samaja Selo. The luxurious lodgings here are renowned for providing guests with stunning views, delicious food and numerous amenities.
The past few years in particular, Tioman Gold Coast has amassed quite a reputation for eminating style, an exclusive ambiance and the ultimate in spa and wellness pampering. Echoes of the Tioman of yore, when the island's gorgeous setting was the backdrop for two blockbusters, including the 1958 movie "South Pacific" and the 1977 movie "Bali."
With pedigree like this, it's small wonder the island has been featured in well-known international travel magazines and has become a favorite spot for honeymooners and vacationing couples seeking a romantic getaway on a castaway beach, literally á la Hollywood.
Of Tioman and Dragons
In addition to its now-famous natural beauty, Tioman also has a rich cultural history, as the recently built museum in the village of Tekek can attest to. Legend has it that Pulau Tioman is the resting place of a dragon
princess and her dragon prince. Meanwhile, visitors can explore the island's turtle sanctuary, Juara Turtle Project, a turtle conservation center that is dedicated to preserving the sea turtles that call Tioman's waters home.
Pulau Tioman is a true gem of an island, located a mere stone's throw from Malaysia's east coast and pretty much a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a picture-perfect atoll getaway.
