Luxury Travel to Trengganu

Beautiful unspoilt beaches, a most innovative spa whose sense of ritual and pageantry makes the experience that much more memorable and an architectural heritage that is one of the most interesting in Malaysia provides for the luxury-beach dimension and makes this town an essential component to your Malaysian trip.

You'll be staying in a seaside resort consisting of houses displaying architecture harkening back to the Malay Sultanates. Right from your point of entry- a charming drive down through authentic Malay villages, the heritage and seclusion of the property is sure to charm the most jaded of holidaymakers.

With a choice of restaurants, each displaying an excellent repertoire of dishes (its beachfront restaurant is considered one of Malaysia's best destination restaurants), and an award-winning spa revolving around the unique theme of Malay healing practices, this property is worth the detour on a trip.

We'll arrange for a private dinner on the beach if you wish, or book one of the spa treatments, all designed to recreate the courtly traditions of the Malaccan sultanate. The treatments are administered by traditional healers in the nearby villages, lending a sense of authenticity. You would be accompanied by the vigorous sounds of kompang courtesy of the women living in the nearby villages as you're led down on the beach on the way to your spa treatment, creating an unparalleled sense of ritual and atmosphere.

The next day, you could opt for an early morning(pre-sunrise) exercise by the beach. Termed the indera deria, it is a traditional Malay form of exercise, with the closest parallel in mainstream consciousness being the yoga.

Despite its idyllic, isolated location, a range of activities can be had- from batik-printing to kite-making classes for those so inclined, or a river cruise along the Marang River with the resident naturalist. Trekking trips to the nearby waterfall can also be arranged as is a guided bicycle tour of the nearby villages.
