Über-stylish villas in a breathtaking environment, complete with endless ocean and verdant jungle vistas.


Comfy beds, crispy sheets, sweet dreams

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.


Time for a romantic stroll in the moonlight

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.


Refreshing dip in the pool anyone?

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?


An ideal setting on an ideal little island,
welcome to Tioman's Japamala

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 scuba-diving.

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.

One of the many positive Tripadvisor Reviews:

If you are after luxury and relaxation then this is your place! I stayed here for 4 nights in July. The service is outstanding and nothing is too much of a problem. The staff are friendly and happy and make an extra effort to ensure your stay is memorable.

We did get a package that included our flights and accommodation at Japamala so it made it very reasonable cost wise for the quality of the accommodation and service. It's quiet and it's peaceful. You don't need to share the beach/pool/bar/restaurant with many people so you feel as if you are on your own holiday.

The prices of food and drinks is cheaper than I would find in Australia but more expensive than other Asian destinations I have been to (cocktails were about $8 AUD and food between $15-25 AUD) but you are eating quality food and the servings are generous.
