1511 Coconut Grove

Top choice in Pulau Tioman


Escape the crowds to this plot on the far south side of Juara just before the turtle sanctuary, where boutique beach bungalows have ceiling fans, thatched roofs and gorgeous balconies that look out to sea. Hardwood floors mix with South China Sea touches to create a classic mishmash of styles. The on-site restaurant is recommended.

The sunsets are worth waking up for.
