Bushman

Top choice in Pulau Tioman


Nabbing one of Bushman’s nine varnished wood bungalows, with their inviting wicker-furnished terraces, is like winning the Juara lottery – with delightfully friendly staff, solid food, and white-sand beach just steps from your door, it's best to reserve in advance. The location is right up against the boulder outcrop at the southern end of Barok beach.

Bushman’s deservedly popular cafe is a wondrously languorous place to chill out and chomp on pizza and banana pancakes.
