Additionally, the resort’s direct access to Tanjong Beach allows for peaceful morning walks, sunset reflections, or even just enjoying the calm ocean breeze in a modest-friendly environment.
Those looking for spiritual rejuvenation will find plenty of quiet spaces for prayer and meditation. The resort’s commitment to guest comfort means that Muslim travellers can request prayer mats, Qibla directions, and other religious amenities upon arrival.
