The small, unassuming island of Tioman on the southeast coast of Malaysia attracts travellers who love unspoilt nature, golden sandy beaches, rock formations and underwater life.

Tioman is only 32 km from the mainland. It measures 12 km in width and 20 km in length. Virtually all of it is densely forested jungle and only along the coast you will find a few villages and resorts. All but one of the resorts are on the western side of the island. The eastern side is dominated by a secluded resort called Juara.
