A perfect holiday getaway.
Only ten minutes away from the bustle of Penang, the jungle-clad island of Jerejak is the perfect escape: Virgin rainforest and a rich history lay waiting to be explored, with adventurous thrills around every turn. Expert hands are ready to massage your tired muscles in the tranquillity of the forest, while the scent of aromatic oils and wild flowers fill the air. Delicious dishes are presented in a whirl of colour and flavour. Quiet chalets offer serene comfort, with the lights of the city blinking in the distance as if part of another world.
