Tioman

Thai restaurant opened in 2011. You can watch Thai television there.

Food is ok, but if you are hungry order at least two mains per adult, or a lot of sides. Bushman's serves beer, but it's lukewarm and the selection is limited, with only Tiger and Chang on offer (RM5/can). They also sell wine at RM35/bottle.

One of the biggest restaurants on Juara. Great selection of local food, seafood available depending on the season. Wins hands down in terms of tastiness. Ambiance, however, is not their strong point, so seek out other options if you are after a romantic dinner location.

Restaurant attached to the resort with decent prices and good atmosphere.

Wooden open air lounge/terrace at the beach with cushions, very good selection of chilled music in the evening, good food and a nice flair. But don't expect any wild parties going on there.

Good selection of music from the 1970s onwards, Sells beer and cocktails, also hosts private parties. Fireball (poipoi) shows and lessons most nights, plus bonfires The owners are backpackers and also good place to meet backpackers, travellers and locals. Coconut tree, bamboo and tree building.

A friendly and tranquil chalet resort and surf center. Provides basic huts and small restaurant right on the beach. Dorm is often full.

is right on the beach; six rooms with fan and attached bathroom (cold shower), double (RM80), triple (costs more but will be provided for RM80 if you request a double room and none are available). May collect you if you phone ahead.

Kg Salang. RM50 onward, no wifi

Bed & breakfast, beach bistro with food and drinks.

Northern end of Air Batang. A very small resort with six rooms. RM70-120. The boulder-top chalets are simple (no A/C or hot water or TV) but to a very high standard, and all directly overlook the sea. The majority of guests are repeat visitors, and booking well in advance is pretty much essential. Closed during the monsoon season.

You can camp there with the price of RM3 person per day. Ask to build a camp next to the pizza "hut" near the beach. This camp place will suit for 2 tent (4-man tent). There are fields behind for more tents, but it is far from the beach.

Located at a very small kampong about 200 m north of Air Batang and the second last ferry stop. This kg has now been subsumed by an adhoc collection of accommodation structures that climb the rocky headland. The growing technical prowess of the builders results in a mixed grill of style from Malaysian hut to alpine chalet, and a switch from environmentally sympathetic timber to more intrusive concrete, the remnants of previous structures being carelessly preserved. From RM45 to RM140 en-suite, A/C, kettle (but no tea or coffee) breakfast, and a view from a balcony. In front is a 100-m beach which is great for swimming at the top half of the tide, and a reef for snorkeling. Restaurant kampong grown fruit and drinks. Tiger beer at RM5 and red wine, sold from the snorkeling gear hire shop.

Kampung Paya (south of Tekek). A typical Tioman resort featuring an almost-private beach, a particularly good restaurant, a swimming pool, a dive shop, spa experience and chalets of varying standards. The crumbling Standard chalets are poor value, and occasionally sandflies will leave defacing bites on younger tourists; the newer Superiors are much better. Get a package here as the rack rates are extortionate. It includes 2 way ferry tickets, accommodation and meal/activity arrangement.

Located on a relatively private beach and is the longest beach in Tekek Village,With main facilities like restaurant, cafe, diveshop, laundry. Various rooms are available with a choice of either a seaview and/or garden view room. Rates from RM45 to RM150 per room.

Swiss Cottage, where Tioman Dive Centre is based, was one of the first chalet operators on Tioman. The resort has a variety of rooms built around a central area which is shaded by trees. It has a relaxed feeling and is a great place to hang out. The resort has 5 types of room, all of which are fan cooled, except for the Terrace A/C rooms and Garden View Chalet A/C. Fan is usually sufficient given the beach front location. All rooms are with bathroom and hot water shower, breakfast is included in the price.

RM100 A/C room, wifi RM5 for 5 days. Refurbished older resort under new management.

About halfway between the Genting and Paya jetties, Melina Beach Resort is a small, non-Malaysian owned and run resort. It offers both A/C and fan rooms built in typical chalet-style, and other more original rooms such as a tree hut. The restaurant also caters for western tastes with some German specialties, and is above average price. Free pick-up and drop-off from the Genting jetty can be arranged. Alternatively, it is a pleasant 20 min walk.

The three villas and nine chalets are all A/C with ensuite facilities situated on the south tip of Tioman Island.

18 rooms: 2 honeymoon suites, 1 family room & 16 standard rooms all with A/C & hot showers.

18-hole golf course, Taaras Spa, and a wide variety of restaurants and bars. As of 2018, all of the garbage and recyclables generated by this resort was dumped in the jungle next to the resort. Berjaya is a major Malaysian corporation, so consider whether you support such behaviour when booking.

A very private and intimate resort with 12 villas and chalets, a beautiful beach and 2 amazing restaurants, Tamarind Terrace & Mandi Mandi. Note that there is no mobile network coverage at Japamala which makes it a real getaway from the rest of the world. Impeccable service from its attentive staff.

At the southern tip near Minang. A chalet resort run by young Europeans as an eco-resort. Private beach, with a small number of simple and tasteful luxurious chalets. Starting at a whooping RM900 a night this resort still manages to get fully booked for many months.
