The Taaras Beach and Spa

A truly special natural location

Situated on the tropical island of Redang off Malaysia's east coast, this simple resort has a truly beautiful natural setting. With a powder soft white sand beach, crystal clear waters and great marine life this is a perfect spot for diving and snorkelling. You can also enjoy jungle trekking and a variety of watersports including island hopping and glass bottom boat trips (some activities are payable locally). Guest rooms are furnished in a simple but modern style and are located either in the tropical gardens, up on the hill or near to the beach, each offering different views of the resort.

PLEASANT STAY!!

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A very welcoming from all staff from the pick up place until the day we departed. We arrive early at 11am and we got our room by 1pm. Our room facing a gardens and sea. Very calm place to stay. Working distance to the beach. Delicious breakfast ! Hopefully they maintain their service ! good job everyone!

Amazing beach and average level of the resort

Vienna, Austria

I would strongly recommend Redang island because of the amazing beach and snorkelling opportunities. The staff of the hotel was very friendly and willing to meet the requests of the guests. The rooms and the facilities of the resorts need better maintenance and significantly higher level of cleanliness. We had to change our room few times because none of the rooms were really clean.The breakfast as well as the restaurant are average.
