YTL Hotels has unveiled a definitive all-inclusive holiday of treasured moments, spanning three flagship beach resorts: Pangkor Laut Resort, Tanjong Jara Resort, and Gaya Island Resort. Unlike conventional all-inclusive packages that confine guests to a single setting, YTL Hotels draws on its diverse portfolio to offer three distinct worlds within one country. From a private island retreat to the timeless traditions of Malaysia’s east coast and the wild biodiversity of Borneo, this new getaway delivers a seamless, high-value escape where luxury, culture, and nature warmly converge.
The All-Inclusive Advantage
Crafted for the discerning global traveller in search of authentic experiences, this all-inclusive getaway includes curated dining with daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner showcasing local flavours alongside international choices and a rich programme of immersive activities.
The Private Island Sanctuary
Pangkor Laut Resort offers what few places on earth can claim: a genuine private island where “One Island, One Resort” is not a marketing promise but a living reality. Three hundred acres of two‑million‑year‑old
As part of the ‘All-Inclusive Holiday’, enjoy complimentary treasured moments including signature jungle walks with our resident naturalists, excellent daily dining experiences in selected restaurants from breakfast to dinner, and educational talks at the Nature Conservation Centre. Guests can also begin the day with yoga or balancing exercises or work off breakfast with a game of tennis or pickleball. For the young and young at heart, the games room offers entertainment for all ages, complete with professional gaming desktops and a recording studio. Beyond these experiences, there are no crowded beachfronts or queues for sun loungers. Only the extraordinary gift of solitude.
This is the resort that captured the heart of the late tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who declared it “paradise” and performed here twice. It is also where British Colonel Freddy Spencer Chapman’s legendary wartime odyssey reached its climax in the 1940s. After three years evading capture in the Malayan wilds—a story he chronicled in The Jungle is Neutral—he swam across Emerald Bay to a waiting submarine.

The Soul of the East Coast
Tanjong Jara Resort takes a different path—one rooted in heritage, tranquillity, and the unhurried wisdom of Malaysia’s east coast. Modelled after 17th‑century Malay palaces, the resort is an architectural poem of carved timber, elegant courtyards, and graceful rooflines that open to the sea. Here, the signature Sucimurni Lifestyle offers purity of spirit through traditional Malay healing practices passed down through generations.
As part of the ‘All-Inclusive Holiday’, enjoy an overnight stay with a complimentary breakfast alongside treasured moments including the gentle Sucimurni morning exercise, trekking through Jara Hill & Malay Herbal Garden, and embracing the Kampung Sucimurni Lifestyle. During this village experience, immerse yourself in traditional kampung games and music, and enjoy a complimentary shoulder massage. Savour excellent daily dining experiences in selected restaurants from breakfast to dinner and create selected traditional Terengganu handicrafts. Quieter moments can be spent in the games room, recording room, or library, whilst active guests can enjoy a match of tennis, pickleball, futsal, or basketball. This is wellness without pretence: no crowded yoga decks, no schedules that feel like obligations.
The Tanjong Jara Turtle Hatchery welcomes guests to witness the sacred cycle of nesting and hatching, releasing tiny hatchlings into the moonlit South China Sea—a quiet act of hope that has protected thousands of turtles. True renewal does not require a waiting list. At Tanjong Jara, it is offered as an inheritance. Here, time slows, the heart clears, and the soul remembers what rest truly means.
For added benefits, choose the Book Direct offer to receive a complimentary 50-minute massage for two persons.
Where Barefoot Luxury Meets Purpose
Gaya Island Resort offers something altogether different: barefoot luxury woven seamlessly with purpose. Set within the protected Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park off the coast of Borneo—with views of majestic Mount Kinabalu—this is a place where nature takes the lead. The resort sits lightly on the land, its villas climbing the hillside through primary rainforest. Here, marine and wildlife conservation are not optional extras but the very fabric of every stay.
As part of the ‘All-Inclusive Holiday’, guests can enjoy excellent daily dining experiences in selected restaurants from breakfast to dinner, join guided Nature walks with naturalists who name every leaf and bird call, hands-on coral propagation, and attend marine and wildlife conservation talks to learn about our efforts. The resort’s commitment to wildlife rescue runs deep—from caring for injured sea turtles at the marine centre to supporting the rehabilitation of orphaned or injured primates and native species. Guests may witness a turtle’s return to the ocean or learn how rescued animals are nursed back to health before release into the protected marine park. This is wildlife that has never learned to pose for admiration—and an invitation to be part of a better world, not merely observe it.
Wellness offerings include yoga and meditation classes. Evenings bring movies under the stars, and quieter moments can be spent in the games room or library. Selected traditional handicraft classes offer a hands‑on connection to local heritage.
