The Royale Aryani Terengganu Hotel

This boutique resort overlooks white sands and blue waters and is surrounded by several hectares of lush and verdant tropical plants. The hotel shares space with the National Marine Park. The 24 accommodations consist of private oceanfront villas with private garden, beachfront suites and bluff-top guestrooms. All of them are fully equipped with a wonderful open-air concept shower and plunge pool. The resort's tasteful heritage architectural forms have been created by a top Malaysian architect and blend in with the natural environment, while contemporary interiors add rich natural context. The complex has a restaurant that offers a sumptuous dining experience overlooking the South China Sea. Those who like to socialise can do so at the beach bar or the communal outdoor swimming pool. This is certainly really good value for money and a wonderful escape.
