Tioman Cabana

Top choice in Pulau Tioman


This castaway-chic restaurant with bed and breakfast rooms (RM150 to RM280) is right on the beach, steps from the lapping waves. On the menu are excellent homemade burgers and local dishes, and there's a very chilled vibe. You can bring your own alcohol and expect jamming sessions late into the night.

The beach bungalows offer ocean-front rooms with rugs and air-con, but bring earplugs if you plan to head to bed early.
