Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort (N2.72072 E104.15162) is located at the southern tip of
Tioman Island. The resort had just established a year ago, and the surrounding is so nature and not polluted. The white sandy beach accompany with the crystal clear water, the mythical Twin Peaks as the backdrop of the resort...everything painted a beautiful picture in front of us, it's almost heaven! That's the reason of their resort's slogan -
"Between heaven and earth." The jetty of Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort
The crystal clear water at the jetty
The Tunamaya's staffs had a warm welcome for us at the jetty...song, music and friendly smiles. Suddenly I heard :
"Welcome to fantasy island!" said by the Resort Manager -
Mr Paul Cheah. The phrase remind me of Mr Roarke from the American TV series of 1977 -
The Fantasy Island, which was one of my favorite series. Kind of traveling to the past...haha!
By walking towards the lobby from the jetty, I was amazed by the marvelous view of the resort...seems like 'guarded' by the Legendary Twin Peaks behind it.

The check-in process was smooth! Seems like the staffs at the front desk already know our names by walking directly to each of us for signatures, can it be coincidence?
I'm impressed.The lounge and the lobby
Everyone was presented a coconut as a welcome drink to cool us down on the hot and humid weather at the lobby.
After a short rest, we were served by the buffet breakfast at the restaurant...

My simple breakfast at Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort
An 'ice breaking' session for all of us during the breakfast session...it was totally relax.
When we about to walk to our room, and realized that all the keys already in the room and the air-conditioning was on. The staffs were so considerate, appreciated because they cool down the room on the hot weather before we step in.
The area was well maintain, with lush of green...
5 minutes walked, we reached our villa.
There are 2 type of views for all the villa, sea view and nature view. Every villa has 2 rooms and its interconnected, few types of room available - 2 persons, 3 persons and family room. All layout and deco almost no different except the beds.
Me and my friend were staying in the same villa with individual room, my friend's room was a 3 persons room equipped with one queen and one single bed, my room was equipped with one king bed. Both rooms were interconnected.

According to
Mr Paul (Resort Manager), the drinking water in the room is the natural water from the waterfall of the island. This is one of the
best drinking water I had among all the resort I visited before.
As I noticed, the room was equipped with all the quality product like electrical switch, toiletries and many more...
After we settled our bags and luggages, it was free and easy session...we walked around the resort.
The nature view's Villas have a simple and greenery view from their windows, and the sea view's Villas have a nice wooden pedestrian connected to each other.

Some history of
Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort :-
The resort established about a year ago, we view through their video where everything constructed from zero. One of the partner -
Mr Gan was from Penang, explained to us about the story behind the name of the resort. He said before they name the resort, another partner has a resort at Perhentian Island -
The Tuna Bay Resort. That's why the word
'Tuna' is mentioned here, and
'maya' is the national language of
'mythical', it means the mysteries, mythical of the Legendary Twin Peaks just situated exactly as a backdrop of the resort. At last, we understand the name of the resort is nothing to do with the Tuna fish...
