A bespoke private beach residence offering the utmost in luxury and seclusion, The Taaras is tucked away and hidden from the outside world on a small island—considered one of the most beautiful in the South China Sea—just off the unspoiled east coast of tropical Malaysia.
Natural, yet stylish, the resort is perched on one of the most spectacular bays, surrounded by one of the bluest oceans on the planet. Named after the sun script word “Taara,” meaning “star” or “apple of my eye,” as well as “goddess of the sea,” The Taaras welcomes guests with the grace of a goddess and the sparkle of a truly magical hideaway. The resort ethos is to provide a contemporary, barefoot luxury experience with warm Asian hospitality, for a stay that is simply unforgettable.
