AND TANJONG JARA RESORT
Our Nature Conservation Centres blend luxury with environmental stewardship. Pangkor Laut protects ancient rainforest ecosystems, where hornbills soar through 2-million-year-old canopies and vibrant marine life thrives. Tanjong Jara safeguards coastal habitats, from sea turtle nesting sites to coral reefs in the South China Sea.
Guests join in conservation efforts through guided rainforest walks, turtle monitoring, and coral planting initiatives, transforming each stay into a meaningful engagement with Malaysia’s biodiversity. Our expert naturalists reveal hidden wonders, from medicinal plants to playful otters, creating unforgettable encounters where luxury meets sustainability.
These living classrooms demonstrate our commitment to preserving Malaysia’s natural heritage while offering guests privileged access to conservation in action. Every experience supports vital protection efforts, ensuring these ecosystems flourish for generations.
THE TURTLE HATCHERY AT TANJONG JARA RESORT
As part of an exclusive partnership with PULIHARA, the resort has established a longstanding turtle hatchery adjacent to the Nelayan Restaurant. Constructed with a robust yet straightforward wooden lattice structure, the hatchery provides guests with a view into the nesting process while ensuring the safety of the nests from potential predators.
Guests are offered the opportunity to delve into the captivating world of sea turtles, discovering the majestic creatures that inhabit our oceans, learning about the challenges they encounter, and the ongoing efforts to protect their offspring from poachers while reintegrating them into their natural marine habitat. This collaborative initiative provides informative talks and invites participation in nest inspections during the day (subject to availability), with the chance, if fortunate, to witness the mesmerising emergence of young hatchlings at night.
Moreover, an innovative nest adoption programme empowers guests to pledge their support, safeguarding a nest from poachers and preventing its potential sale in local markets as food. Participants in this program receive regular email updates featuring photographic progress reports and an exclusive invitation to revisit the resort to witness the remarkable hatching of turtle eggs.
PULIHARA, formerly known as Lang Tengah Turtle Watch, exemplifies this commitment as a non-profit organisation and recipient of the prestigious Star Golden Hearts Award in 2023. With years of unwavering dedication, PULIHARA provides invaluable expertise, volunteer support, and educational resources, facilitating the release of tens of thousands of endangered turtle hatchlings into their natural habitat.
MANAGING WITH AN OWNER’S PERSPECTIVE
Key to the company’s successful partnerships is its long involvement in property ownership. This has allowed it to develop a healthy recognition of owner’s concerns when providing value-added management services, and is vital in helping build trust, understanding and cooperation with its partners.
