Where To Stay

An extraordinary resort is opening in peninsular Malaysia’s east coast state, Terengganu. The Terrapuri Heritage Village is slated to open in mid-2008. This oceanfront resort is constructed of 28 traditional Terengganu-style Malay houses, some as old as 200 years. Lovingly restored to the tune of RM2 mil (US$590,000) using only traditional methods, each house will also provide guests with a background of its architectural style and reconstruction details. The resort is located just next to a turtle wildlife sanctuary, looking out to the islands of Redang and Perhentian, which offer excellent scuba and snorkeling, and 45 minutes from Kuala Terengganu’s great handicrafts shopping — making it truly a Have-It-All vacation spot in Malaysia. Advance bookings can be made through Ping Anchorage at tel. 09/626-2020.
