Dive Centre/Resort Of The Day: The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort, Malaysia
TODAY’S DIVE CENTRE/RESORT OF THE DAY IS… THE TAARAS BEACH & SPA RESORT, MALAYSIA!
‘The Taaras’ is a bespoke Private Beach Residence, tucked away and hidden from the outside world on a small Island found just off the unspoilt East Coast of tropical Malaysia. Considered to be one of the most beautiful Island locations in the South China Sea, the Isle of Redang is home to a natural, yet stylish resort found on one of the most spectacular bays surrounded by one of the bluest oceans on earth. The resort’s ethos is to provide a contemporary, barefoot luxury experience with warm Asian hospitality, remembered with a smile long into the future. The name of the property is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘TAARA’, meaning ‘Star or Apple of my eye’ as well as ‘Goddess of the Sea’ which are all represented and epitomised by the resort’s mermaid figurehead. The resort is managed by The Taaras Luxury Group, and was formerly known as Berjaya Redang Resort managed by Berjaya Hotels and Resorts.
