Island Resort For Sale or For Rent in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia

Malaysia boasts of many a renowned resorts on our equally famous islands, but few are as rare as Gem Isle. Reflective of its name, the island is indisputably a gem; it is one of the few privately-owned isles in tropical and beautiful Malaysia. Curiously, albeit a blessing, it has not been devoured by mass tourism despite being virtually at the doorstep of the mainland.

Malaysia boasts of many a renowned resorts on our equally famous islands, but few are as rare as Gem Isle. Reflective of its name, the island is indisputably a gem; it is one of the few privately-owned isles in tropical and beautiful Malaysia. Curiously, albeit a blessing, it has not been devoured by mass tourism despite being virtually at the doorstep of the mainland. It is strange, too, that Gem Isle sees more foreign than local guests savouring its many pleasures.

About the closest island with top-class holiday facilities off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Gem Isle is easily accessible, Yet is has been so well shrouded that unlike overdeveloped islands bursting to the seams with exuberant visitors during peak seasons, it has remained exquisitely pristine. It has thus been mercifully spared of the problems that beset over-commercialized islands, where holidaymakers are often robbed of the idyllic vacation they seek.

Gem Isle has everything that has put Malaysian Islands on the world holiday map: sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, spectacular under-waterscape, virginal landscape, soothing environment, and superb resort facilities. Tusita Wellness Spa unveils its splendours, enticing visitors to relax and rejuvenate amidst one of the last unspoilt settings of our land.

That Gem Isle's allure is irresistible is an understatement. Its convenient location alone is an asset. A scenic journey by road to the east coast or a swift flight, either Malaysia Airlines or Air Asia, takes you to Kuala Terengganu from Kuala Lumpur, from where you proceed on a short drive to the Marang Jetty. Surrounded by a marine conservation park, Gem Isle is an mere seven-minute boat ride from the jetty.

While on the boat approaching the island, you already catch a glance of the tantalizing underwater world. Through the emerald waters, you glimpse at the myriad of colourful sea creatures nestling in blossoming gardens of corals in an equally amazing kaleidoscope of hues.

Much effort has gone into safeguarding Gem Isle's ecological balance. Except for the Villas on the Island, the island is totally undeveloped and its lush forested interior is deliberately left unexplored to preserve wildlife. In consequence, Gem Isle has an almost sacred serenity in its ambience. Quiet and peaceful, it invites you to pause on the soft sands and scan the tranquil horizon, to listen to nature's symphony of birds singing and waves gently lapping, to feel the cool breezes caressing your cheeks and inhale the pure fragrance of the flowers, to surrender yourself to rest, well-being and pampering.

Your home on the island is a romantic boutique resort with 43 sea-fronting villas hugging the coastline and perched on sturdy stilts. Tastefully appointed with all the creature comforts, the villas have details down to a pat, even offering you fine coffee and Chinese tea leaves for your private brewing, wines and cigars to accompany meals.

The resort also houses a restaurant and bar, Gem Shoppe offering souvenirs and conveniences, and of course, the lavish Tusita Wellness Spa.

Expect nothing lesser than friendly and efficient but unobtrusive care, coupled with a high degree of comfort on Gem Isle.

There is much to do at Gem Isle, if you are looking for fun and adventure or you can do absolutely nothing at all but relax against teh backdrop of verdant greenery overlooking the sea, and be waited upon.

Free-and-easy water actiivities abound, with snorkelling a must. The waters in surrounding the island are shallow in some parts that you can almost reach out and touch the magnificent corals.

You can try a spot fo fishing, go kayaking, or just frolic in the seas or seawater pool. You can also visit the turtle conservation sanctuary and go for refreshing strolls.

Orgnanized activities include tours to Kuala Terengganu, Kenyir Lake, Dungun, Kuantan and Pulau Redang. If you have always wanted to take up scuba diving, courses are available.

If you just desire to lounge, lie back on a hammock and let the wind lull you into a restful snooze, or sunbathe on any of the three private beaches.

With its well-being concept, Gem Isle naturally offers a healthy menu. You can, however, pre-order special a-la-carte meals.

One of the highlights of a holiday on Gem Isle is engaging your senses at the Tusita Wellness Spa. It has put together a handpicked array of indulging ideas and therapies, including stone therapies, to rejuvenate and recharge your mind and body. The comprehensive variety of pure pampering includes aromatherapy, scrubs, facials and massages. As your body de-stress under skilful hands, you unwind to meditative music in the placid surroundings.
