Plants, animals and land have been disturbed as little as possible. It's been JapaMala's goal to build around nature - to respect and preserve the inherent beauty of this destination; to coexist with all who dwell there. Great care has been taken to minimize any environmental impact. No rocks were moved, no trees were cut down. As a result no two villas are the same. Each is unique - taking on the character of the land upon which it is built.
Whether a long or short stay, good food shares the importance of a comfortable environment in making a vacation memorable. There are two ambiance-driven restaurants appointed at locations stunning enough to whet your appetite! Tamarind Terrace is the sister restaurant to award-winning Tamarind Hill and Tamarind Springs in Kuala Lumpur whereas Mandi-Mandi Restaurant is the latest edition to the resort's collection of aesthetic spots.
A small swimming pool is adjacent to the Tamarind Terrace restaurant and the beach. The pool deck is spotted with tanning pavilions with convertibles for the comfort of shade and sun. The wooden deck sits on stilts above a natural spring. Spa experiences at JapaMala eloquently suggest the return to your natural self. It is a place to harvest that wellness of your mind and body and making it a definite part of you.
