Terenganu Trip Part 2: My Top 3 Resort at Merang Coast

 The other part of story for my last Terengganu trip is...... visiting resorts we pass by during the way back home. Oh! this is might be a simple boring entry for you...

Let begin with the lunch after we check-out from GEM Beach Resort after 12 noon...
We had our lunch at Sutra beach resort, which also is the first resort we stop by.
Sutra has been my all time favorite resort. Why? they has a cool swimming pool. i call it the infinity pool.

1. Sutra Beach Resort

Intrested to know more about Sutra Beach Resort, visit the website here or you may call them at

Finish up our meal, we set the GPS to home...
However we came across Aryani signboard. Yes the Aryani resort.

2. The Aryani Resort

first time i visit their website at http://www.thearyani.com i really had interest in this place...
Aryani is Bali / Teranganu Traditional concept resort. the enviroment is completely nature and away from the main road. It is almost like a secret garden for Puteri Kayangan (princess from heaven). If you are looking for that kind of place, try logon to their website.

secret door

i ask my GF to come here for honeymoon, but she give a  big No for the answer. She feel this place is a bit too much of natural. (maybe it is rainy season, she hate there for too many mosquitoes. Blame the nature for that??)

Since photograph is not allow IN the resort (maybe because i am not stay there). I still insist to put the photo from OUT side of the resort. Nah!! give you the secret door to the secret garden.. haha

Go on an Explore yourselves what is behind the door...

That is the last resort in Terenganu we visited. The next Resort is in Kelantan.   




3. The Villa Danialla Beach Resort

Villa Danialla is located at Tok Bali, Bachok, Kelantan. They are providing you the magnificence of  " the unparalleled beauty of nature and the luxury of creature comforts." 

For me Villa Danialla is doing a great job  providing a new perceptive to Tok Bali. The unique concept of the building could bring you across time. For examples the white double story building make me feel like in British Colonial Era, terraced house in LA, movie set for telenovela...
