Mukut Beautiful Beaches
MUKUT , a tiny fishing village on the south coast, lies in the shadow of granite outcrops. Shrouded by dense forest, and connected to the outside world by a solitary card phone, it's a wonderfully peaceful and friendly spot to unwind, though be warned that this is still a conservative place, unused to Western sunbathing habits.
The nicest position is occupied by Chalets Park, with secluded chalets shaded by trees. Those at Sri Tanjung Chalets (at the far western end of the cove overlook a patch of beach - ask at the house in the village where the name of the chalets is painted on a tyre.
The places to eat are few and basic. The Sri Sentosa is a bit on the dingy side, though popular with the locals, while the views from Mukut Coral Resort and the 7-Eleven cafe just by the jetty make up for their lack of variety.
Tioman Mukut Coral Resort is built in traditional Village style, our casual, peaceful environment isthe gateway to nature's gifts. All Chalet facilities are air-conditioned and hot water shower attached.
The resort is beautifully located between beach and creek and offers everything what backpacker need: Simple but clean wooden chalets, cozy restaurant, hammocks, nice beach and jam session or Disco in the evening (if there are enough travelers). The highlight of the accommodation is a creatively with bamboo and batik furnished wooden chalet for five persons. There is apart from a double bed and one single bed another mattress right under the roof with view of the garden.
