A charming rustic retreat tucked inside Kampung Genting's lush garden landscape — traditional wooden chalets, warm hospitality, and Tioman Island's best beaches just steps away.
Rustic wooden chalets surrounded by fruit trees and tropical greenery. It's like staying in a real Malay village.
Where Kampung Charm
Meets Island Paradise
Aguna Resort is a collection of rustic wooden chalets nestled in a peaceful garden setting in the heart of Kampung Genting, Tioman Island. Surrounded by fruit trees, creeping vines, and lush tropical greenery, it is the kind of place where you genuinely feel the soul of a traditional Malay village — unhurried, warm, and wonderfully authentic.
While not directly on the beachfront, the resort is just a 2 to 3-minute walk from the shore, where one of Tioman's most beautiful sandy beaches awaits. The Genting jetty is a comfortable 5 to 10-minute stroll away, and Tioman Dive Buddy, a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, is just a 10-minute walk from the resort — perfect for divers and snorkelers.
What sets Aguna apart is its genuine kampung hospitality. Run by the ever-helpful Mr. Goh, the resort is known for friendly, personal service that makes every guest feel like family. Free breakfast featuring homestyle nasi lemak is included with every stay, and the on-site restaurant serves freshly prepared Malaysian dishes throughout the day.
