The Kasturi Resort is a five-star beach resort located at Chendor Beach, Pahang, which commands perfect view towards the sunrise, over the forested point of Tanjong Geliga and off to the South China Sea. With rainforest behind and beach in front, the villas and suites at The Kasturi offer a superb retreat, encapsulating the reality of being embraced by land and sea. This tiny resort of just 23 keys is designed to escape city stress, without sacrificing the comforts and luxury we crave. The resort’s 15 acres have 800 meters of beach backed by forested dunes. The site has virtually exclusive access to another kilometer of beach towards the north, right up to the estuary of Sungai Pak Siak, wonderful for dawn walks or evening runs. The estuary is a magical place where we occasionally see a family of otters basking on the banks. Sea eagles regularly swoop over our villas, and fireflies twinkle beside our walkways. The beach is famous for fishing stingray and of course for the endangered green turtles, whose eggs are safely buried in our hatchery.
