Carry plenty of cash as there are no ATMs in this secluded village area.
Apply insect repellent to protect yourself from sandflies on the beach.
Avoid feeding the monkeys; they can be aggressive and are known to snatch bags.
Respect local customs by dressing modestly when walking through the village area.

Pasir Sarang Burung Village is located on the southwestern coast of the easy on the eye Tioman Island. The village maintains a relaxed atmosphere, far from the island's busier jetties. Here, the tropical rainforest merges directly with white sandy beaches, creating a backdrop that is convenient for those seeking relaxation and honeymooners alike. The area is home to exclusive accommodations such as the Tunamaya Hotel, renowned for its private beach section and top-tier service. Nearby, Nipah Beach Resort gives a more rustic but equally appealing experience for nature lovers. The coral reefs just offshore are part of a marine park, providing fantastic opportunities for snorkeling and diving, where sea turtles and colorful reef fish are commonly spotted. Gastronomy in the resorts focuses on Malaysian specialties like Nasi Lemak and freshly grilled fish (Ikan Bakar). As there is no road connection to the main village, guests reach this location exclusively by speedboat from Genting or directly from the mainland in Mersing or Tanjung Gemok.
