A sleepy little fishing village at the southern tip of the island, Mukut has a rural charm that is hard to beat, even on Tioman. The twin peaks of the island - the dragon's horns - tower over the cluster of simple chalets and houses and a stream flows through the heart of the village. A slightly rocky beach gives way to patches of soft sand at the far eastern and western ends. Giant butterflies flutter away from children on bicycles, monkeys jump from tree to tree in the jungle behind and a monitor lizard slowly makes its way into the undergrowth.

For those that want to experience tranquillity, nature and the traditional village life, this is the place. The accommodation is simple, most chalets only have fans and cold showers and the food is traditional Malay fare. The spectacular Asah waterfall is a 45 minute walk away and many Mukut resorts also offer boat trips there. You can rent snorkelling equipment in the village and Mukut is also the starting point for treks to scale the dragon's horns.
