Nipah lies towards the southern end of the island and is nothing more than a few basic chalets on a golden beach and a deep green lagoon. As rustic and peaceful as it gets, there are no distractions here – not even a public telephone.

Most of the visitors here are backpackers, looking for an escape off the beaten path, and this is exactly what they will get. Apart from the peaceful natural surroundings, this is also a starting point for a two-day jungle trek to the top of Mount Kajang – Tioman’s highest peak.
