Arguably the most popular of Tioman’s villages, Salang lies in a small bay at the north of the island. Resorts, restaurants and shops are lined up around the bay, with the biggest cluster of activity around the jetty. The jetty and a freshwater lagoon divide the village in two, the northern end being quieter and the southern end laying claim to a prime stretch of beach.

Salang is as lively as it gets on Tioman: families start playing on the beach as soon as the sun is out and loud music and chatter can be heard till the early hours of the morning. It still has a laid-back, holiday village charm and the only traffic you will find here is a child on a bicycle chasing one of the huge monitor lizards out of the way.

At the northern side of the village, the beach is rocky and becomes unsuitable for swimming at low tide. The soft sand on the southern side, offers a much better place to play and sunbathe and the bay here is very popular for snorkelling. The water is crystal-clear and home to many species of coral and colourful fish.

Remember to book well in advance for weekends and public holidays.
