Redang's one true luxury address, and the only resort with a beach to itself. The Taaras (a 5-star Berjaya property, formerly the Berjaya Redang Resort) sits on Teluk Dalam, a secluded northern bay widely rated the most beautiful on the island — lush jungle behind, calm turquoise water in front, and no day-tripper crowds because there is no other resort on the bay. It runs to 184 rooms, suites and a villa, a full spa (the Taaras Spa, with thalassotherapy and beachside treatments), a dive centre, and the polish you would expect at the top of the island's price range. The honest counterpoint from guests is the price, and that the food and some service can feel merely average for a 5-star rate. Book it for the private beach, the spa and the seclusion Long Beach cannot offer — not for value.

Amenities
Our independent tip
Choose The Taaras specifically for Teluk Dalam — the seclusion and the private beach are what the premium buys, so it makes little sense if you intend to spend the trip island-hopping off the resort. Set expectations on dining: reviewers consistently praise the setting and beach but find the food and some service only average for the price, so come for the bay and the spa rather than the restaurant. If budget is the reason you are on Redang at all, a Long Beach package resort gives you the same water for a fraction of the cost.
Indicative rate
The most expensive stay on Redang — sold as room rates and packages, and typically running well above the Long Beach resorts (often roughly two to three times a mainstream Long Beach package). Suites and the villa cost considerably more. Indicative — check the current rate, and weigh the seclusion and spa against the premium.

Frequently asked questions
Why is The Taaras more expensive than other Redang resorts?
It is the island only 5-star resort and the only one on Teluk Dalam, a secluded bay it has entirely to itself, so you are paying for privacy, a spa and a higher level of finish than the package resorts on Long Beach. Guests rate the setting highly; the common criticism is that the food and some service feel average for the price.
Is The Taaras better for families or couples?
It can host families (there are larger rooms and a villa), but its character — a quiet private bay, a spa, fine dining and a romantic, special-occasion feel — leans towards couples and honeymooners. Families chasing snorkeling and a pool on a budget get far better value from a Long Beach package resort.
Where is The Taaras on Redang?
On Teluk Dalam, a sheltered bay on the north of the island, away from the resort strip on Long Beach (Pasir Panjang). It is reached by the resort own boat transfer from the mainland; the trade-off for the seclusion is that you are committed to the resort rather than walking to other restaurants or beaches.
