Idaman Beach
Holiday Resort
An affordable beachfront retreat on Tioman Island's quieter south coast — steps from world-class dive sites and the crystal waters of the South China Sea.
Shore snorkeling with coral reefs just metres from the beach. PADI dive centre right next door.
Your Island Escape
Without the Premium Price
Nestled on the quieter southern stretch of Kampung Genting's coastline, Idaman Beach Holiday Resort offers something increasingly rare on Tioman Island — genuine beachfront accommodation at a price that leaves room in your budget for adventure. Wake up to unobstructed views of the South China Sea from your balcony, with soft sandy beach just steps from your door.
The resort sits in a uniquely peaceful position, south of the main Genting jetty, giving guests a sense of tropical seclusion while remaining just a 5 to 10-minute walk from village shops, restaurants, and ferry connections. It is the kind of place where sunset-watching becomes a nightly ritual and the loudest sound is the rhythm of waves on sand.
For divers and snorkelers, the location is hard to beat. The resort is situated right beside Tioman Dive Buddy, a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, offering everything from beginner Discover Scuba Diving experiences to professional-level Divemaster courses. Vibrant coral reefs and marine life are accessible directly from the shoreline — no boat trip required.
