We offer a place for our guests to escape the hustle and bustle of a busy city life.  At Telunas, we aim to provide a simple, yet unforgettable experience.  This is all to give you a chance to relax and clarify your values, needs, and purpose in life.  Finally, we want you to connect to God, yourself, your family, and your surroundings.

Last, but not least, we are faced with the term: DisConnect.  Although the word itself may have a negative connotation, with the influence of technology, to disconnect may not necessarily be a bad thing.  In an article by a recent CNN contributor, Bob Green, Don’t Sleep With Your Phone Nearby, the writer talks about those who are too dependent on their devices.

If it has not done so, we hope that Telunas Beach becomes a place where people disconnect from their phones and laptops, instead giving a place for families and friends to spend quality time together without any distractions.  And for solo travelers, it is a chance to connect with the culture, nature, and even our staff.  As written in the article, when you feel like technology is taking over your life and disrupting your sleep, it may be time for you to consider disconnecting from technology and connect with your loved ones

7th anniversary entrance

In celebration of the event, we held a fusion dinner on the beach complete with door prizes and dancing.  In unique Telunas fashion, guests and staff mingled and enjoyed the pleasant evening and wonderful extended Telunas family.

Here’s what one of our most faithful guests, David Chin, said in reply to our personal invite to the event.  We were completely humbled yet feel this shares the heartbeat of Telunas Beach.

Congratulations on your 7th anniversary and cheers to the Telunas team! Where others just saw a beach, you saw a place for people to find joy in simple things, make friends, and embrace the local Melayu community. You have a special place because while others can try to copy it, they can never grow the heart, soul, and spirit that make Telunas more like home rather than a resort. Telunas and its staff have been a blessing to our family and we’ll be there soon enough to celebrate with you all!

We are grateful for the overwhelming support of our guests, staff, and community. You have made Telunas into what it is today.

The long fall

After 1.5 hours in the jungle we reached the air hitam (the black pool), as locals call it, for the waterfall swim. By that time everyone was ready for a swim! The water was chilly but refreshing and fabulous. We swam and jumped off three different level jumps. The tallest was as tall as the high jump at Telunas!! After about an hour it was time to get ready to head back through the jungle. By the end of our hike we were tired to but excited about all we had been able to see and experience!
