ABOUT ALUNAN RESORT, PERHENTIAN

Inspired by nature, designed for modern simplicity

Blessed with all the trappings of a tropical idyll, our luxury boutique resort is home to 22 intimate, double-storey private suites furnished with modern architecture exclusive only to Alunan Resort in Pulau Perhentian.

Covered in floor-to-ceiling glass panels designed to capture majestic views of the ocean and sprawling rainforest, each suite opens up to a private rooftop sun deck on the top floor where a hammock, sun loungers and a shaded patio awaits.

Unique to Alunan Resort, an open-plan lobby and multi-level beachfront sun decks is the perfect romantic setting to view the vastness of the shimmering South China Sea

The longest steel beams to the finest grains of sand were transported by sea barge
Pre-fabricated methods were employed to facilitate ease of transport and installation by hand.
Most trees were preserved to provide natural shade and prevent soil erosion.
All construction materials were transported by hand
... or using a series of winch systems.
No heavy machinery was used. Foundations were hand excavated to ensure that land contours were preserved.
Where possible, foundations were built upon existing boulders, giving buildings a solid footing and reducing soil erosion.
Buildings were erected around exisitng trees. Construction became more challenging but totally worth it!
Room furniture was handcrafted by skilled craftsmen.
Wood scraps were upcycled to be decorative and functional. Here, they were given a second life as the ceiling of Bayu Restaurant.

Our Construction Journey

The first phase of Alunan Resort was built over 2 years from 2013 to 2015. Our main challenge was the steep undulating terrain and remote site location. We set out to preserve as much of the natural topography and environment as possible, while minimising the impact of the construction. The journey was ardous and we thank you for your support as we embark on a new phase.
