Minang Cove Resort

Minang Cove is a family-run resort of about 10 rooms in Teluk Bayan, a small cove beside Kampung Mukut on Tioman’s south coast, with rainforest behind. It opened in 1996 as a dive centre and is reached only by boat.

Rooms range from lagoon- and sea-view rooms to suites, a family cabin and two villas. Rates include breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, with a themed dinner each night, plus the speedboat from Genting or Mukut jetty. Masks and snorkels are free, and the reef starts off the beach and jetty; the resort also runs dives, kayak hire, a spa and boat trips. Guest reviews from May to September 2026 single out the staff and the snorkelling.

The catch is season and remoteness. The resort closed after October 2026 and says it will be back in 2027, so check dates before booking. Booking direct means paying in full with no refund, only a change of dates within the same year. Wi-Fi is in the common areas only, and Booking.com guests score it 6.7 out of 10. Mukut is a 45-minute walk or a boat ride away, supplies arrive once a week, and one 2025 guest called breakfast simple.
