The Malaysian-style
village of Cherating is located 50km from Kuantan and is set on a stunning
bay amidst 200 acres of luxurious, verdant parkland.
The Village is abundant with exotic flora and fauna - wild orchids and
exotic birds, multicolored butterflies and even families of monkeys have
made their home there.
The architecture
is of loyal style, design and inspiration, and most of the buildings are
wooden and set on stilts.
A vast swimming pool is at the center of the village where you can mix and
mingle with a cosmopolitan, largely Asian clientele.
Children are more than welcome from 2 years old at the Children's Club
where they'll have a whale of a time.

Foremost
among Cherating's attractions is the rustic atmosphere and warm hospitality
of the village folk who usually play host to its visitors. To enjoy this
friendly environment, you can arrange to stay at inexpensive village hut.
Cherating also offers the opportunity to shop for souvenirs and to
see how village maidens nimbly weave pandanus leaves into maps, hats,
bags and other handicrafts.

Getting
There....
Visitors
to Cherating should make prior arrangements with the hotels for
pick-up services at Kuantan town or from the airport. Traveling by taxi or
self-drive car are the most practical modes of the transportation to
reach Cherating.
Any express or local bus between Kuala Terengganu and Kuantan will drop
you off at Cherating, which lies within easy walking distance. Two
rough tracks lead from the road down into the main part of the village,
about five minutes' away although the one nearest the bridge is the most
direct.
