Teluk Dalam Redang: a northern base explained
You want a quieter corner of Redang and wonder what the northern bay offers.
Teluk Dalam is a resort area in the north of Redang, one of three the research names beside the large Pasir Panjang beach [1]. Choose it if you want to step away from the main strip and are happy to ask careful questions. One listed stay, Redang De’ Rimba, is not beachfront and sits a 10 to 15 minute walk from the sand [2].
For the island as a whole, see our Pulau Redang island guide. To compare the main beach, read Pasir Panjang Redang.
What does research say about the north?
Very little, and that is worth saying plainly.
Teluk Dalam is named as a resort area [1]. One stay at Teluk Dalam is described as not beachfront and as having a basic restaurant [2]. The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort is listed on the north coast, though a claim that it was formerly Redang Berjaya is unverified [3].

Why does the walk to the beach matter?
A 10 to 15 minute walk is fine for some guests and tiring for others. Think about a toddler, a grandparent, wet towels at midday and a heavy bag on arrival. Ask whether the path is paved, shaded and lit, and whether the resort offers a buggy or a boat.
Our guides on beachfront versus near-beach rooms on islands and jetty-to-room distance and walking paths help you weigh this.
How do you get there?
Most guests leave from Merang, where the speedboat takes about 45 minutes [4]. Ask each northern stay where its boat lands and how you reach the room from there. Our page on the Merang jetty and arrival covers the road side.
Who is a northern base a better fit for?
A northern base may be a better fit if:
- you want to be away from the busiest strip.
- you are happy with a simpler restaurant and fewer options.
- you can manage a short walk to the beach.
Another area may be a better fit if:
- you travel with a stroller or someone who tires easily.
- you want the beach at your door.
- you want a wide choice of resorts to compare.
What should you confirm before you book?
- How far is my room from the sand, and what is the path like?
- Does the stay run its own boat, and where does it land?
- Which meals are included, and what does the restaurant serve?
- Where can I snorkel, and is there a house reef?
- How many rooms does the stay have, and is there a bar or music?
- What are your season dates, and what happens if the boat cannot sail?
Keep the answers in writing and compare them with a quote from a Pasir Panjang resort. Our Redang De’ Rimba page shows what we have confirmed for that stay, and you can send us your dates for help.
Common questions
What is Teluk Dalam on Redang?
Teluk Dalam is a resort area in the north of Redang, alongside Pasir Panjang on the east and Teluk Kalong in the south. Research gives few details, so ask each stay how far its rooms are from the sand and how guests reach the boat.
Is Teluk Dalam quiet?
No source we checked rates it for noise. The northern position and the small number of listed stays suggest a calmer feel, but that is a reasoned guess. Ask each stay about its room count, restaurant hours and neighbours.
Is the stay at Teluk Dalam beachfront?
Redang De' Rimba is at Teluk Dalam but is not beachfront, with a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach and a basic restaurant, per one listing. Other stays may differ, so ask for the walking time and path conditions.
Which stays are in the north?
The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort is listed on the north coast, though booking sites' claim that it was formerly Redang Berjaya is unverified. Confirm each stay's location, its beach access and its meals in writing.
