Teluk Siang Redang: choosing a southern base

Teluk Siang is the southern bay noted for a larger resort, Berjaya Redang Island Resort. It has 97 rooms per Berjaya and does not state its meal plans on its site ^[1].

That is the solid part. A few other details about southern Redang are unverified, and this page marks each one.

For the island as a whole, see our Pulau Redang island guide. For the resort itself, read our Berjaya Redang Island Resort page.

What is confirmed about Teluk Siang?

Teluk Siang is listed in the south, with Berjaya’s resort noted there ^[2]. Berjaya’s site gives the room count and location, and does not state meal plans ^[1]. Berjaya also says it owns two Redang resorts, though it does not name the other.

	What is known
Area	Teluk Siang, south of Redang
Resort	Berjaya Redang Island Resort
Rooms	97 per Berjaya
Meal plans	Not stated on its site
Second Berjaya property	Not named

What is unverified?

Booking sites say The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort on the north coast was formerly Redang Berjaya ^[3]. That conflicts with Berjaya’s own statement, so treat it as unverified. If you see two Berjaya-linked names, ask each resort in writing which property you are booking, where it sits and what it includes.

Do not rely on a booking site’s room photos alone. Ask for photos of the exact room type and the beach in front of it.

How do you get there?

Most guests leave from Merang, where the speedboat takes about 45 minutes ^[4]. Ask whether the resort arranges the boat, which pier you use and how you reach your room from the landing. See Merang jetty and how arrival works.

How does it compare with Pasir Panjang?

	Teluk Siang	Pasir Panjang
Position	South	East, largest beach
Resorts	A larger one noted	About six
Choice	Fewer to compare	More to compare
Noise	Not measured	Not measured

If you want a wider choice of quotes, start at Pasir Panjang. If you are comparing two southern or main-strip resorts, read Redang Island Resort versus Laguna Redang.

What should you ask the resort?

• Which meals are included in the room rate?
• What is the room count, and where are the pool and restaurant relative to my room?
• Is the boat from Merang included, and when does it leave?
• Is there a house reef, and where do snorkel trips depart?
• What are the season dates, and what happens if the boat cannot sail?

Use the resort inclusion comparator to line up two written quotes.

A better fit if

A larger resort may be a better fit if:

• you are a couple who wants services and a pool in one place.
• you prefer a set package with a fixed boat.
• you value written policies over improvising.

A smaller stay may be a better fit if you want fewer guests and a simpler place. Send us your dates and we will help you compare.
