For an unforgettable experience, spend a few days on a Kelong out at sea. A Kelong is a Malay word to describe a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood, and can be found in waters off Malaysia.
Kelongs are built by fishermen primarily for fishing purposes, although larger structures can also function as dwellings for them and their families. They used to be built without the need for nails, using rattan to bind tree trunks and wooden planks together. Anchored into the sea bed using wooden piles of about 20 metres in length and driven about 6 metres into the sea.
A Kelong now offers food and lodging and an opportunity to experience an oasis of tranquility nestled among beautiful islands and untouched by modern development. Your ticket to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy the rustic charm of a fishing outpost, relax and unwind to the sound of gentle waves and savor the beauty of its amazingly beautiful sunrise and sunsets … Go on…engage yourself in some of the most exciting fishing or simply take a dip at the beach on a nearby island. Whatever you choose to do, you are sure to delight in the best nature has to offer at a Kelong. – a floating Resort at Sea.
