For almost total isolation, head to NIPAH on Tioman's southwest coast. Comprising a clean, empty beach of coarse, yellow sand and a landlocked lagoon, there's no village to speak of here, but there is a Dive Centre and canoeing. You might be lucky enough to get a ferry from the mainland to drop you here since there is an adequate jetty, but it's more likely that you'll have to come by sea taxi from Genting, costing around RM30 per person. There's only one place to stay : the Nipah Resort (tel 011/764184; $10-15), offering basic chalets and more expensive A-frames, as well as a nicely designed restaurant; the food can get a little monotonous. The air-con longhouse, Nipah Paradise, at the far end, caters only for pre-booked packages from Singapore.
