Every breath is pure refreshment, a relaxation of the soul, a pure journey of revival. In Malay this is called Sucimurni. In Malaysia, it is Tanjong Jara. The philosophy of Sucimurni emphasizes purity of spirit, health, and well-being. And the award winning Spa Village Tanjong Jara is a sanctuary anchored in this ancient Malay way of life. This beautiful complex of structures, gardens and pools, houses a therapy centre featuring programs for relaxation, reinvigoration and stress relief based on traditional healing methods. These unique restorative Malay treatments have been handed down from generation to generation, ensuring their authenticity, and therapeutic value. With a history of more than a thousand years, the practices are believed to have their origins in the convergence of Malay, Arab, Indian and Chinese influences during the days of the Malacca Sultanate. |

The Mandi Bunga ceremony originated in the royal palaces where it was part of the formal procedures in the coronation of the new king. The common custom for it today is for coming of age celebrations. It is believed that one will find a good soul mate if one undergoes this ritual. Mandi Bunga is also practised by the Malay healer to rid the body of negative energies. The most common tradition for Mandi Bunga is in Malay wedding preparations. Seven days before the wedding ceremony, the couple will go through this ritual. The Seven Steps to Heaven or Syurga Tujuh programme offers an antidote to today’s stress-filled 24/7 lifestyle, and is the core experience in Spa Village Tanjong Jara. Tanjong Jara Resort is home to Spa Village Tanjong Jara, a sanctuary anchored in this ancient Malay way of life and also to its resident Malay healer Yahaya Bin Mamat or as he is more affectionately known, Pak Yahya.
