Nadia Inn

Nadia Inn is a collection of wooden bungalows that were designed to be beautifully ensconced into the emerald jungle hillside of southern Salang Bay. Nadia Inn is the gorgeous looking resort that you can't miss the moment you enter Salang Bay. Unfortunately, that is all the good that can be said about Nadia Inn.

Debacle

Sadly, Nadia Inn's awesome hillside chalets and breathtaking location notwithstanding, the resort hasn't had a single room occupied since the day it was completed, around the mid-1990's. Apparently, Nadia Inn couldn't be declared safe by the Tioman's officials in charge, because the resort's foundations didn't meet the building code requirements for hillside construction.

In light of this serious safety issue, Nadia Inn's owner never did receive the permit needed to begin operations of what, undoubtedly, would otherwise have been Salang's most desirable resort. The view from Nadia Inn alone is simply unbeatable:

Unhappy End

Nadia Inn, a sad tale of lofty ambitions and superb potential, all of which came tumbling down through a simple building code error that by the time it was discovered, was too proliferated to undo, let alone correct.

[Edit: If you're planning to visit this part of Salang, note that the wooden footbridge to Nadia Inn that was built over the rocks is no longer structurally sound and, as such, is no longer safe to traverse. Additionally, huge bee commnunities have colonized the area. This particular bee species is fiercely territorial and will attack interlopers in angry swarms. Hence this word of warning: Better not go up the hillside, for obvious reasons.]
