> Status on 2 November 2026: this promotion has ended. The last check-out was 1 November, the promotion's page now reads "Packages & Room Rates Not Available", and Laguna Redang has listed no 2027 package yet. The prices below are a record, useful for judging the next card. If you want Redang before March, The Taaras is selling until 31 December.
Is it still on?
No. We opened Laguna Redang Island Resort's rates page on 2 November 2026, and the whole page is down to one line: Packages & Room Rates Not Available. The old link to this promotion shows the same line. That covers everything the resort sold in 2026, from the 2D1N room-with-breakfast to the honeymoon package, because all of them stopped on 2 November.
The resort's own booking lines are still published (+609.6310.888 and +603.6142.1188), so a call is the only way to ask about 2027 today. Its FAQ says many beach resorts close from November to February and typically reopen in March. It gives no 2027 date for itself, and neither do we.
The 2026 card is still worth reading if you plan to go next year. It shows how far Laguna will cut at the end of a season, which rooms it cuts hardest, and what the extras and refund terms look like. It does not tell you what 2027 will cost.
Where to stay on Redang now
The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort is the Redang option we could confirm on 2 November. Its FAQ says it "is open all year long", because its private beach is protected by two bays. It is also the expensive end of the island, and its packages work differently from Laguna's, with breakfast rather than every meal.
- Seasonal Stay Privileges: RM850 nett for two people. One night in a Garden Suite with breakfast, the return boat between Merang Waterfront Jetty and Redang Jetty, and the shuttle to the resort. Boat at 12 noon out and 9am back. Book and stay by 31 December 2026. Full payment is non-refundable.
- Tropical Island Indulgence: from RM1,993 nett per person on a twin share, so RM3,986 for two. Two nights with breakfast, one set dinner, one snorkelling trip, one hour of kayaking and a mini bar. Book by 29 December for stays to 31 December. Cancelling within 7 days of arrival costs 100%. The boat is not in the inclusions list, so ask about it before you pay.
- Little Explorers Getaway: from RM4,900 nett for two adults and two children, with the same inclusions plus the kids' club and a sand castle kit, on the same dates and the same cancellation rule.
Against Laguna's old Standard twin, that is RM425 a head for one night at The Taaras, compared with RM638 a head for two nights and all meals at Laguna. It is not the same kind of holiday, and it is not the same kind of price.
If the sea is the worry, stay on the mainland. Resorts World Kijal's The Suite Life is 2D1N in a Deluxe Suite with breakfast for two at RM600 nett, or RM546 nett for a Genting Rewards member, and needs no boat at all.
The weather is the real risk in this window. MetMalaysia said on 23 October that the 2026/27 northeast monsoon would begin on 27 October and last until March 2027, with three to five episodes of heavy rain from November to January and rough seas possible in the South China Sea. Laguna's FAQ says the monsoon has been arriving as late as December, and this year it did not. Read our guide to east coast monsoon closures before you pay for anything non-refundable.
What the promotion was
The 3 Days 2 Nights Year End Promotion 2026 was a separate, cheaper rate card for the last four weeks of Laguna's season. It took check-ins from 7 October 2026 with a stated last check-out of 1 November. We read the promotion page, the regular 3 Days 2 Nights Deluxe Package page, the surcharge calendar and the FAQ on 12 September 2026, and priced the two cards against each other room by room. The sections below are that reading, and the rates are the 2026 ones.
The price, room by room
These were the per-adult prices for the full three days and two nights. The Year End figure comes first, with the resort's regular 3D2N Deluxe Package rate in brackets.
- Standard: twin RM638 (RM758), triple RM578 (RM678), single RM938 (RM1,058)
- Superior Garden: twin RM748 (RM1,028), triple RM678 (RM898), single RM1,248 (RM1,528)
- Deluxe Garden: twin RM788 (RM1,068), triple RM708 (RM938), quad RM658 (RM868), single RM1,288 (RM1,568)
- Deluxe Pool: twin RM868 (RM1,158), triple RM768 (RM1,028), quad RM708 (RM968), single RM1,368 (RM1,658)
- Deluxe Sea: twin RM1,128 (RM1,578), triple RM998 (RM1,388), quad RM918 (RM1,278), single RM1,628 (RM2,078)
- Premier Sea: twin RM1,208 (RM1,658), triple RM1,078 (RM1,468), quad RM998 (RM1,358), single RM1,708 (RM2,158)
- Laguna Suite: twin RM1,808 (RM2,308), triple RM1,508 (RM1,958), quad RM1,438 (RM1,818), single RM2,308 (RM2,808)
A child was RM438 on the Year End card and RM638 on the regular one. That figure did not change with the room type, so the RM200 saving per child was the same whether you were in a Standard room or the suite. An infant was RM25 on both cards.
The shape of the discount is what to look for next time. On the cheapest room it was RM120 a head. On a Deluxe Sea or Premier Sea twin it was RM450, and on a Laguna Suite twin it was RM500. So the Year End card was not a flat percentage off. It was a bigger cut on the pricier rooms, and the cheapest bed in the place barely moved.
What the price covered
The Year End package included accommodation, daily buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, the two-way boat transfer between Taman Tamadun Islam Jetty and the resort, and a complimentary snorkelling trip. The resort's line on the gear is specific: snorkelling gear is provided for adults only, and it is returnable at check-out. Guests in a Premier Sea room or a suite also get an optional steamboat set dinner.
That snorkelling detail was one place where the cheaper card was actually the better card. On the regular Deluxe Package, the exclusions list prices a life jacket at RM15 per set and a snorkelling mask at RM15 per set. On the Year End package the only snorkelling items listed as chargeable are the PowerMask at RM35 per set and the kids' mask. Adults get their basic gear thrown in.
What you paid on top
- Marine Conservation Fee, paid on arrival: RM5 per adult and RM2 per child for Malaysians, RM30 per adult and RM15 per child for other nationalities
- Weekend surcharge: RM60 per adult per night and RM30 per child per night, every Friday and Saturday
- Land transfer from Kuala Terengganu Airport or the KT bus terminal to the jetty: RM20 per way for an adult, RM10 for a child
- Snorkelling PowerMask RM35 per set, and the kids' mask
- Tourism tax of RM10 per room per night, which applies to non-Malaysian guests only
Three worked examples
Two adults, Standard room, twin share, checking in on a Wednesday. RM638 each is RM1,276, plus RM5 each for the Marine Conservation Fee, so RM1,286 covers the room, every buffet meal, the boat both ways and the snorkelling trip. The same two adults on the regular package would pay RM1,516 before the conservation fee, so the Year End card saves RM240.
Two adults and one child in a Deluxe Garden room at the triple-share rate. That is RM708 twice plus RM438, or RM1,854. On the regular package the same three people come to RM938 twice plus RM638, or RM2,514. The gap is RM660, and RM200 of it comes from the child rate alone. Which occupancy tier your room is priced at is confirmed on the proforma invoice, so get that in hand before you plan around the number.
Four adults sharing a Deluxe Garden room. RM658 each is RM2,632 against RM3,472 on the regular card, a saving of RM840 for the group. Quad share was where the Year End card was at its most useful, because a Deluxe Garden quad at RM658 a head cost only RM20 more than a Standard twin.
Now the weekend arithmetic. Check in on Friday 9 October and you sleep through Friday and Saturday nights, both of which carry the surcharge. Two adults add RM60 twice each, or RM240, which takes the Standard twin from RM1,276 to RM1,516. The surcharge applies to the regular package too, so the discount does not vanish. But it is a neat way to see the scale of the thing: two adults checking in on a Friday under the promotion pay exactly what two adults checking in midweek pay at the regular rate.
Staying a third night
The rate card has a switch labelled Show Additional Night Rate, and it is easy to scroll past. Turn it on and every room type shows a per-night price for extending the package beyond two nights, per person on the same twin, triple or quad basis:
- Standard: twin RM278, triple RM248, single RM428
- Superior Garden: twin RM338, triple RM298, single RM588
- Deluxe Garden: twin RM358, triple RM318, quad RM288, single RM608
- Deluxe Pool: twin RM398, triple RM348, quad RM318, single RM648
- Deluxe Sea: twin RM528, triple RM458, quad RM418, single RM778
- Premier Sea: twin RM568, triple RM498, quad RM458, single RM818
- Laguna Suite: twin RM868, triple RM718, quad RM678, single RM1,118
- Child: RM208 per extra night in every room type
Two adults stretching a Standard twin to four days and three nights pay RM638 plus RM278 each, or RM1,832 for the pair. Two adults and a child in a Deluxe Garden at the triple rate pay RM708 plus RM318 twice, plus RM438 and RM208 for the child, which comes to RM2,698. The extra night is cheaper than the average night inside the package because the boat transfer and the snorkelling trip are only paid for once. The weekend surcharge is charged per Friday or Saturday night, so an extra night that lands on a Friday or Saturday still costs RM60 more per adult. Every extra night also had to end by the promotion's 1 November last check-out.
October had no peak surcharge at all
The resort runs three surcharge tiers: weekend at RM60 per adult per night, peak at RM80, and super peak at RM140, with child rates at half of each. Its rate pages carry a colour-coded calendar for the whole year.
Read the October calendar and only ten dates are flagged: 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31. Those are the five Friday and Saturday pairs, and all ten carry the weekend colour code. Not a single October or November date is coded peak or super peak. So a Sunday to Wednesday check-in paid the price on the rate card, with nothing added for the calendar. When 2027 rates appear, read the same calendar first, because school holidays and public holidays are what pull the peak and super peak codes back on.
Who it suited, and who should wait for something else
It suited midweek travellers. A Sunday to Wednesday check-in took the full discount with no surcharge.
It suited families. RM438 instead of RM638 was the largest proportional cut on either card.
It suited anyone priced out of a sea-view room. RM1,128 for a Deluxe Sea twin was RM450 below the regular card, and only RM60 above a Deluxe Garden twin on that same regular card.
It did not suit licensed divers, because boat dives sat on a separate 3D2N Diving Deluxe Package, or anyone learning to dive, because the 4D3N PADI Open Water Course Deluxe Package ended on 7 October, the day the promotion opened. Anyone who needed flexibility should also have skipped it, for the reason in the fine print below.
Getting there is a half-day in itself
Boats leave from Taman Tamadun Islam Jetty in Kuala Terengganu, and the resort puts the crossing at about 105 minutes. There are no flights to the island. Redang is within an hour's boat ride of Perhentian and Lang Tengah if you are island-hopping.
You do not book a seat on the resort boat. You turn up at the jetty, find the Laguna Check Point counter and show your proforma invoice. Departure times vary by day and the reservations team confirms yours closer to arrival, so do not build a same-day flight around a time you found online. The resort asks guests to be at the jetty one hour before departure.
Miss the resort boat because a flight ran late and there is a public ferry at 3pm at RM55 per adult one way, which is on you. Getting to the jetty itself from KT airport or the bus terminal is RM20 each way per adult if you use the resort's land transfer.
For a sense of the going rate on the island, Redang Pelangi Resort's own 3D2N snorkelling packages for the 12 March to October 2026 season run RM660 to RM770 per person for a Deluxe twin and RM760 to RM870 for a Deluxe Seaview twin, depending on whether you check in on a weekday, a weekend or a public holiday. Laguna's Year End Standard twin at RM638 undercuts that, while its Deluxe Garden twin at RM788 sits just above it.
How many can share a room, and how you actually pay
The triple and quad rates only help if the room is allowed to hold that many people. On package rates the resort caps a Deluxe or Sea room at six people with a maximum of two mattresses, and a Superior or Standard room at three. That is why the Standard room has no quad price on the rate card at all, and why a family of four chasing the lowest per-head number has to move up to a Deluxe Garden.
The infant line is worth reading twice. The rate card shows RM25, and the resort's reservation policy adds that on package rates a child of 11 months and below stays free sharing a room with a parent, but the boat transfer is still chargeable. The RM25 is the crossing, not the bed.
One number is already settled: the resort states its quoted room rates are in Ringgit and inclusive of the 10% service charge. RM638 is not a pre-service-charge figure waiting to grow.
Payment is a bank transfer, not a card page. The resort asks for prepayment into its Maybank account, or a crossed cheque made out to Laguna Redang Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, with the bank-in slip emailed over afterwards, and staged payment follows each proforma invoice. Reservations run through +609.6310.888, +603.6142.1188 or reservation@lagunaredangtt.com.my, and the operator is a licensed agency, KKKP/KPL 3716/2 and MATTA MA1810.
One inconsistency to settle before you plan your first day: the promotion page puts check-in at 3pm, while the resort's general reservation policy puts it at 2pm. Check-out is 11am on both.
The fine print that caught people
Expect similar terms from the same operator next season, though the 2027 wording is not out.
- Full payment is required when the booking is confirmed, and the terms state that all payments are non-refundable in part or in full, with no amendments allowed after full payment. There is no softer version of this clause on the page.
- The rate is not guaranteed until full payment is received, and an unpaid booking is automatically released for general sale after the cut-off date on your invoice.
- The resort reserves the right to reschedule or cancel a boat departure because of sea and weather conditions, and says the jetty venue itself is subject to change. It also states it is not responsible for additional costs from bad weather or flight delays. The resort recommends travel insurance, and given the refund clause that recommendation is worth taking seriously.
- Room availability is only confirmed when the proforma invoice is issued, and a separate clause says the Deluxe Package rate or rack rate applies during peak occupancy periods.
- Standard rooms are the cheapest for a reason. The resort places them above the dive centre near Laguna Jetty, roughly 250 metres from the resort lobby and the beach.
- Check-in is 3pm and check-out is 11am.
- The 7.30am boat from the resort jetty to Merang Jetty is run by a third party, is chargeable, is subject to availability and must be booked at least two days ahead. The resort takes no responsibility for its delays or cancellations.
When to check for the 2027 card
The resort has not said. Its FAQ says many east coast resorts typically reopen in March, and the 2026 regular season at Redang Pelangi, for comparison, began on 12 March. So start checking the Laguna Redang rates page early in 2027. When a card appears, compare it with the RM758 regular and RM638 year-end Standard twin above, and check whether a separate end-of-season card returns.
