The Jerai Hill Resort sits on Mount Jerai, the hill that rises above the town of Gurun in the northern Malaysian state of Kedah. Its address on Traveloka is Jalan Kaki Bukit, Lebuhraya Gurun, Mount Jerai, Gurun, Kedah 08300, and Traveloka files it under the Mount Jerai area of Gurun rather than in the town itself. That hillside position is the property's defining trait: this is a resort reached by road up the mountain, not a roadside hotel in the town centre below.
Two details in Traveloka's listing data set the property apart. First, the resort was built in 2009. Second, the property notes that it was previously named The Regency Jerai Hill Resort, so travellers who come across that older name on maps, reviews or older travel guides are looking at the same resort under its earlier branding. Today it trades simply as The Jerai Hill Resort.
The Jerai Hill Resort is a 4-star resort with 74 rooms and two restaurants, according to Traveloka's property data. The listing describes it as suited to families and to guests looking for a quiet getaway away from crowds, and its facility list backs that up with an outdoor pool, a children's pool, a children's play area, a garden and a games room. Meeting and conference facilities are also listed, which makes the resort an option for small retreats and company gatherings as well as leisure stays.
One practical point matters more here than at most hotels: the property's check-in instructions state that guests are not allowed to drive their own vehicles up to the resort and need to arrange a service van from the foothill. Read the Getting There section below and confirm the current access arrangement with the resort before you travel.
Traveloka's data lists 74 rooms at The Jerai Hill Resort. The room-level feed for this property does not break those rooms down into named categories, so the current line-up of room types, bed configurations and maximum occupancy is best checked on the room selection screen of the listing when you pick your dates. What the property-level data does confirm is set out below.
Family rooms are listed among the resort's general facilities. For a property that also lists a children's pool, a children's play area and a games room, this is the room category most relevant to parents travelling with children. Room sizes, bed arrangements and how many guests each family room takes are not stated in the structured data, so compare the options shown for your dates and check the occupancy line for each before booking.
Beyond family rooms, the specific room categories offered at The Jerai Hill Resort vary with availability and are displayed per date on the listing. If you are booking for a group, it is worth checking whether several rooms of the same type are available for your nights, since a 74-room resort can fill quickly around school holidays and long weekends.
Traveloka's in-room facility list for The Jerai Hill Resort includes air conditioning, cable TV, a TV, a desk, a hairdryer, a minibar, a refrigerator and a shower. These are recorded at property level, so not every item is guaranteed in every room; check the per-room amenities shown on the listing for the room you choose. Rooms run on a 240-volt supply, which is worth knowing if you are bringing chargers or appliances from overseas.
For a resort of its size, The Jerai Hill Resort lists a broad spread of leisure and family facilities. Traveloka's facility data groups them as follows.
The mix of archery, badminton and a games room alongside the pools gives The Jerai Hill Resort more to do on site than many hill resorts, which helps on a stay where heading back down the mountain for every activity is not practical. An area shuttle is listed as available with a surcharge; check with the resort for what it covers. Traveloka's data records that an airport transfer is not offered.
The Jerai Hill Resort is on Mount Jerai above Gurun, in Kedah. The listed address places it off the Gurun road at the foot of the hill (Jalan Kaki Bukit, Lebuhraya Gurun), with the resort itself on the mountain. Its map position on Traveloka is approximately 5.796 N, 100.435 E, which is the most reliable reference point to load into a navigation app.
This is the most important practical detail for any stay. According to the check-in instructions in the listing, guests are not allowed to drive their own transport up to The Jerai Hill Resort and need to rent a service van from the foothill. Plan your arrival time around that transfer rather than around the 14:00 check-in alone, and contact the resort ahead of your trip to confirm where the van departs, how often it runs and whether you need to book a seat. The resort's contact details appear in the check-in instructions on the listing.
Gurun is in Kedah, a state whose larger towns include Sungai Petani and Alor Setar, and the final stretch to the resort is by road. If you are travelling from Singapore or another country, you can compare flights to northern Malaysia on Traveloka and then continue overland to the foot of Mount Jerai, where the service van takes over. As the property does not offer an airport transfer, arrange your own onward road transport to the foothill in advance.
Because the resort sits on the mountain and private cars cannot be driven up, most guests will eat on site, and The Jerai Hill Resort is set up for that. Traveloka's data lists two restaurants and a coffee shop, with breakfast, a buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch and à la carte dinner all recorded. The listing describes the kitchen as serving special cuisines prepared for resort guests; check with the restaurant team for current menus and opening times.
Breakfast is listed as an extra charge rather than automatically included, so check whether the rate you select at The Jerai Hill Resort already bundles it. Room service is recorded as available 24 hours, which is useful after a late arrival up the hill or for families with young children who prefer to eat in the room. If you plan to explore Kedah beyond the mountain, browse things to do and attractions on Traveloka to fill the days either side of your stay.
The strongest reason to choose The Jerai Hill Resort is the setting. Staying on a mountain rather than in a town shapes the whole experience, and the resort is built around that: pools, a garden, outdoor sports and a quiet atmosphere described in the listing as far away from the crowds.
The trade-off is access. Guests who want to come and go freely by car may prefer a hotel in Gurun town or nearby Sungai Petani, while those who want to settle in on the mountain for a night or two will find The Jerai Hill Resort suits that style of stay. To weigh it against alternatives, you can compare other hotels and resorts on Traveloka.
Booking through Traveloka keeps your reservation, payment and e-voucher in one place, and you can manage the booking from the app if plans change, subject to the conditions of your chosen rate. When you are ready to plan the rest of your trip, start from the Traveloka homepage.
If The Jerai Hill Resort is unavailable for your dates or you would like to compare options elsewhere in Kedah, these properties are also listed on Traveloka, from the towns of Sungai Petani and Alor Setar to the island of Langkawi.
