Sea Pearl Beach Resort & Spa

Sea Pearl Beach Resort & Spa is a large five-star resort at Jaliapalong, beside Inani Beach on the Marine Drive coast, roughly 40 minutes by road south of Cox's Bazar town. Opened in September 2015 and formerly branded Royal Tulip, it covers around 15 acres and has 493 rooms, from superior doubles and studios to multi-room suites, many with balconies overlooking the garden or the Bay of Bengal.

Facilities are extensive for the area: outdoor pools, a private beach for guests, a water park, a spa, a gym, a games zone and a 3D cinema. Dining is spread across several outlets, including a seafood grill and a Pan-Asian restaurant. Because the resort is far from the town centre, most guests use its paid airport shuttle or hire a car or CNG for trips to the main beach or the Burmese Market. It suits families and couples who want a self-contained resort stay.
