Discover one of Malaysia’s most loved island getaways, the Perhentian Islands. Swim among lively marine life and colorful corals in clear blue water on your snorkeling or diving trip. Enjoy the gentle sea breeze, stretch out on soft white sand, and soak up the warm sun.
About 21 kilometers from Terengganu, these islands draw visitors from near and far every year. The quieter months are February, March, and October, while June to August is the busiest time. Rooms fill up fast, so it is wise to plan and book early.
Stay at Samudra Chalet on Perhentian Besar, a simple and friendly place right by the beach. With palm trees around and the sea just steps away, it offers basic but comfortable rooms and a calm, welcoming feel. Ideal for those who want an easygoing stay close to the water and nature, Samudra Chalet is a great choice to enjoy slow island life and clear, peaceful mornings.
