After 30 - 45 minutes speed boat transfer from Kuala Besut Jetty, the laid back atmosphere and the natural beauty of the Perhentian Island immediately transport you to a different world. The clean, white sandy
beach, crystal clear water, amazing underwater landscape, various
species of colorful underwater creatures, friendly people, scrumptious
local and international delights, refreshing beverages and once the sun
sets, a quiet buzz of music and chatter fills the air along with the
wisp of smoke from the barbecue fire along the beach make you forget
about the time.
Perhentian Island, consist of two island named Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Perhentian Small Island) and Pulau Perhentian Besar (Perhentian Big Island). The word "Perhentian" means "a place to stop" as it functioned as a stopping point for traders travelling between Malaysia and Bangkok in years gone by. These two island are a gorgeous place to stop and rest today as it recently listed as the 13th most beautiful beaches by the CNN. It is a great stop to disconnect from the stressful environments and daily routine.
These islands remain relatively untouched and the Fisherman Village on Perhentian Small Island is the only permanent inhabitants. There are no roads on the island apart form footpaths that cuts through the jungle. the only way to get around is by walking through the jungle or taking the water taxi. While walking around, you may notice and counter some wildlife such as the monitor lizards, squirrels, fruits bats, and sometimes snakes.
There are plenty chalet and resort operates on the island. But most of the chalet and resort offers cheap rates due to limited facilities provided such as rooms or chalet without attached bathroom, limited electricity and water supply (available from 7 pm until 7 am). While some chalet and resort did provide rooms with attached bathroom, hot and cold shower, 24 hours electricity and water supply like Ombak Resort and Shari-la Island Resort with a reasonable price.
All of these elements makes the Perhentian Islands the perfect place to stops and take some time out.
