Perhentian Islands: When Leonardo Di Caprio chose Thailand to be the location of his movie, The Beach, he obviously has not heard of Perhentian Islands yet, or he would have chosen otherwise. In the North East Terengganu at East Coast of Malaysia you will find two islands lined with rustic beach huts by the shore. It has become such a popular destination for many tourists and beach lovers because of its pristine white sand and clear blue waters. You would not even mind that accommodation is not first class because the breathtaking view of the beach is even more divine than any luxury hotel can manage. A paradise like no other, Perhentian Islands is a great place for you to go.

Redang Island: Not far from Perhentian Islands is that of Redang. In total it comprises nine smaller islands. Among the east coast islands this is the largest and arguably the most developed too. Designated as a marine park it’s a fantastic place for divers and snorkelers to enjoy the collection of coral reefs and various marine life.

Langkawi Island: The UNESCO has recently awarded Langkawi Islands the geopark status. It is composed of ninety-nine islands and it is the site for the most luxurious hotels in Malaysia. Around forty minutes from the city of Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi is a paradise that should be on top of your list of places to visit. Stay at the Four Seasons, The Andman, Casa de Mar and The Datai; and experience paradise in different way.

Pangkor Laut Island : Off the coast of Perak State, north of Selangor , lies a cluster of fabulous islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. Among them, two islands predominate in terms of accessibility, infrastructure and development – the largest island, Pangkor and her sister Pangkor Laut. Upon the island of Pangkor Laut is the Pangkor Laut Resort which is renowned as one of the best hotels in Malaysia, if not the world. It has won a number of awards over the past decade and for this alone the islands are well worth a visit!

Tioman Island: This place is popular for its beautiful soft and sandy beaches, where a great collection of underwater creatures and coral reefs can be found. It is a magnificent location to go snorkeling and even hiking, and while you are there you can stay at the Japamala Resort.

Rawa Island: Only a few miles from Tioman Island and offering similar luxuries is that of Rawa Island. This is privately owned and there is only one hotel on the island which may seem very limiting. However, its very exclusive and somewhat untouched.

Sipadan Island: Rated as one of the top five diving spots in the world, Sipadan Island is situated just off the coast of Sabah, Borneo – Malaysia’s eastern island, and previously known as North Borneo. The island did have a reputation as being a hunting ground for pirates but now its known not for its piracy but for its wonderful and luxurious beauty.
