Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
When people think of international beach destinations, locations like The Maldives, Thailand, and the Bahamas will likely come to mind. But Southeast Asia is home to some of the world’s best beaches and Malaysia is definitely no exception. The Perhentian Islands is one of the best-kept secrets in Malaysia. It is composed of two islands, Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil, and is just a short drive from the busy city of Kota Bahru. Perhentian Besar is great for families on vacation and guests who want to enjoy the best and most luxurious experiences that Malaysia has to offer. Meanwhile, budget travelers and backpackers tend to favor the smaller island of Perhentian Kevil.
