"Endless Blue Sea.." - Pulau Perhentian Besar

One of East Coast Malaysia's Treasure

The bigger of the two Perhentian Islands, the Perhentian Besar Island appeals to people who came with families and those who are looking for a quieter vacation.

This is where all the proper resorts with hot shower, swimming pool, spas are located such as Perhentian Island Resort, Arwana Perhentian and Tuna Bay Resort. However, do not worry, there are also lots of nice, basic chalets like Abdul Chalet and Paradise Resort that you can choose for the budget travelers.

Since Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil is just right next to each other, most of the travel tips can be applied to both islands such as transportation, things to do and general tips etc. So, kindly refer to my Perhentian Kecil travel tips for the infos. If you have more questions, do write to me! :o)*
