Exploring Perhentian Islands: Bliss & the Marriott Found?

Join us on a captivating journey as we explore the enchanting Perhentian Islands. Embarking from Penang, our scenic drive of 6 hours included a delightful pit stop at a charming resort, adding a touch of luxury to our adventure. Whether you opt for a leisurely bus ride or a swift flight to the neighbouring town, a mere stone's throw from the dock, where awaits a 30-minute water taxi ride to the islands, costing a nominal 70 Ringgit per person.
We consider it a privilege to have shared this memorable escapade with esteemed author H.P. Muirhead, whose captivating literary works can be found on Amazon.
Within our video, we offer glimpses of the cozy accommodations at our chosen hotel, conveniently surrounded by an array of restaurants just a few minutes stroll away. Snorkelling enthusiasts will delight in the ease of access to vibrant underwater wonders, mere steps from our hotel's shoreline.
For those seeking culinary diversity, we recommend selecting accommodations nestled amidst a cluster of resorts and hotels. Conversely, if privacy is your preference, opt for the secluded charm of island-exclusive retreats. Fear not, for water taxis readily ferry guests to explore the diverse culinary offerings scattered across the islands.
Embarking on a picturesque water taxi ride, we journeyed to the picturesque Perhentian Kecil, where we stumbled upon a pristine expanse of white sandy beaches, adorning the shores of Long Beach. Here, a well-appointed hotel awaits, boasting modern amenities including a refreshing pool. Additionally, on the beachfront, a building adorned with solar panels harnesses the sun's energy, showcasing a commitment to sustainable practices. For those seeking a closer connection with nature, charming tents are available for rent, provided by a separate company, offering a unique island experience amidst the tranquil surroundings.
Venturing further, rumours led us to the discovery of an unexpected gem—a Marriott hotel nestled amidst the simplicity of these natural island retreats. While the islands may pose challenges for those with mobility limitations, the Marriott offers a sanctuary to indulge in the beauty and tranquillity these islands have to offer.
Of course, for those seeking a more authentic island experience, rustic resorts brimming with character await, complemented by the convenience of water taxi transportation. Embrace the absence of roads as you immerse yourself in the unparalleled charm of the Perhentian Islands.
