Perhentian Island Resort is an ideal beach resort for a leisurely family vacation in Malaysia. Surrounded by lush greenery, facing white sandy beaches and a warm blue sea, Perhentian Island is a holiday paradise not to be missed.

Perhentian Island, or Pulau Perhentian as the locals call it, is well known as a marine paradise and forms part of the National Marine Park of Malaysia.

In the surrounding areas of Perhentian Island Resort, you will find many things to see and do. Take a jungle trek up the hills under a canopy of large trees, and you might see wild magpies, giant fruit bats, or the Nicobar pigeon.
