The Perhentian Islands are situated off the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsular. It is made up of two main islands - Pulau Perhentian Kecil and Pulau Perhentian Besar. We are located on the bigger island, Perhentian Besar.

​

You can only get to the Perhentian Islands from the Kuala Besut Jetty by boat.

​
