Bits about the Paradise Island

After less than an hour on a boat from the east coast of Malaysia, the laid-back atmosphere and the natural beauty of the Perhentian islands immediately transport you to a different world. The white sand is dotted with sun-worshipping holiday makers, some retreating to the shade for a glass of freshly squeezed juice. A group of scuba divers are boarding a boat to venture out into the turquoise waters and submerge themselves in the underwater wonderland. Later, as the sun sets, a quiet buzz of music and chatter fills the air, together with the thin wisp of smoke from the barbeque fire. 
The Perhentian Islands are two islands named Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island) andPulau Perhentian Besar (Large Perhentian Island). The Malay name Perhentian is translated as “place to stop” and this is exactly what these two islands were for traders travelling between Malaysia and Bangkok in years gone by. These islands are still a gorgeous place to stop and rest today, albeit for tourists disconnecting from the stress and routine of everyday life and not for weary seafaring traders. 


The islands remain relatively untouched and the only permanent inhabitants live in a small fishing village on Perhentian Kecil. Apart from footpaths that cut through the jungle, there are no roads on the islands. The only way to get around is by walking through the jungle or taking a sea taxi. If you tread carefully, you may even encounter some of the islands’ shy wildlife on the way, such as monitor lizards, fruit bats, squirrels or even the elusive mouse deer. Simple chalets and some moderately luxurious resorts line the picturesque beaches along with restaurants, dive centres and boat operators advertising their services with hand-painted signs.

Perhaps it is the stretches of white beach or the crystal clear water and the superior scuba diving. Perhaps it is the untouched forests or the relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled charm. We like to think that is a little bit of all of this that makes the Perhentian Islands the perfect place to stop and take some time out.


Accomodation

There are plenty of budget and midrange accommodation options on the Perhentian Islands, with one or two more comfortable resorts, but nothing luxurious. During weekends, Malaysian public holidays and the peak season (July-August) prices rise along with demand and it is best to book ahead (where possible – most budget resorts do not accept bookings). 

Perhentian Kecil is more geared towards the budget traveller and the backpacker scene, especially along the idyllic Long Beach (Pasir Panjang). A fifteen minute walk through the jungle takes you toCoral Bay (Teluk Aur), which is smaller and quieter, while also predominantly catering for budget travellers. The other resorts on this island occupy their own private beach coves and are priced in the budget or moderate category. There are also a few uninhabited, secluded beaches scattered around the island. 

Perhentian Besar is the larger of the two islands and resorts here are more geared towards families and also towards scuba divers. The northernmost, nicest bay is called Teluk Pauh and is where you will find the Perhentian Island Resort.  A walkway connects you to the main west coast beachesfacing Perhentian Kecil, each with a cluster of resorts, dive centres and restaurants and separated by rocky headlands. The southern beach, Teluk Dalam has a wide curve of sand, a handful of resorts and is the quietest beach on this island. 

Apart from walking, sea taxis are the only way to get around. Expect to pay RM 10 – 25 per person per trip (5-15 minutes).

Paradise island - Part 2

 Haluu haluu.. here are more shots of our Perhentian Trip... heheh it was a sunny Friday afternoon as we arrived in the beautiful paradise of Pulau Perhentian Kechil. It was quite a breathtaking sight- filled with blue skies, breezy wind, calm waves and gorgeous blue sea... it was a heaven paradise.

 I never realised how lucky we Malaysians to have such a beautiful paradise right under our nose. It was an ultimate getaway for those who seek to runaway from the city life. it was our perfect beach holiday.

From Perhentian with Looove - Part 1

Here's a lil sneek preview of our fabulous Island Paradise trip to Perhentian Island last weekend.. hehe :)

spot the island?

Verify first okeeeeh

Jus got a few confusing links - one says Ikea is currently close for 'samak' procedure.. another says its halal through its spokesperson En. Roslan..

since ikea's meatballs are everyone's fave - i thought id like to share this to the readers out there. At least one blogger took the initiative to inquire about the sijil (despite its unavailability to public's eyes)...

Anyways for whatever it says: only Jakim will have the last say whether its Halal or not. at least one thing we get to find out for good if we can actually eat the meatballs or are they just the same as they are like any other Ikea's the rest of the world.
One thing confuses me though: Why is the sijil Halal not publicly shown? why the discrepancy? what are they hiding? hmmm...... and the questions goes on and on...

Anyways here's Except from http://yanmieonline.com/2011/05/ikea-foodcourt-ikea-meatball-tak-halal/
