Most Beautiful Place in Malaysia 🇲🇾 Perhentian Islands 

During our time in Malaysia, we've heard a lot about the Perhentian Islands. These islands are known by locals and foreigners as the best beaches in all of Malaysia (which is saying something!). The Perhentian Islands are made up of two main islands - Perhentian Besar (the big island) and Perhentian Kecil (the small island) and tourists can book accommodations on either of these magical destinations. We chose to stay on Perhentian Kecil (the small island) for it's more local feel, and we were really happy with out choice :)
You might be wondering what there is to do on an island with no motorized vehicles and very few inhabitants. The answer is not much and also, so much (if you count relaxing)! The island life pace is exactly what we were hoping for, and you can easily do a whole lot of nothing here. Reading a book on Coral Beach, having a cocktail at Long Beach, and strolling the sand at sunset were some of our favourite activities. If you're feeling a bit more active and adventurous, you can easily rent snorkeling gear and go on a snorkel trip or snorkel right off the beach. Our preference is to go scuba diving though, so that's exactly what we did! You'll have to watch the video to see what we thought of that experience though :)
If you are someone who loves beaches and are looking for a relaxing few days or weeks in Malaysia, we would recommend the Perhentian Islands for sure! To get there, we took an overnight bus from Penang which was totally doable, but you could also catch a flight to Kota Bharu and head a south from there. It is a bit out of the way from the rest of Malaysia's major tourist destination, but in our opinion, it is worth every minute of transit!! If we had been able, we would have stayed for a minimum of one week and even checked out Perhentian Besar.
Malaysia has some amazing beach locations but for some reason, these destinations are less well known in Southeast Asia than the beaches of Thailand or the Philippines. If you get a chance, you should take advantage of this before everyone starts rushing to the Perhentians! These beautiful islands are bound to be discovered by the masses before too long!

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on RU-vid, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the
