Pulau Perhentian is located on the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia, close
to the Thai border. Perhentian consist of a small group of islands, the main
ones are Pulau Perhentian Besar (Big Island) and Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small
Island).
The Main resorts are located around these two islands, and the remaining surrounding
islands are not inhabited. Pulau Perhentian is famous for its peacefulness,
clear warm water, rich marine life, and white sandy beaches. It has all the
qualities a dream paradise island needs. The beaches are untouched; its beauty
is unknown.
The word Perhentian means Stopping
Over in the local language, because during bad weather the fishermen
will flock to the 2 main islands to seek shelter.
Pulau Perhentian is under the protection of the Marine Park of Malaysia, therefore
the surrounding islands are well protected and the fish life is abundant.
Diving season: End of February to November
Monsoon: November - February
