Redang Island of Terengganu, Malaysia

What Can I Say About This Island?



Flawless? May be.

Why?

Never heard visitors say something bad about it. Many of them promised to come back. And they did it with someone else or with bigger group for second trip.

Its beaches?

Wow, can't easily find it any where else. It is white, sandy and almost horizontal. Very small wave with crystal clear water. Not dangerous at all to those who can't swim. Even a baby can play with its sand and water.

Can play beach soccer, volleyball or netball even at night.

Can go for snorkeling or scuba diving at the Marine Park for one whole day.

Back to Resort for shower and barbecue for dinner. Can go out for fishing or hitching cuttlefish if you are lucky.

Back to the beach in the early morning and spotted giant leather back turtle if you are much more luckier. You might have a sleepless night then.

There are variety of chalets, resorts and hotels for your accommodation here rating from 3 stars up to 5 stars. I prefer 3 star resort which is isolated from big hotels having discos, karaokes and many visitors. Why? Oh well my dear, you can have those entertainment at your hometown with much better stuff. You come here to enjoy the nature....not the joint. So, try to search for a resort having its own beach, not sharing with other chalets or hotels. Try Mutiara Beach Resort then. They have beautiful beach for their own guests only. I have been there many times before with my family. Just click the resort's name in your PC, you will find it. It is suitable for medium budget travellers.

But if you are a rich visitor, you can go to Berjaya Redang Resort and Spa by air. Just fly for a few minutes from Kuala Terengganu and landing on the Island safely. I would like to go there one day if I have extra money to spend. The following pictures are the real appearance of Berjaya Redang Resort. I am impressed.

Can go there with shuttle if you are scared of traveling by boat or ferry.

Welcome to Redang Island, the jewel of Terengganu.

Introducing Terengganu to you

What Is So Special About Terengganu?

Here is my thoughts about the state

This article is addressed to those, who haven't arrived here yet; or to those who don't even heard about this state of Malaysia so far. You must know and learn about this state, come and make your own valuation about it. Then you will find out that the state is really, really special not only for you alone but, also for your beloved spouse, family, friends and neighbors.

Beaches?

the beach of Batu Buruk

Well, if you are crazy about beach, please do not hesitate to come here. There are plenty locations for you to choose the beach for free of charge, (save for your own cost for hiring a tourist guide). This is very important because you are new here and you don't know where to go to the places of interest here. So long as you do not trespass private properties, you may consider the beach you choose is belonging to the public, and you are one of them. You may locate the beach within the town or downtown. It is very easy.

Trust me, it is a beautiful white powder sandy beach, rich with silicon. Then comes the crystal clear water for you to swim. But, always remember that the beach is subject to the monsoon season. So, if you are seeking for the beach, do not come here during the monsoon because the water is treacherous with big waves and strong wind. But, plenty alternatives are available here for you to explore then, apart from the beaches.

You may find the beach alongside the state's coastline stretching from the District of Besut in the northen region up to the District of Kemaman in the southern region. Honestly, there are too much beach waiting for you here......

Islands?
