A gorgeous island that's just a hop, skip and jump away


Hello, turtle!

I've had the privilege and luxury of travelling to a multitude of places near and far, and in more recent time, my preoccupation has been on the living world, particularly in our oceans. Our region has some of the most fascinating marine life, and while Sabah’s Mabul and Sipadan islands have drawn international repute and is home to a menagerie of amazing animals, for city dwellers in the peninsula, particularly those in the capital, Redang Island is only a hop, skip and jump away from the daily grind.

The ace up its sleeve is the island is easy to reach from Kuala Lumpur and offers the most accessible spots for snorkelling and scuba diving, given its crystal-clear waters. For a simple and short weekend getaway, Redang is hard to beat and provides the best value.
