3 Handpicked Beach Resorts In Redang Island, Malaysia

Discover the tropical paradise of Redang Island on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. I'd love to try diving in the clear waters of Terengganu Marine Park and explore the colorful coral reefs. One can also go snorkeling in places such as Teluk Mak Kepit or Pulau Ekor Tebu. Experience the island's attractiveness as you hike through the lush jungle and catch a glimpse of the local wildlife. Then, after a day of adventure, have yourself pampered at Sari Pacifica Resort & Spa Redang Island. When hunger strikes, feast on seafood treats at Redang Moon - Vitamin Sea Kitchen. The resorts here offer the perfect base for visitors to relax and soak up the island's beauty. There are countless options, but be sure to choose the best. For accommodations, read more about the top beach resorts in Redang Island, Malaysia. **Travel Advisory** Redang Island is not as isolated as you might think and there are straightforward ways to get to the island. We've listed out a few of these for your convenience: - By flight: Berjaya Air operates direct flights to Redang Island from Subang SkyPark. However, it seems you can only book the service online as a package deal with a room at The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort. If you're flying as a group, it might be best to charter the aircraft. - By ferry: Merang and Shahbandar Jetties are the two major transit points that operate ferries to Redang Island. Shahbandar Jetty is situated right within Kuala Terengganu and offers regular ferries to and from Redang Island. Merang Jetty also offers a regular ferry service but is located further north of Kuala Terengganu.
