Perhentian Islands have been our favourite islands since our first visit to them in 2015. That’s what made us fall in love with the island life, underwater life and helped us take a step further to get certified. These mesmerizing waters and white sand shores are nothing short of utopia. Read all about the tips and tricks of visiting Perhentian Islands here.

For now, enjoy the photo tour:

We have never been able to convince ourselves to book our stay anywhere besides Bubbles Dive Resort. This beautiful property is in a secluded part of the bigger ‘Besar’ island, where we have the bay to ourselves. Focused diving, certification, tranquillity, good food and a home away from home pretty much sums up why we prefer Bubbles to any other resort.

Conquering my fear of water and feeding our lust for the underwater world, this is where we got PADI certified. One step led to the other and we went on from Scuba Divers to Open Water Divers. Want to know more? Read our story here.

Psst… The islands remain closed for monsoons from mid-Oct to mid-March. Please check the season before booking your tickets.

  22. This looks like the epitome of an island paradise! A few years back, I was deciding between Redang and Perhentian for diving, but eventually went with Redang because my husband knows the people there. The Perhentian beaches look nicer, though! I think the best diving in Malaysia is in Sipadan still, though you should get your AOW before going. (PS – just emailed you re your Travel and Spice series!)
