Perhentian paradise

Golden beaches and magnificent blue-green water. Welcome to the Perhentian Islands, one of Malaysia's best kept secrets. Our bungalow sits back from the water atop a small sand dune with panoramic views across the bay... and within a 2 minute stroll, the warm tropical waters of the South China Sea.

Arriving just after the monsoon, the island appears slow and groggy as if waking from a deep slumber. As we laze on the beach drinking tropical fruit shakes and listening to the quiet constant sound of the waves, the trials and tribulations of the past few weeks fade into obscurity and the social leprosy and work menage a trios of the past 6 months begin to pay dividends.
