Redang Beach Resort

Pulau Redang is a small island group in the South Chinese Sea, on the east side of Peninsular Malaysia. Redang lies within protected marine waters, also known as Terengganu Marine Park. It lies about 45 kilometers from the coast of the city of Kuala Terengganu. Next to the main island Redang are many other smaller surrounding islands. The island is surrounded by crystal clear water and has various beautiful diving possibilities for the aficionados. You can also snorkel around the island; the coral reefs are in good health. Redang usually is not too crowded, though during local school holidays and public holidays it can get very busy on the island. Because Redang is part of a Marine Park, all visitors have to pay a marine park entrance fee of RM5 upon arrival.

The island is especially popular among travelers who like a bit more luxury during their stay. Redang has many luxurious resorts, many of them are of international standards. Restaurants often are part of the resort; there are only a few privately owned restaurants on the island. Most of the food & beverage outlets can be found at Pasir Panjang; the most popular beach of the island. Resort restaurants usually serve a mix of local and western dishes. Prices are pretty high compared to other areas in Malaysia, but it is worth it as you are enjoying the perfect tropical atmosphere at Redang. Nightlife usually revolves around the resort bars; alcohol is available almost everywhere on the island.
