Discover a Maldives-like Paradise in Malaysia: Redang Island

Looking for a Maldives experience without the hefty price tag? Look no further than Malaysia's Redang Island (Pulau Redang).

Here's why:
Visa-free: Located in Malaysia, the hotels speak Chinese, and it has just been announced that Chinese tourists can use automatic gates for entry, making it as convenient as returning home!

Cost-effective: Ocean view rooms are priced at 600 per person per night, including three meals, round-trip island transportation, and snorkeling. The view from the balcony is breathtaking!

Plenty of activities:
There are countless free activities, with the fire dance show at night being a highlight for both adults and kids.
Beautiful scenery and delicious food: From the balcony to the restaurant to afternoon snorkeling, it's all jelly-like sea. The coconut ice cream is delicious and only costs 10!

Location:
Redang Island, Malaysia

Transportation:
Fly to Kuala Lumpur, transfer to Terengganu, and the hotel will pick you up from the airport for a 40-minute boat ride to the island. Accommodation: There are three hotels on the island; I stayed at Laguna with an ocean view room. I recommend prioritizing cost-effectiveness since all three hotels share the same beach.

Choose the cheapest option! Itinerary: I chose a 3-day, 2-night stay, including two days of marine park and open sea snorkeling.

Suggested items to bring:
Essentials:
Sunscreen clothing/sunglasses/diving gear (they can lend it for free, but I suggest bringing your own)/slippers/toiletries
Photography: Camera/drone/Gopro (rented)
Others: Cash/SIM card (Cele) with excellent signal/adapter/passport

Personal tips!
1. Book hotels on the official website for more discounts, avoiding middlemen.
2. One open sea snorkeling trip is enough; book turtle snorkeling at Redang Beach Resort for the best deal at 40.
3. From 2 PM, the sunlight casts palm tree shadows on the beach, perfect for photos.
4. Small sharks can be found on the far right side of the snorkeling area!
5. There's a free fire dance show at 8:30 PM, don't miss it!
6. Redang Beach Resort offers seaside massages, very comfortable, 1 hour for 120, with great technique.
7. Drones are allowed. This hidden gem rivals the Maldives in value, so what are you waiting for? Go now!
