Tioman Island.Malaysia

Spending long weekends away from singapore is always exhilarating. Away from fast pace life of Singapore. Nearest place from the singapore is Johor Bahru, and its just 15mins away from woodlands(Singapore north part). Normal weekends usually takes 10mins for immigration, while during long weekend it can be 1hr long.


One of the nice island in malaysia is Tioman. The natural beauty of the island is its biggest attraction. The waters around the island are filled with corals of all shapes and colours and home to a vast diversity of sea creatures, including two species of marine turtle. There are a few excellent beaches on Tioman, and these curves of golden sand are usually tucked away at the edges of villages or fronting one of the many resorts.


We stayed from May28 to May 30 at Panuba, This private, boulder strewn bay is a peaceful retreat and the nearby villages are easily accessible through short jungle trails or a sea taxi service. A five minute walk to the north brings you to a deserted beach, and the trail continues to Monkey Bay and Salang Village. Ayer Batang Village is 15 minutes south from here on the jungle footpath.
 
Marine park is the nice place to visit, from panuba to marine park sea taxi charge Rm10/person.




Although the beach right in front of the Panuba Inn Resort is small, the soft sand, tall trees and relative privacy make it an ideal place to relax and unwind.
