A weekend at Perhentian Islands

Island is my ultimate getaway. I've always loved the beach. I can just lie on the beach listening to the sound of waves crashing against the shore day and night.
We booked flight and accommodation via expedia for a weekend (3 days 2 nights) at Perhentian Islands. Perhentian Islands are islands in Besut District, Terengganu. The flight is scheduled to leave KLIA2 at 11.50am and reach Sultan Mahmud Airport at 12.45pm on Friday, March 31, 2017. The journey from the airport to Kuala Besut Jetty is about 1 hour 15 minutes. 
While waiting for the boat, we had lunch at April Cafe.
We ordered watermelon juice, RM4.90, pineapple juice, RM4.90,
fried noodles, RM8.90
and seafood fried rice, RM8.90.








The boat trip took almost an hour with stops at Perhentian Kecil Island and other resorts.
We stayed at Perhentian Island Resort for the weekend.








Well, there is also a swimming pool but obviously, nobody is there.
After we checked in, we walked along the beach.




Coral View Island Resort is next to Perhentian Island Resort.
Then we walked to The Barat Resort and sat on the jetty.
Amazed to see the clear non-polluted sea.

On the first evening, we had dinner at the restaurant in the resort itself.
We had Perhentian Chef salad (RM18)
and cheesy pizza (RM28).
After dinner, we continued walking along the beach.
The next two days, we had breakfast buffet at Pinang Seribu Restaurant.


After breakfast, we just laid on the beach and soaked up the sunshine all morning.


Then we decided to have lunch at The Barat Resort.
We had rice (RM2) with tomyam soup (RM12) and watermelon juice (RM12) and fish and chips lunch set (RM30) that comes with coffee, mineral water and coconut smoothie.



In the evening, we had dinner at Mama's Restaurant
facing the sea.
I had coconut juice (RM7),
meehoon bandung (RM10)
and Singaporean meehoon (RM9).
On Sunday, April 2, 2017, we left the island by the 8.00am boat and reached Kuala Besut Jetty in 30 minutes.
We went to the airport straight away. The flight is scheduled to take off from Sultan Mahmud Airport at 1.10pm but was delayed by 30 minutes. We reached KLIA2 at 2.35pm. It was a short trip but I'm glad I decided to go.

Till next week, hope that my sunburn will go away by then...
