Промо

Rawa Island is a small tropical island in Malaysia, part of the Seri Buat archipelago, located 16 kilometers off the east coast of mainland Malaysia (Malacca Peninsula) and close to Tioman islands (Rawa Island on the map of Malaysia).

The island is very small (only 1 kilometer), surrounded by clear blue waters of the South China Sea, covered with dense green jungle and framed by rocky cliffs mixed with beaches.

Entertainment on the island except for beach and sea (snorkeling, beach volleyball, windsurfing, sailing, fishing) is practically no, historical or cultural attractions too. Once here, you will be like on a desert island. At your disposal will be your room or bungalow on the shore, almost your own beach and a whole island with a jungle, where you can go hiking to get acquainted with its nature. In general, this is an ideal place for a quiet and secluded holiday away from civilization.

There are only two hotels here: Rawa Safaris Resort, and Alang's Rawa. It is impossible to say that these are cheap hotels: the cost of one night starts from 260 ringgit (currency of Malaysia), which is approximately equal to 2600 rubles. Moreover, you will not find much luxury in hotels. You have to pay for the very situation on the island, and not for the service in hotels. The cost of food in hotels is also very high.
