The two Perhentian Islands are rated as some of the most beautiful islands in the world. A virtual paradise for snorkeling and diving in crystal-clear water or just for lazing on one of the white sandy beaches waiting for the coconuts to drop. Pulau Perhentian is located in the South China Sea 25 km from the coast of Kuala Besut. It consists of two islands, Pulau Perhentian Besar(Big Island) and Pulau Perhentian Kecil(Small Island). Both islands are surrounded by beautiful palm-fringed sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise-blue sea.
All manner of aquatic life is visible both near and far from the beach such as turtles, sharks, coral and thousands of tropical fish. The interior is covered by jungle with a wide variety of species. You can watch monitor lizards, monkeys, geckos, flying squirrels, butterflies and many other types - sometimes right in front of your chalet. There are no roads and not many paths, so the islands are mainly peaceful and untouched - so far.
Shari-La Island Resort is situated on one of the famous beaches on the Perhentian Kecil (Small Island).
