Redang Island in Malaysia

<p>Floating some 50km north-east off the tip of Malaysia lies the stunning archipelago of Redang. Comprising of nine islands, including Redang itself, this remarkable group of islets provide a tropical paradise. Making up the marine park are <strong>Lima, Paku Besar, Paku Kecil, Kerengga Besar, Kerengga Kecil, Ekor Tebu, Ling, Pinang</strong>, and of course, <strong>Redang</strong>.</p>

<p>Redang is renowned as a resort island. One which combines both diving and luxury, guaranteeing you a slice of heaven on your <a href="https://www.thomascook.com/holidays/malaysia">Malaysia holiday</a>. Its white powdery beaches are surrounded by palm trees and rainforests. The ideal set up for you to prop yourself up on a deckchair, pop open the latest bestseller, recline, and relax. When you feel like cooling off, Redang Island is famous for its exceptional underwater seascape.</p>

<p>You&#39;ll love how the sunlight glitters off the shimmering scales of the fish beneath the surface. Grab your snorkel and your loved ones and investigate the wonders that await you. Just a short swim from the shore among the kaleidoscopic coral, you&#39;ll find an array of mesmerising bright fish. If you&#39;re lucky, you might be able to swim with sea turtles and watch friendly sharks cruise the seabed.</p>

<p>Back on dry land, with soft white sands and secluded rocky coves, you&#39;ll find Long Beach. Considered to be one of Malaysia&#39;s most picturesque beaches, this oceanic stretch offers something for everyone. Dotted along the edges, you&#39;ll find a selection of eateries to please all tastes and budgets. Where better to enjoy freshly caught seafood than right next to the ocean from which it came?</p>

<p>Don your comfy walking boots and head off into the jungle trails to see what local wildlife you can spot. You&#39;ll find monkeys and monitor lizards aplenty, but if you want to watch the wild deer, you&#39;ll have to stay extra still.</p>

<p>After a day of flitting between watersports and sunbathing, there&#39;s nothing more romantic than watching the sunset over the South China Sea. Watch in awe as magnificent red, orange, and purple swirls fill the sky and bounce off the ocean&#39;s mirror-like surface beneath.</p>

<p>You&#39;d need to venture to the opposite side of the island away from the resort to really appreciate it, so why not do it in style? There&#39;s plenty of sunset cruises to take part in, or if you&#39;d prefer some exclusivity, you can charter your own boat and then watch the day turn into night while relaxing under the stars. Hop on a boat from Merang Jetty, and you&#39;ll find yourself in a prime sunset viewing position in less than 30 mins.</p>

<p>Whether you book a resort and stay on the island or just make a point of visiting as part of a multi-stop trip, Redang Island is not a location to miss on your holiday to Malaysia.</p>
