Tioman Island, a little island off the coast of Malaysia, rose to fame in 1958 when it served as the backdrop for the filming of the South Pacific. The island is selected to represent “Bali Hai” because of its gorgeous white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. 

The island, a component of the larger Mersing Marine Park, is situated off the east coast of Malaysia close to Pahang. People come in droves to this island, which is among the most developed on Malaysia’s east coast, to dive and snorkel or to unwind on the beach.

Paya Beach

If you’ve come to Tioman Island looking for peace and quiet, Paya Beach is one of the island’s most well-known beaches just like Perhentian Island and a perfect place to unwind.

You can also locate the Paya Beach Resort at Paya Beach, renowned for its amazing spa services, including traditional massages that will leave you feeling cleansed and renewed.

Asah Waterfall

One of Tioman Island’s top sights is Asah Waterfall, also known as Mukut Waterfall, due to its proximity to Mukut Village.

One of the ways is via hiking through the forest from Kampung Mukut or Kampung Asah, but if you’re feeling a little lazy, you can also hire a boat or handy water taxi that will drop you off close to the falls.
