  When talking about an ideal escape, Perhentian Islands could be the one. 

  These 2 islands from South China Sea, Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil, are amazing due to their tropical forests and coral reefs.

  Diving and snorkelling offer here great underwater views of the coloured coral reefs.

  The islands are situated off the north-east coast of Malaysia. 

  International flights go to Kuala Lumpur. From here you take another flight to Kota Bharu or Kuala Terengganu and then a bus to Kuala Besut. From here, a boat transport tourists to the islands.
