REDANG ISLAND

Redang Island, part of the Terengganu Marine Park, has a rich history deeply tied to its natural beauty and maritime traditions. For centuries, it was a remote fishing and trading post for local Malay communities, who lived in harmony with the island’s rich marine ecosystems. In the late 20th century, Redang gained national attention for its stunning coral reefs and biodiversity, prompting the Malaysian government to designate it as a protected marine park in 1994. This status helped preserve its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and pristine beaches, while fostering sustainable tourism. Today, Redang is renowned as one of Malaysia’s premier luxury island destinations, offering visitors an unspoiled paradise with a deep respect for its cultural and ecological heritage.

Redang Island is accessible by air and sea, offering a smooth journey for luxury travelers. From Kuala Lumpur, guests can take a direct flight to Redang Airport (RDN) via Berjaya Air’s private service, landing just minutes from the island’s resorts. Alternatively, travelers can fly to Kuala Terengganu Airport (TGG) and then enjoy a private car transfer to the Merang Jetty, followed by a scenic private speedboat ride of approximately 45 minutes to Redang. For the ultimate arrival experience, helicopter transfers are also available, offering stunning aerial views of the island’s emerald waters and coral reefs.

Once on Redang Island, getting around is effortless and relaxed. Most luxury resorts offer private buggy services, curated walking tours, and boat transfers for island-hopping or excursions to nearby dive and snorkel sites. As the island is compact and the beaches are easily accessible, guests enjoy a seamless blend of leisure and exploration. For marine adventures, private yacht charters, diving trips, and snorkeling safaris ensure exclusive, personalized access to Redang’s most beautiful coastal treasures.
