The charm of this paradise, accessible only by boat, begins the moment you step outside the resort doors.
Surrounded by untouched nature, this island is dotted with treasures that will make your stay even more special and intimate, from hidden cafes beloved by locals to secret beaches of breathtaking beauty.

While your time at Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa is wonderful, why not venture out and feel the pulse of the island? You're sure to have an unforgettable experience.

Rosemary Café, a hidden gem just a few steps from the pier

Just a short walk from the resort's private pier, Rosemary Café makes you feel like a local on the island. The small beach that stretches out before you is truly your own private paradise, and it's so charming that you'll want to dip your toes in the sea.

All the dishes were home-style and familiar, and it seemed like the restaurant was frequented by many Marriott guests.
Here you can enjoy hearty home-cooked meals, like those made by island mothers.

Here are three recommended menu items.
・Milkshakes and fresh juices with the sweetness of fruit
・Rosemary fried rice topped with crispy fried chicken that's addictive ・Stir-fried squid with a crispy texture and irresistible aroma

The wide variety of menu items means you won't get bored even if you come every day. The interior is casual, yet has a warm, local feel, making you feel at home on the island.

Long Beach, the symbol of Perhentians

Long Beach, which stretches out on the other side of the island, is an essential part of any discussion of the island.
The contrast between the fine white sand and the turquoise blue ocean that covers the entire view is breathtakingly beautiful.

Just walking along the water's edge will make you feel like your soul is melting, but you should definitely try snorkeling here. In the crystal clear water, fish form schools, clad in light, and sometimes swim as if they are enveloping you. This is a spot that even beginners can enjoy with peace of mind, so be sure to visit at least once during your stay.

Chill Out Perhentian Café: Relax in Long Beach

This cafe is the perfect base for relaxing in Long Beach.
They also have hamburgers and local dishes, making it a great place for lunch. Even if you just want a drink, you can use the beach beds with umbrellas freely, making it a traveler-friendly place.

Right in front of you is a picturesque view of white sand and the sea. After a quick swim with snorkeling, you can relax in the shade on a bed, listening to the sound of the waves. Showers and toilets are also provided, so you can stay in comfort in your swimsuit. Another attraction of this place is the friendly staff.

Bubu Villa Restaurant, one of the island's best authentic restaurants

Located in the heart of Long Beach, this authentic restaurant promises a quality experience.
Not only is it located facing the sea, but each dish is made with care and love.

The scallop appetizer with caviar is like a work of art. The moment you put it in your mouth, the scent of the sea and the aroma of the sauce overlap, captivating you right from the start of the meal.
The grilled lamb and beef were perfectly cooked, and every bite was filled with delicious flavor. At dinner time, we chose our favorite fresh seafood from the ice bed and enjoyed it right on the BBQ. I tried barracuda for the first time in my life, and the heartwarming discovery that "it was delicious, but maybe I prefer saury" enriched my memories of the trip.

Every dish is carefully handcrafted to bring out the best in the ingredients, and the scenery, space, and flavors are in perfect harmony. As this is a popular restaurant, it's best to ask the staff at the Marriott to make a reservation for you.

Water taxi or foot to Long Beach?

Water taxis are the most common way to get to Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa, but it is also possible to get there on foot.
The 20-minute walk is a route that isn't even on Google Maps, so it's a great way to feel like you're on an adventure. You'll cross a small mountain path, so be sure to take precautions against the heat during the day. It's especially recommended to walk in the cooler mornings or evenings.

There are local signs along the way, so as long as you follow the right direction, you'll be sure to reach the beach. Feeling the sea breeze as you go along is also a special part of the journey.
