This is a place for a romantic getaway! Despite rapid development elsewhere, Pulau Tioman has remained largely untouched, on this little place is a real find if you are looking to get lost for a few days. Not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity apart from chill out in a very natural environment, swim, snorkel and make jungle treks through the densely forested interior. Diving and fishing can be arranged, however, as well as boat trips to other parts of the island.

the island is rich with flora and fauna. Monkeys are everywhere and large monitor lizards are commonly seen on and behind the beaches.

The top end of the island - 30 minutes away by boat - has one large resort and a thriving backpacker community so, if you do get bored, there is relief not far away.
