We went there in the mid of March, sea is calm and therefore perfect for snorkeling and other water sports. And not to mention perfect glorious sun for basking.
The pick-up boat waited us at Mersing jetty. Took a 20-minute boat ride and the picturesque scene unfolded.
Rawa Island greeted us in such breathtaking way. No matter how bad your mood was with the rough boat ride or long wait at the jetty, would get instantly lightened up.
There were only 2 resorts available at Rawa Island. We stayed at Alng Rawa (I guess the color theme is Santorini BluexWhite) attap house.
.
But if you can afford (something like RM1000/ night) you can stay at Rawa Resorts Seaview Bungalows in which you can enjoy the beautiful sunset at your own private balcony
We strolled along the beach, over the plank, we could see fish swimming in the crystal clear water.
Sunset was amazing as well.
And there was the iconic Sea Slides which you would slide down, go through a few sharp turn and twist and ended being hurled into the sea with a big SPLASH! Kinda exciting actually.
What else to do on the island?
Exploring the private beach
Canoeing
Read a book while basking in the sun
Enjoying the breeze with your love one
Make friend with the only dog on the island.
And of course go hiking. And enjoy the spectacular sea view atop.
Important tips before you hop onto the island:
1. You are not allowed to bring in liquors. But you can buy liquors from the bars.
2. The non-air-conditioned room can be very stuffy. You can book those with air-con
3. No free flow drinks provided. You need to buy your drink there.
4. Snorkeling gears, canoe, lifejacket are provided for free but you need to deposit RM50 for it.
5. Water pressure is quite low, and the water from the shower and tap are sea water. Still feel the stickiness on the skin after a thorough shower.
6. The sea slide are only for Rawa Resort guests but sometimes they might not stop next door guests using it.
