In June/July 2011, Kat and I went to Malaysia and Indonesia for a month... starting with KL and then the Perhentian Islands, and falling instantly in love. Since then, nothing has compared with the idyllic beaches and clear blue seas, and we're hoping to find some similar gorgeous spots this summer.
We have a few places in mind; in particular Redang and Tioman, and possibly the Perhentians again. I'd love to hear from you guys - have you been to anywhere in Malaysia that you loved? We fly to KL mid July and have two weeks to travel a bit, and relax a lot. I'd hoped to visit Langkawi, but have heard mixed reviews and is on the other side (west) of Malaysia. We're probably going to stick to the east coast, unless someone can convince me otherwise!

Have seen some gorgeous pictures and read great things about Redang; it's not far from the Perhentians and looks stunning.

Tioman - where South Pacific was filmed (the musical geek inside shining through) and have heard so many good things... sounds like a must-visit!

And finally, the Perhentians. We only went to the small Island (Kecil), so hoping to visit the big island (Besar) this time too. I'd love to hear from you lovely lot - places to stay, how you got there, any hints or tips!
