Found on the southern shore, Pulau Tioman was among the ten most elegant islands in the world and doesn't fall short of its reputation. Found on the China Sea, thirty miles off the shores, this small 5,380 ft² piece of land truly has everything of a dreamland. Heavenly beaches bordered by authentic fishermen villages, majestic landscape with a wet and exuberant vegetation forest punctuated by amazing granite peaks: really impossible to dream of a more exotic panorama. Its seabeds are protected by its status of marine park. You can watch corals and parrot-fish in the crystal clear water. Also protected, the island's inner world holds the status of natural reserve and offers wonderful hiking and climbing opportunities on the magnificent desert beaches (Penuba, Kampung Salang...).
