𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 - 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚

Known to be one of the most romantic islands across the globe, the Mataking Island is sometimes said to be more romantic than even Italy, Mataking is a 2-in-1 island and covers two islands namely Bigger Mataking Besar and the small Mataking Kecil, that have access to each other on days of low tide. While the only resort on this island is on the Mataking Besar, the island still is home to various activities that are both couple-friendly as well as a dream come true for any water baby. The one aspect that is exciting about the Mataking Island experience is while the diving experience in itself is out of the world, one can additionally choose to post letter to your loved ones from the ‘Underwater Post Office” that is the first of its kind in Malaysia. The post office is a converted 40-foot wooden cargo ship that is said to have sunk in 2006 and thus making it a reef. But if you are not much into diving, snorkelling, canoeing or kayaking there is nothing to be worried about, you can choose to lay back on the beach, play some beach volleyball, go on the night treks to watch fireflies, the rare coconut crab and turtles too. The islands consist of both expensive as well as affordable accommodations, so one can accordingly choose their experience based on the budget they are travelling with.
