This relatively large tropical island is located off the east coast of the Malaysian state of Pahang. Whilst this densely forested, sparsely populated island also comes complete with several lovely beaches – helping it to earn the title of one of the world’s most beautiful islands according to TIME Magazine in the 1970’s – one beach stands out amongst the rest – Juara. Yes, the incredible Juara Beach is a true jewel in the crown of Malaysia’s best beaches, helped by its relatively remote location – ferries do not land at the beach, it is only reachable via 4WD on a paved road that cuts through Tioman’s central mountain range. Whilst the beach is unreal, it’s also known for the conservation of sea turtles, with the Juara Turtle Project managing a hatchery here. #urbanexplorer #beachvacation

#springitinerary Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city doesn’t mean you have to fly far. I chose a place less than an hour from KL — Misty Mountain. I stayed deep in the forest, starting a slow-paced 2-day, 1-night getaway. The homestay is hidden in the misty village of Janda Baik. Open the window and you’re surrounded by lush greenery and mountain breezes. No packed itinerary, no alarms, no commuting stress — just good food, deep breaths, and a gentle way of living. 📍Misty Mountain Retreat Lot 15869, Kampung Chemperoh, Kampung Janda Baik, 28750 Bentong, Pahang Highly recommended for anyone looking to unplug and unwind. It truly feels like “living in the clouds.” #MistyMountain #JandaBaik #TravelRetreat

#favouriteitinerary A place for nature lover and early bird sunriser chaser. My friends and I woke up at 5am, in Kuantan and need to drive about 40 to 45 minutes to here. It may take 40 minutes up to the top of the bukit and it certainly is a panoramic view that awaits you at the top. At the top, a low level early morning cloud layers immediately made the views special, when the sun rises, it become even more beautiful.
