When it comes to dream vacations, many of us immediately picture the Maldives with its overwater villas and crystal-clear waters.
But what if we told you that Malaysia’s very own Pulau Tioman has stolen the spotlight from this world-famous destination?
Recently, a Scottish tourist shared his surprising take on Malaysia’s islands during an interview with content creator @gomalaysia.
He boldly says that Pulau Tioman, along with other Malaysian islands, outshines the Maldives.
“It’s amazing if you want to explore islands. This is definitely the place to visit,” said the tourist, adding that Malaysia’s islands offer a unique charm that even the Maldives can’t compete with.
But it wasn’t just his opinion—his parents, who had visited the Maldives themselves, echoed his sentiments. They too felt that Pulau Tioman is better than Maldives.
A personal favourite list
When asked to name his top picks, the Scottish tourist placed Pulau Cherating at the top of his list of most beautiful Malaysian islands.
The rest of his ranking followed closely: Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang, and Pulau Tioman.
This unexpected shoutout from an international traveller is a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful destinations are right in our backyard.
So, if you’ve been daydreaming about white sandy beaches and tropical getaways, why not put Pulau Tioman on your travel list?
