Mersing Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Wonderful Vacation like Royalty

If you want to feel like royalty on vacation, Pulau Rawa is one of the places to go if you are in Johor. The reason is that this island is a private island owned by Tuanku Sultan Johor. If you want to feel like a holiday in a remote island, this is one of the places. This small island has no vehicles. If you want to go there, you can walk. Pulau Rawa is located about 16km from Mersing jetty. If you take a boat, about 20-25 minutes. On this island there are only two resorts namely Rawa Island Resort and Alang's Rawa. These two resorts are located next to each other. #royalcarribean #islandlover #wonderfultrip

quiet relaxing staycation - Rawa island

visited Rawa island to escape the new year crowd. was nice and windy. but water sports were closed and the spa only had one masseuse, so book early. took the hillside rooms. but after taking a walk all around, think will grade as below. 1. beachfront 2. waterfront 3. frangipanni 4. hillside but hillside had the cheapest rates. food timings were bit odd. 8am - breakfast 12pm - lunch 7pm - dinner gap is too big between lunch and dinner. I got hungry by 5-6pm. when asked bout the timing, they said there were many in the past who ate at 6pm and by 8pm they were hungry. 👀

Absolute Paradise!

Just spent 4 nights in a beachfront cottage and it was everything I expected and more! Firstly, a lot of the photos that have been shared here seem to be outdated. Let me break it all down so you will know what to expect and how to prepare for a stay here. Rooms - our beachfront cottage had 2 big beds, lots of space, and a big bathroom. The AC seems too small for the size of the room and would greatly improve if it was at least a 2HP AC. The bathroom is so-so with an old shower head. It definitely needs an upgrade. At night you will never get total darkness because of an outdoor light that is left on and shines brightly through the frosted glass door. A curtain or blinds would have been great to block the light out. There is no mini refrigerator and no tv. *It is important to note that there are many other kinds of rooms to choose from to suit your needs. Our number one priority was to be able to step onto the beach from our balcony. The room also has a balcony that is nice to hang out in when you want a break from the sun. There are mosquitoes most of the time but a little bug spray can keep you protected. The rooms are cleaned daily in the morning. It's done quickly and thoroughly and left with a fresh clean scent. Food - the buffet meals are quite delicious! I was honestly pleasantly surprised. I do wish there was a better variety for breakfast as it seemed we were eating the same thing each day. But there is an egg station and I always enjoyed my daily omelet. Coffee and tea are basic... instant. But it was still nice to be able to have a cup or 2 throughout the day. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Please serve nasi lemak! I was really hoping to see it being served in at least one meal. Beach and Sea - WOW WOW WOW. It was absolute paradise. Our days were filled with nonstop snorkeling. There are so many spots to explore and so many things to see. I saw baby black tip reef sharks, rays, crocodile needlefish, and a vast assortment of fish. It was absolutely fantastic. The sand is some of the finest I have ever felt, glowing white but not hot. The waters are clear and clean. This is what will bring us back year after year. Boat - the boat ride going there is comfortable and fast. You don't have to carry anything! They will load your bags and deliver them to your doorstep. I really can't believe I didn't come here sooner. The moment I stepped onto the sand I knew this would be our special once a year holiday playground. We were very fortunate to have good weather, good company with us, a nd the whole resort to ourselves. I know we will be back within a year because I can't stop thinking of this paradise. A huge THANK YOU to Rawa Island Resort for giving us an amazing 5 day stay!! #rawaisland #mersing #johor #malaysia

a long time since I’ve had time to share! There are so many good things to share with you Recently went to Mersing for a 1-day island hopping tour 9.00am-5.00pm Friends who like the sea will definitely like it… The package includes breakfast, lunch, fruits and drinks! I think you can eat them all, but the chicken rice has so little meat that I almost cry, and there are so many bones, hahahaha, but you can still eat until you are full, don’t worry! And you really don’t have to be afraid, Abang is also very caring. He will accompany us up the mountain, watch where we are, and teach us some things! You can also use their snorkeling equipment directly #awesomepic #deliciousfood

Beach View at Mersing Beach Resort

It was another adhoc plan to go to Mersing for a staycation. We wanted a place near to the beach, walkable distance so we can access the beach anytime of the day. And we found Mersing Beach Resort which offered a standard room with affordable price. The room was clean and spacious. A king bed for the three of us it was so comfortable. From the balcony we can see the beautiful swimming pool. And the highlight was the location to the beach. The resort was just in front of the beach. So it was a very happy staycation for us! #beachlife #urbanexplorer
