For most travelers, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport (KUA) is the most practical entry point for Chukai. It serves the nearby city of Kuantan and is the closest airport to the Chukai city center, offering the fastest and most cost-effective ground transport options including taxis and ride-hailing services. Sultan Mahmud Airport (TGG), located in the nearby city of Kuala Terengganu, serves as a secondary option for those specifically flying into the Terengganu region, though it requires a significantly longer ground journey to reach Chukai. The remaining option, Redang Airport (RDN), is a specialized island airport located on Redang Island and is only appropriate for travelers whose primary destination is the island itself rather than Chukai. We recommend choosing KUA if your main goal is reaching Chukai efficiently. Please note that none of these airports are located within Chukai; they all require reliable ground transport arrangements to complete your journey. Always pre-book your transfers, especially when arriving at RDN, as public transit is limited and relies on private resort arrangements.

I stayed at Marine Hotel Kemaman and the hotel is very old, including the rooms, which have an old-school feel. There are no additional power sockets for charging devices, which is quite inconvenient. Surprisingly, the power switch for the hot water is located outside the room, which is very impractical.
On the positive side, the room was clean, and the hotel is surrounded by many Chinese food options, which is convenient for meals.FromUS$14

The trio room was very spacious. Everything looks great! They provide free parking, ask the front desk. Only downside for me was the pillow was too soft so it wasn’t a good sleep. And the anti-slip mat for the toilet wasn’t properly cleaned so there was hair and dirt from previous usage. Nonetheless, I will still come back and stay here if I’m back in Kemaman.FromUS$44
