Majestic Johor:

Discovering Johor Bahru, Mersing & Kota Tinggi 075 Te x t b y S H A H I DA S A KERI Images by ED JUNAIDI

Johor’s stunning islands have always been in the radar among those in the know. A short ferry ride brings you to some of the state’s most exclusive islands like Rawa and Tengah, but don’t let their skyhigh accommodation price tags shy you away from exploring other affordable yet equally stunning paradises. Besar Island provides you the vibe similar to Gili Trawangan (minus the partying, of course) without the need for Peninsular Malaysia-based travellers to fly across the ocean, while Pemanggil attracts avid anglers, especially those who love deep sea fishing. And since you’re making a plan to visit the islands off coast Johor, why not stop over at some of the urban centres along the way to make the trip more enriching? Do stop by at Kota Tinggi for its longestablished history and thriving art scene, and of course, Johor Bahru for its vibrancy and modern offerings. Read on to find out some of the places that we suggest you visit when in Johor.
