Rawa Island Resort

Pulau Rawa is a stunning private island off Johor, perfect for a short getaway. The beach is powdery white, the sea is turquoise, and the coral reefs are just a few steps from the shore — great for snorkeling and spotting colorful fish. The vibe is quiet and laid-back, ideal if you want to disconnect. Accommodation and food are basic but decent — don’t expect luxury, it’s more of a rustic island escape. The highlight is definitely the natural beauty: the sunrise, sunset, and starry skies are unforgettable. Getting there requires a short boat ride from Mersing, and the journey itself feels like part of the adventure. 👉 Best for couples, families, or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to nature.

I really love the island; the view, ocean, and air left me in awe. Furthermore, their staff were great. The rooms were nice to stay in, but the low water pressure in the bathroom was quite difficult. However, I do understand that they have not a lot of fresh water. Overall, you should go immediately. The beach was a beautiful white fine sand and the highlight of the trip.

Enjoying our stay at Rawa Island and it’s absolutely beautiful. The water is crystal clear, the beach is soft and clean, and the whole place feels peaceful and private. Snorkeling right from the beach lets you see colorful fish and corals. The resort staff are very attentive, food is tasty with good choices, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing or doing activities. It’s truly a hidden paradise.🤩😍

A paradise island where you can relax and enjoy the sea. Rooms are spacious as are bathrooms. Everything is walking distance. Staff is sweet and helpful: I was stunned that after only 2 meals, the lady who checked room numbers at the buffet recognized me and knew my room number! There is not much to do, which is precisely why we came 😊.

I had an amazing experience at Rawa Island Resort! 🌴✨ The rooms were clean, comfortable and beautifully designed, offering a relaxing retreat with a stunning view of the sea. The service was excellent – the staff were always friendly, helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. The location is simply breathtaking – crystal clear waters, soft white sand and a peaceful environment that makes it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Highly recommended for families, couples or anyone looking to unwind in paradise. Will definitely come back!

I had an awful experience at this resort and feel compelled to warn others. During my stay, some of my personal belongings—including cash and valuables—were stolen from my room. After some investigation on my own, it became clear that the cleaner was likely involved. I immediately reported the incident to the management, expecting at least some form of action or concern. Instead, I was met with indifference. They refused to investigate properly—no questioning of staff, no review of CCTV, and no effort to check the cleaner’s quarters. Their response? “Just file a police report,” as if this kind of thing happens all the time and isn’t their problem. There was absolutely no sense of responsibility, no apology, and no support offered. As a paying guest, I felt completely ignored and helpless. The lack of professionalism and care was shocking. If you value your safety, your peace of mind, or your belongings, I strongly advise against staying at this resort. A beautiful location means nothing when the staff can’t be trusted and the management refuses to protect its guests.

Nice Resort on a beautiful island. Staff is really friendly and nice. Rooms are spacious and food varies every day. Not much action or party, but perfect place to relax for a couple of days.

Spectacular!!! the location and overall experience... The human touch by the resort staff really made the stay that much more pleasant... in it more than made up and made us forget any shortcomings due to the rather aged and rundown infrastructure... which I was told are in the process of being upgraded in stages. Worth another visit definitely!!!

Beautiful beach, various activities and friendly staff. My husband and I stayed for two nights and we thought it was a bit short as we loved the place. The food were nice as all the meels were surved by buffet and they alway had many types of food. Thanks for the wifi to be very week, we enjoyed our time very relaxed. As the resort is an island, the water suplies were not solid. Sometimes the toilet has trouble but the staff helped us very fast. Staying for few days was worth it. Hopping to go back soon!
