About Besar Island

Pulau Babi Besar, meaning "Big Boar Island" in Malay and located 15km off the east coast of Johor, is a tropical paradise. With an abundance of swaying palm trees framing white sands that cushion one's feet and crystal clear waters providing visibility even to its smallest inhabitants; it is not hard to understand why this island should be considered an idyllic getaway oasis for those looking for respite from Singapore. Resorts are available on Pulau Besar offering solace amongst some of nature’s most stunning views while many other scattered islands provide further exploration opportunities just waiting to be discovered.

Besar Island's pristine beaches and crystal-clear blue waters offer an idyllic escape from busy life. To ensure the protection of its rich marine wildlife, this picturesque paradise has been designated as a Marine Park by the Government - safeguarding over 60 species within 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) around it. Looking out onto tropical jungles lush with coconut palms, visitors can also marvel at breathtaking views that extend 845 feet (258 m) skyward into rolling hillsides against azure skies.
