Finally, the interstate travel ban has been lifted!
After months of being confined to our own houses in hopes to curb Covid-19, Malaysians finally have the freedom to travel within the country!
While we still have SOPs to follow, many of us are looking forward to a long needed vacay by the beach. Popular islands such as Langkawi and Pangkor are sure to pull quite the crowd.
But fret not! Here is a list of islands that is guaranteed not to have a crowd – so we can keep up with social distancing while relaxing under the sun.

Once you arrive at Rawa Island, you will understand why they call it the Maldives Island of Malaysia.
Located on the straits of Johor, this island is known for its clean, clear waters. Swimming should be one of the must-do things on the island! But if that isn’t your thing, hiking and trekking around the island is another thing you can do to take in the scenery.
3. Layang Layang Island
For some guaranteed isolation

When we said isolated, we mean isolated. The actual island of Layang Layang cannot be found easily as it is a very small island within the Spratly group of islands. It definitely qualifies as a hidden gem of Malaysia.
Layang Layang has splendid diving conditions; the waters are unspoiled and unpolluted. There are no fishing activities and almost no other disturbances, making this a little paradise from home.
4. Sipadan Island
For the hardcore divers

This oceanic island is rated as one of the world’s top dive sites, and has heard the praises of divers all over the world.
This 40-acre, oceanic island is composed of living corals which grows atop an obsolete undersea volcano. Sipadan will always remain a diver’s paradise, with its undisturbed sea life and beautiful underwater landscape.
