“BUBU” – the local fish trap, usually made of local bamboo cleverly weaved to entice a fish to enter but not escape once inside…by far the most important gadget any serious fisherman in Terengganu and the East Coast of Malaysia will use to bring home a decent catch. Bubu represents all things central to a blissful living -  breathtakingly white sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear waters teeming with marine life and the casual island lifestyle amidst  the innocence of nature.

Tuna Bay Island Resort offers 46 cool and spacious wooden chalets set either right on the beachfront, shaded by coconut palms, or around a pretty garden area. Fifteen of the chalets are interconnecting and are perfect for family use. All chalets are just a minute’s walk from the beach and command stunning views of neighboring Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Island) and the shimmering South China Sea.
