Car
If you are traveling by car, first head to Kuala Besut, which is the main access point to the Perhentian Islands. From Kuala Lumpur, navigate to Kuala Besut via the East Coast Highway (E8).

The boat ride will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on which island you are going to. After arriving on Perhentian Island, you can access Marriott Beach via a short walk or by hiring a local boat if necessary.
Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, take a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Besut. Multiple bus companies operate this route, and you can purchase tickets online or at the bus terminal. The journey takes about 8-9 hours. Once you arrive in Kuala Besut, head to the jetty for boat transfers to the Perhentian Islands. Ensure you buy your boat ticket before boarding.
