Only 5 kilometres from the east coast of peninsular
Malaysia, Pulau Gemia (Gemia Island) is easy to miss on a map. It is a
tiny, rocky island covered in lush tropical greenery and
fringed by curves of pure white sand. While this small gem
may easily be overlooked, it will not be easily forgotten.
Pulau Gemia (Gemia Island) is only a few hundred metres from the better
known Kapas Island, but offers a completely different
experience. There is only one resort on Gemia Island, guaranteeing
that you will have the beach coves and the aquamarine water
almost to yourself.

Most of the
rooms are built on stilts over the water and offer a
superior level of comfort and spaciousness. The
balconies are carefully constructed to ensure complete
privacy, so you can enjoy the tranquillity of the view
undisturbed. One of the other attractions of Gemia
Island is the
Spa. To round off your tropical island
experience and to ensure that you go home relaxed and
rejuvenated, do indulge in one of their treatments.

Apart from
treating yourself and lazing in the sunshine there are
various ways to keep busy during your stay on Gemia
Island. Enjoying the crystal clear water and the
abundance of marine life here is a must. Most visitors
will go snorkelling or
scuba diving to get a closer view
of the colourful corals, while others will rent a sea
kayak and paddle around the island.

There are many other ways to make the most of your Gemia Island holiday and
you can read more about it here. The sea in between
Kapas Island and Gemia
Island
is also home to stunning coral gardens and other marine
life. The spot is a haven for snorkelling and diving.
The
Resort has fitted up 4 chalets for a
Spa, where Thai
ladies are waiting for you to give you special spa
treatment and therapies. In the package we had was an
aroma therapy treatment. Also in the package deal was a
bottle of red wine, which was served at dinner.
The dinner
was excellent, cuisine worthy. Those who love long walks
on the beach should go to the north-eastern part of the
island when the tide is low. Just remember to bring your
slippers as the rocks and corals are very sharp. The
rocks themselves look as if someone had mutilated them
with a chain saw, but it just the way been formed by the
elements. |
