Nobody goes to Tioman Island expecting major tourist development. On the contrary; it's the destination's unspoilt beauty that is its chief attraction. Back in the 1970s, TIME magazine put Tioman on a list of the most beautiful islands in the world. Thirty-plus years on and it's still as deserving of such an accolade.
Scuba diving opportunities in the waters around the island are a popular draw card but if that sounds too much like hard work then its picture postcard beaches are the perfect places to enjoy endless days of relaxation.
