Have to be more specific on what you like to do when you say nice & relaxing getaway.

1. Some people find it relaxing and enjoy the sun & sea. Some people think otherwise (get sunburn, too hot, sea too sticky.. etc)

2. Some people find it relaxing to stroll through nature trails. Some people think otherwise (get scratches, too tiring, mosquito bites..)

3. Some people find it relaxing to enjoy indoors activities (bowling, indoor archery, carrom). Some find it boring.

4. Some people find it relaxing to stay in their resort room (eat, sleep and watch tv) the entire duration just to get away from the hectic life.

You have to be specific unless you want to take the adventure route (that won't be nice and relaxing though.

Forget my mumbling, I'm overworked. Maybe I need to take a nice & relaxing getaway.

Haha, k, I be more specific. I looking for a nice relaxing getaway in a beach house overlooking the sea with hopefully no tankers in sight. It preferrebly be near Singapore as I can only affort to take 2 or 3 days off. If can do some fishing will be nice. Most importantly must be safe and romatic.

Tioman maybe?

its nearer to singapore than Bali or Langkawi and the beach is very nice.

i think Sibu is really too small leh... i went there once and was a little shocked at how small it was... but if you just want to go there relax your mind then should be ok...

The resort I went to had a nice semi-enclosed area where u can snorkel and see clams embedded in rocks....

bintan island is 45min away from SG by ferry quite relaxing too.

[hermit]

me wanna bring wife to nearby island for a small break, i am considering sibu island,

any one able to guide me on how am i goin abt with the trip??

how to get there and wat is the rate of the resort.............

[releeps]

Is Sibu island the one facing south china sea? The one with oen or two Kelong for fishing? Tink last time I go is about $100 per person..but 10 years ago

huh got kelong meh? Hm.. last time I went it was a proper resort.. small but resort nonetheless...

went to this coral island or what but only saw silty water and a few fishes that's all... so if you are there to see corals don't bother...

Price wise.. really cannot remember already... but should be cheaper than tioman
