Rawa Island is a coral island off the east coast of Johor, Malaysia, 16 km by boat from Mersing town. The island is famed for its white coral sand, tall palm trees and coral reefs with neon-coloured fish and other exotic marine life.
"Rawa" is the local term for white doves, which are abundant in the island. One side of the island is a beach covered with white sand, while the other side has a rocky vertical cliff. Sharks Blacktip reef sharks can be found feeding in the sea off Rawa.
This quiet island only has two choices of accommodation on it. There are 2 resorts on the island (Rawa Safaris and Alang's Rawa).
The wooden chalets nestled amongst coconut groves complement the island's reputation as a quaint hideaway, perfect for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Other than relaxing on the beach, some prefer to relax in a different method with activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving and spear fishing. Utilities and equipment for such activities are available at certain booths on the island.
