Ombak beach

Ombak is central beach in the west of Kapas Island, Malaysia. Views, swimming and snorkeling are good enough. Unfortunately, this small beach is totally overdeveloped with three major hotels. In addition, many daily tourists visit it during the weekends. Plus, there is a fire show every evening with loud music. So this is very overcrowded spot by the island's standards. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Kapas Coral Beach Resort is a four-star hotel with rooms' rates starting from US$60 per night. There are also few other hotels on Ombak Beach: Ombak Kapas Island Beach Resort and Kapas Boutique Chalet (KBC). Conditions are basic. But it's Ok for the money. In fact, there is nothing like four stars on the whole island. All the hotels on Kapas are either good two stars or bad two stars.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Kuala Lumpur international airport (KUL). Next get by domestic flight to Kota Terengganu airport (TGG). Then get by taxi to the pier of Marang town, and get by speedboat to Kapas island.

Attention! You should always ask your hotel about transfer options, as well as to book boat in advance for exact time and exact pier.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a holiday in Kapas island is a dry season from March to August.
