Harrera Perhentian

Such a chill and dreamy spot! The staffs were super friendly, and the vibe was just amazing. Great value for the sea and sunrise view you get. Would totally come back for more sunrise and sandy toes!

We recently spent a few days at Harera Resort, Perhentian, and it was such a memorable experience! It’s not a fancy or luxurious place, but it has a warm, nostalgic charm that made us feel right at home. Our villa was simple—made of wood, equipped with fans and a decent bathroom (watchout of water pressure. Slightly low pressure, alternatively you can choose to shower at public bathroom at lower deck which is very clean and good water pressure). It really gave off that cosy kampung house vibe. Perfect for those who enjoy a more down-to-earth, laid-back stay. What truly stood out was the hospitality. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a lovely couple who run the place. They were incredibly sweet and even let us check in early, which was a huge plus. While waiting, we sipped on some freshly made lemonade—absolutely refreshing in the heat! To get to Harera, it’s about a 500-600 metre walk from the jetty. Just look out for the path heading towards Matahari Chalet, hike a little uphill, and you’ll find Harera nestled there. A quick tip: bring mosquito repellent and any personal necessities, as it’s a bit more nature-friendly. One of the highlights was having a BBQ right outside our villa. We brought our own grill and used the surrounding rocks as a stand—it worked perfectly! The owner even offered us his Bluetooth speaker, which really added to the vibe. All in all, it was a beautiful, heartfelt stay filled with sweet memories. Thank you, Harera, for making it so special!
