The diver's value pick on Long Beach. Redang Pelangi has grown from a handful of chalets into a 46-room resort on the north side of Pasir Panjang, a short walk from one of the prettiest stretches of sand on the beach — and its calling card is the dive centre, which experienced divers regularly rate as one of the best on the island. Rooms (standards sleeping two to four, deluxe up to three) are clean, modern and simply furnished, with air-conditioning, hot showers and a small safe; the beachfront has hammocks, a volleyball court, a pool table and board games for the downtime. What it does not have is a swimming pool — the sea is the pool here — and the rooms are functional rather than smart. For a certified diver, someone who wants to learn, or a mid-budget snorkeller who values a great dive operation over polish, it is hard to beat.

Our independent tip
Pick Redang Pelangi for the diving above all — its dive centre is the reason it has a loyal following, so if you are certified, want to take an Open Water course or just want a serious dive operation on a mid-range budget, this is the one. Go in knowing there is no pool and the rooms are simple and functional: you are paying for the dive centre and the spot on the beach, not for resort polish. It suits divers, couples and groups more than families wanting a pool to keep young children busy between trips.
Indicative rate
Sold as per-person packages, not nightly rooms — a 3D2N snorkeling package starts from around RM 450 per adult on twin-share (the standard-room rate; a dive package adds roughly RM 300 more), including the return boat transfer from Merang, full-board meals and the snorkeling trips. Sea-view rooms, weekends and the Jun-Aug peak cost more. Indicative — check the current package rate.

Frequently asked questions
Is Redang Pelangi good for diving?
Yes — its dive centre is the resort standout, run by experienced instructors and regularly rated among the best on Redang. It sells dive packages alongside the snorkeling ones, so it suits both certified divers and people wanting to learn, which is the main reason to choose it over the other mid-range resorts.
Does Redang Pelangi Resort have a swimming pool?
No — like most Long Beach resorts it has no pool; the house reef and the sea are the draw, and there are hammocks, a volleyball court and a pool table for the downtime. If a swimming pool matters, Laguna or Coral Redang are the Long Beach resorts that have one.
Is Redang Pelangi good value?
Yes — it is a long-running, affordable mid-range resort, and you get a top-rated dive centre at a price below the bigger names. The trade-off is simple, functional rooms and no pool; you come for the diving, the beach and the package value rather than polish.
