Dnamie Glamping & Chalet
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Dnamie Glamping & Chalet sits on the jungle path between Coral Bay and Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil — two to ten minutes' walk from either bay. The draw is comfort: air-conditioned luxury tents with private bathrooms and garden chalets, a step up from the island's typical basic fan rooms. Reviewers praise the strategic location, friendly staff, welcome drinks and a restaurant serving local to international food. The tents have proven 'absolutely solid' in heavy downpours. The honest catches: several low-star reviews flag cleanliness issues (mold on tent fabric, sand in bed), water supply can fail entirely for days, and the basic fan tents share decent-but-basic toilets. Booking mix-ups have also been reported — confirm your unit type before paying. Cheaper than Long Beach beachfront stays, but read recent reviews before committing.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — Island-only access: speedboat from Kuala Besut jetty (~30–45 min) to Perhentian Kecil, disembark at Coral Bay and walk ~5 min inland. Property sits on the jungle path between Coral Bay and Long Beach (plus code WP89+96 Pulau Perhentian Kecil). No vehicle access; monsoon (Nov–Feb) can disrupt boat services.

Dnamie Glamping & Chalet offers air-conditioned luxury tents and garden chalets in a quiet garden strip between Coral Bay and Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil. Location is the headline — never more than a ten-minute walk from either bay — and the A/C tents with private bathrooms are a rare comfort level for island 'camping'. The on-site restaurant, free WiFi and friendly staff round out the experience, and the tents have survived heavy downpours intact. Lower-star reviews warn of cleanliness lapses, occasional water failures and booking mix-ups, so confirm your unit and read recent reviews.
