Balik Pulau is a town within the city of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at the southwest of Penang Island, it is also the administrative centre of the Southwest Penang Island District.

The agricultural town of Balik Pulau was established in 1794 by the British East India Company. To this day, the economy of Balik Pulau still relies heavily on agriculture; Penang‘s most famous produce, including nutmegs, cloves and durians, are grown and harvested in the town. These have also contributed to the town’s growing tourism sector; Balik Pulau’s reputation for its wide variety of durians, for instance, attracts hordes of tourists between May and August each year.

While Balik Pulau, and by extension, the western part of Penang Island, is generally seen as quieter in comparison to the bustling city centre on the other side of the island, urbanisation has also reached the town in recent years, with more residential developments being planned for this part of Penang Island.

Balik Pulau is served by three major roads which intersect within the town centre. Jalan Balik Pulau connects the town with the fishing village of Gertak Sanggul near the southwestern tip of Penang Island. As the road is also part of the pan-island Federal Route 6 which loops around Penang Island, it also links Balik Pulau with the other major urban centres on the island.

Balik Pulau’s attractions are more agricultural, alluding to the huge role agriculture has played in the town’s economy and its laid-back pace of life. The town is famous for some of Penang’s most well-known products – nutmegs, durians and cloves. In recent years, agricultural tourism is booming in Balik Pulau, as tourists from other states and abroad flock to the town to sample fresh durians and nutmegs. For instance, Balik Pulau’s durian orchards, which produce a wide variety of durian cultivars, are best visited during the durian harvesting season between May and August each year. Balik Pulau’s nutmeg farms and shops also offer samples of nutmeg fruits and products, including nutmeg juice.
