Malaysia

Modern Kuala Lumpur, ancient rainforests, white sand beaches and a wealth of ethnic, cultural and culinary diversity – Malaysia offers the true travel experience.

Malaysia is a country with two distinct parts. Peninsula Malaysia constitutes the long fringe of land, extending down from Asia, which borders Thailand and Singapore. The South China Sea separates the mainland from the less populated East Malaysian provinces of Sabah and Sarawak.

Its capital, Kuala Lumpur, lies on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is an icon of the country’s prosperity. Characterised by the dizzying heights of the Petronas Twin Tours, it also offers bustling markets, shops, mosques and museums to explore.

Sit and absorb the tranquillity of the world’s oldest rainforest, Taman Negara, or relax in tropical surroundings at the stunning island resort of Pangkor Laut. You’ll find stunning mosques and museums in Malacca and a beautiful archipelago of 104 islands called Langkawi, ‘The Jewel of the Kedah’. Reach the summit of Mount Kinabalu – the highest point in South East Asia and visit the wonderful Orangutan Sanctuary within Sepilok’s vast rainforest reserve.

And don’t forget the incredible flavours of the country – a wonderful mix of Portuguese, Thai, Indian, Arab, Chinese and Indonesian influences – you’ll find spice-laden markets and mouthwatering street food everywhere you go.
