Malaysia is a fascinating holiday destination offering something for everyone to enjoy. There are three distinct destinations in the country-Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia.  Visitors are often surprised to discover how developed the country is, yet rich and varied in cultural tradition. The country’s main gateway is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) near the capital.  Other major international airports are Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. Kuala Lumpur or KL is a modern cosmopolitan city boasting the world’s tallest twin towers towering at a height of 452m. Its architecture is representative of the country’s dominant cultures-the Malay, Chinese and Indian. 

Combined with the colonial legacy of the British and Moorish influences, KL has one of Asia’s most dynamic cityscapes.  Malaysia’s long coastline and many coral-fringed islands, with the Straits of Malacca to the west and the South China Sea to the east, give rise to a large number of fabulous beaches.

Islands like Langkawi, Tioman and Pangkor are world-renowned resort destinations. Penang is another island famous for its history, relaxing beaches and cultural mix.

Further south, Malacca is known for its history, museums and the peninsula with its laid back lifestyle, is the country’s cultural heartland. The states of Sabah and Sarawak await nature lovers and adventurers.

Discover the prolific marine life and dense rainforest while exploring the underwater world and wilderness of Borneo. Malaysia has many exciting places of interest and during a holiday of just two weeks, visitors will get a mere glimpse.

One thing’s for certain; everyone wants to return to discover more of Malaysia.
