Malaysia

Fascinating Malaysia has everything you would wish for in a holiday destination from beautiful beaches, enchanting marine parks, exciting cities and ancient rainforests.  Malaysia is divided by the South China Sea into two main areas, Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah & Sarawak which are located on the island of Borneo. 

Malaysia’s most visited destinations are probably the bustling capital city of Kuala Lumpur, and the islands of Penang and Langkawi.  But there are many more exciting areas to enjoy.  The lush tea growing area of the Cameron Highlands and the cultural town of Melaka are must see destinations.

The unspoilt East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia has stunning deserted beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.  The island of Redang has superb powder white beaches with crystal clear seas, and being part of a marine park is a diver’s paradise.   

Located in the heart of Peninsular Malaysia, Taman Negara National Park at 130 million years old, it is the World’s oldest tropical rainforest and is easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur and the East Coast. 

The states of Sabah and Sarawak on the Northern coast of Borneo, are a nature lover’s paradise.  Sabah is home to Mt. Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia.  It is possible to trek to the summit of this impressive mountain and witness sunrise over the jungle below.  Sabah’s dramatic landscape is home to many animals, including Asian elephants and orangutans.  The Sipadan Islands off the coast of Sabah, are known as one of the best dive sites in the World. 

Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia and it’s rainforest is the size of Austria.  Home to the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world.  It has twenty seven different ethnic groups, each with their own languages and culture, you can get a fascinating insight into their lifestyle by choosing to stay a night or two in one of their longhouses during your holiday.
