Holidays to Malaysia

Malaysia is a country divided into two by the South China Sea. To the west, Malaysia sits between Thailand and Singapore and is home to pristine white beaches as well as the modern, cosmopolitan capital of Kuala Lumpur. 800km to the East, the second half of Malaysia occupies the Northern part of Borneo and is covered in a dense, tropical rainforest full of exotic animals.

Although Malaysia is a relatively new country, having only gained independence from the British in 1957, there is a delightful mixture of rich heritage and culture just waiting to be explored. Discover delicious food in Penang, shop ‘til you drop in Kuala Lumpur and dive into the crystal clear oceans surrounding Malaysia.

Take in the natural surroundings of this country and experience the mixture of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences which make Malaysia unique and distinctive. Many tourists seem to bypass this beautiful country for its more popular neighbours but trust us, it’s worth a visit! Even if it is just to see the orang-utans in their natural habitat!
