10 Reasons to Holiday in Malaysia

1. Glorious beaches and islands

Discover a collection of breathtakingly beautiful white sandy beaches and islands dotted along the coast of Malaysia.  Try the Perhentian Islands, Langkawi or Tioman Island.

2. The buzz of Kuala Lumpur

Experience a dazzling clash of ultra-modern architecture and ancient street markets. Kuala Lumpur has grown at a breathtaking rate in recent years but has somehow managed to retain its unique mix of charm, smells and traditions.  Make sure you include a couple of days here at the start or end of your holiday.

3. Wildlife

Malaysia is famous for the Orang Utans of Borneo, but is also home to the cheeky proboscis monkeys and other mammals, birds, invertebrates, fish and other amazing creatures too.  In fact, each year as more previously untouched rainforest is explored, more wildlife is being discovered.

Get Married in One of the World’s Most Beautiful Places

With the cost of weddings in the UK skyrocketing over the past ten years, it’s no surprise that weddings abroad are becoming more and more popular, often costing a fraction of a UK wedding.

The secluded islands of Greece, Cyprus and the coastline of Turkey are popular, but couples are increasingly looking to go further, to places such as Cuba or Malaysia for a more exotic setting.

Just imagine taking your vows on the sun-drenched shore of a tropical paradise island when all you can hear is the gentle lapping of the waves – that’s the magic and romance of Malaysia. Contact Malaysia Experience and a personal advisor will be happy to make all the arrangements for a very special day.

Wedding Abroad

Or why not head to Cuba for a wedding set in the colonial buildings of Havana – perfect for a nostalgic white wedding – or get married to the sounds of live Cuban music on beautiful sandy beach.  There are plenty of options in Cuba, and with the injection of a bit of Cuban personality, all are guaranteed to be very memorable indeed.  Contact Captivating Cuba for more information.

Take a walk on the wild side in the World’s Oldest Jungle

With flora and fauna that has developed without disruption for hundreds of millions of years, there is really is no place on Earth like Taman Negara in Malaysia. There are over 4343 kilometres of jungle to explore!

For those who love gentle walks, serious trekking, active pursuits or simply observing the many varieties of animals, birds and insects that inhabit the jungle this really is heavenly.

A true highlight is the canopy walkway – the longest on Earth – which takes you across the top of the jungle at 45 metres high and 510 metres long. As they say at the park, if you haven’t experienced the canopy walkway, you haven’t experienced Taman Negara. No pressure.

To organise a holiday at Taman Negara, speak to the Malaysia specialists, Malaysia Experience.
