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.

4. Culture and heritage

From a wide range of influences – including English, Malay, Indian and Chinese – Malaysia has a rich and diverse culture. From the modern city-types in the skyscrapers of KL, to the tribes in traditional wooden longhouses of Borneo get out and about and you’re guaranteed a varied holiday and a melting pot of cultures.

5. Rainforest

Discover Taman Negara, a 130 million year old rainforest is sanctuary to countless birds, butterflies, insects, fish, plants and animals.

6. Shopping

From designer shopping malls in KL, to the indigenous arts and crafts on sale in open-air markets across Malaysia, you’ll find great deal or two if your bartering skills are up to it.  The pound goes a long way in Malaysia, so you may want to bring an extra case or two!

7. Fun in the water

Make the most of the clear under-water visibility and tropical temperatures.  Try waterskiing, snorkelling, jet skiing, diving, or simply paddling.

8. Self-drive holidays

Left-hand driving, a good road infrastructure between cities and outstanding natural beauty make Malaysia a great destination for a self-driving holiday.

9. Delicious cuisine

Stemming from a range of diverse cultures, you’ll find a fantastic array of dishes in Malaysia.   Enjoy fresh seafood, tropical fruits and tantalising spices courtesy of the Indian and Thai influence.

10. Elegant luxury

From the award winning Pangkor Laut Island Resort to the Ritz Carlton in KL, you find a wealth of luxurious hotels in Malaysia

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.

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.
