Malaysia – Truly Asia
A holiday in Malaysia has something for everyone. Visit Malaysia to get a taste of all of Asia in a single destination
Malaysia boasts of unspoilt nature, endless white sand beaches, rich cultures, fabulous festivals and gastronomic delights. The country offers diverse experiences - from the excitement of Kuala Lumpur to the architecture and history of Penang, from the luxurious beaches and rainforests of Langkawi to the history and cuisine of Melaka.
The vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur is modern, brash and bold, home to the architectural urban wonder the Petronas Twin Towers, fashionable boutiques and restaurants dishing up cutting-edge cuisine.
A shopper's instinct, and an excuse to party, is all you need to enjoy Kuala Lumpur. At the break of dawn, hit the shops for some retail therapy. From the malls of Bukit Bintang to the splendor of Suria KLCC, you can shop in air-conditioned comfort for hours! At sundown, dance the night away at the country's premier party destinations.
After this modern metropolis, the quaint colonial streets of Penang and Kota Kinabalu in Borneo are a welcome break, with their cosy pubs and all-night coffee houses.
Often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is one of the most romantic cities of the East. Once a British trading post, it is today a bustling city with a unique blend of the East and West reflected in its heritage buildings, lifestyle, and the fabulous local cuisine.
Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah, is set against the backdrop of Mount Kinabalu and stretches for miles along the South China Sea coast. It's perfect for relaxing, snorkelling and a wide variety of watersports. A must-visit is the Signal Hill Observatory that offers a bird's eye-view of the city; the unique 30-storey Sabah Foundation Building; the State Mosque resplendent with its majestic domes and golden motifs; and the Likas Bird Sanctuary.
Langkawi, an archipelago made up of 99 islands on Malaysia's west coast, is the country's best-known holiday destination. Surrounded by stunning turquoise sea, the shoreline is fringed by powder-fine sand and swaying coconut trees. The interior of the main island is a mix of picturesque paddy fields and jungle-clad hills. The gastronomic options are vast and the sightseeing attractions include the expansive Underwater World Langkawi and the soaring Cable Car.
Snorkelling and scuba diving in the clear waters of Pulau Payar Marine Park is a must-do. Sailing, kayaking and power-boating around the many islands are other great options. Langkawi is also home to spectacular natural reserves that help protect local animal life
and make for great day
trips inland.
Malacca, located on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia facing the Straits of Malacca, is a melting pot of Malay, British, Dutch and Portuguese culture that is visible in its customs, heritage buildings, ancient landmarks and colonial structures in the old section of the city. The new section of the city lies across the Malacca River, and is home to modern shopping centres and a food and entertainment district.
For those seeking world-class leisure and entertainment, experiencing Genting Highlands Resort is a must. The resort has won numerous awards of excellence such as "Best Deluxe Family Resort/Theme Park", "Outstanding Achievements in Hotel/Resort Development" and "Asia Pacific's Leading Casino Resort 2001".
The resort's attractions include over 50 fun rides; 80 dining and 70 shopping outlets; six uniquely themed leisure walk boulevards at First World Plaza - the highest shopping centre in Malaysia at about 2,000 metres above sea level; Casino de Genting - a world-class gaming entertainment area; and many world class shows and events.
A holiday in Malaysia highlights the country's contrasting landscapes; the brown eagles circling high over the humid Mangrove Forests in Langkawi couldn't be more different than the Cameron Highlands with its serene gardens and tea plantations. The sight of turtles hatching on Turtle Island and orang-utans in Borneo are far removed from the steamy buffets and packed markets of the city centre.
Experience the sheer pleasure of a holiday in Malaysia!
