Malaysia holidays

Steeped in colonial history, culturally diverse, naturally beautiful and an adventure for your taste buds – Malaysia is remarkable in every sense. It is where the ultra-modern and traditional collide. Witness this in the dynamic capital of Kuala Lumpur, where soaring skyscrapers stand alongside historical temples. This bustling cityscape melts into the unspoilt shores of the East Coast and the breathtaking natural beauty of Malaysian Borneo.

Kuala Lumpur holidays

Bursting with energy where larger than life shopping malls and sky-skimming buildings sit beside traditional temples and nature sanctuaries. Often described as a melting pot of cultures, the colourful food-stall-lined streets highlight Kuala Lumpur’s love for gastronomy.

Langkawi holidays

Spend you holidays in Langkawi: relax on the beach, snorkel over the reefs or just perch on a barstool at a beach bar with a lychee cocktail. After this taste of Malaysia you might even want to explore the rest on a multi-centre holiday.

Borneo holidays

This extraordinary area is a cradle of life and over a third of the plant life is found nowhere else – including carnivorous plants, the largest flower in the world, orchids and of course the oldest rainforest trees in the world.
