Start your Journey
Kuala Lumpur
We recommend spending at least three nights in Kuala Lumpur to experience the best of what this vibrant city has to offer. For incredible views of the majestic Petronas Towers, we recommend staying at the Traders Hotel. Its location in the centre of the city makes it an ideal base for sightseeing, shopping and eating out.
As you explore Kuala Lumpur, you’re sure to be intrigued by its varied architecture. Modern buildings sit right beside ancient temples and colonial-era structures, making a walking tour of the city a fascinating experience! Along the way, stop at one of the city's many Michelin starred restaurants or street food stalls to sample the local delicacies.
Kuala Lumpur is also a shopper's delight, offering everything from high-end malls selling designer apparel to street markets brimming with local handicrafts.
Borneo
The lush green rain forests of Borneo are your next stop on your multi centre Malaysia holiday. This famous island is home to a fascinating range of flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for wildlife lovers. The region's most renowned resident is the endangered orangutan, and Borneo is one of the best places in the world to observe them.
We recommend staying at the Shangri – La’s Rasa Ria Resort and Spa for seven nights to make the most out of your trip to Borneo. The resort owns a nature reserve and orangutan rehabilitation centre, so you can visit the gentle creatures up close. There’s also a long stretch of secluded beach where you can relax after a busy day out in search of wildlife.
