Start your Journey
Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is one of Southeast Asia’s most modern cities, and a great place to begin your Malaysia holidays. With so much to see and do, we recommend spending at least three days exploring this cosmopolitan city.
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 the city, 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! Kuala Lumpur is also a shopper's delight, offering everything from high-end malls selling designer apparel to street markets brimming with local handicrafts.
Penang
Penang is renowned as Malaysia’s food capital and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to sample local Nonya cuisine. This is a mouth watering fusion of Chinese and Malay cooking styles, and it can be found everywhere in the city from street food stalls to fine dining restaurants.
Penang is also famous for its colonial heritage and vibrant night markets. You can also unwind on one of its beautiful beaches if you want to take a break from sightseeing.
One of the top things to do in Penang is exploring George Town! Gaze at its iconic street art and stunning temples as you stroll around its quaint streets, and savour its many culinary delights. Our experts recommend spending at least four nights in Penang to experience the best of what this amazing region has to offer.
Langkawi
Round off your Malaysia holiday on the sandy shores of Langkawi. After an eventful exploration of Kuala Lumpur and Penang, it's time to relax on this tropical paradise. The white sandy Datai Beach is one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, and offers postcard perfect views of the glittering sea.
Feeling adventurous? Hop on to the cable car that will take you to the SkyBridge, 708 metres above sea level. Enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding forests and the sparkling ocean. On a clear sunny day, you might even spot some of the Thai islands in the distance.
