PENANG & LANGKAWI

A Malaysian holiday wouldn’t be complete without delicious food and gorgeous beaches. And Penang has both in spades. An island just eight miles wide and 16 miles long, the food scene here is on fire, with hawker food carts, fine dining and everything in between. Beach wise, Langkawi takes the crown with its powdery sands and coral reefs brimming with tropical fish. It’s the perfect place to finish your Malaysian retreat. Relax under a palm tree with a good book, or don your hiking boots and explore the island’s rainforest interior.

Dig deeper into the contrasts of Malaysia on a journey that swings through the countryside from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Enjoy a balance of guided exploration and free time, starting in the capital, where a morning orientation leads to an afternoon of following your nose. Journey into Taman Negara to walk through the jungle after dark, stroll along elevated platforms in the forest canopy, ride longboats on rivers, and swim beneath waterfalls. Find the Cameron Highlands’ natural treasures at tea plantations, strawberry, butterfly, and insect farms, or at markets loaded with fresh fruit and flowers. Move to Penang, a beach island where Buddhist temples stand among colonial buildings in historic George Town. Then relax on the beach, in coastal villages, or among the green hills of Malaysia’s smallest national park. Finally, reflect on your adventures in a villa surrounded by nature and wildlife at Pangkor Laut Resort, a luxury property set on its own private island. All in all, this is a beautiful way to get to know the many faces of Malaysia.

CITY NATURE

KUALA LUMPUR & BORNEO

Cambodia

If you’re looking for a trip that combines an urban jungle with a wild one, look no further than a twin-centre holiday combining Kuala Lumpur and Borneo. Kick things off in Malaysia’s bustling capital, where ancient architecture and glittering skyscrapers sit side by side. Stand in the shadows of the famous Petronas Twin Towers and browse vibrant street food markets. Next, leave the city buzz behind and make tracks for Sabah in Borneo. Delve deep into the plentiful national parks in search of wild orangutans, hike Mount Kinabalu, or simply chill on the pristine beaches.
