Brimming with colour, flavour and cultural complexity, Malaysia is one of the world’s great cosmopolitan destinations. From the soaring highs of bustling Kuala Lumpur to the jungle thrills of lush Borneo, beachside bliss in Langkawi to foodie fantasies in Penang, the sheer breadth of travel experiences makes Malaysia a uniquely rewarding choice for your next holiday, no matter your travel style.
Though Malaysia is a beautiful destination for year-round travellers, the ideal time to travel is between November and February. With milder temperatures and less rainfall on the beachy west coast, the weather is at its most pleasant in the country’s most popular destinations. For those seeking an East Coast adventure, or a deep dive into Kuala Lumpur, July to August offers balmy conditions with much less chance of anything raining on your parade. Regardless of which month you choose, Malaysia boasts warm and welcoming weather across its many islands.
Thanks to a broad latitude of beachy coastlines and myriad islands, Malaysia is a beach-lovers dream. Picturesque Penang offers Shangri-La luxury at their Rasa Sayang or Golden Sands resorts, while five-star One&Only Desaru Coast typifies Malaysian luxury in the country’s lush southeast. Among Malaysia’s most popular beach destinations is Langkawi, where white-sand beaches and azure waters come to life at a host of luxurious resorts. Lounging and long walks on the beach are the name of the game here, from The DANNA LANGKAWI with its three-tiered infinity pool to the private pleasures of Rebak Island Resort & Marina.
Renowned for its aromatic cuisine, innovative design and lively atmosphere, Kuala Lumpur is also a world-class shopping destination. Whether you’re stepping into the one-stop Bukit Bintang mall district, sifting through second-hand scores at the city’s countless thrift stores, or following the smell of fragrant street food to Petaling Street – Kuala Lumpur’s famed Chinatown – you’re sure to find a wide range of local boutiques, street vendors, megastores and masterful cooks at every turn. For the arty adventurer, a trip to GMBB Mall pairs shopping with exhibition, and the chance to discover the work of local artists in a host of studios.
