Proudly boasting some of the most beautiful beaches and mountain landscapes in Asia, in contrast with some of the most architecturally advanced buildings, Malaysia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world.
The mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures which make up this fascinating country are reflected in the food, languages and architecture.
A holiday in Malaysia can be tailored to your needs depending on which region you decide to visit. Kuala Lumpur, for example, is a modern city full of designer shops, luxury hotels, and skyscrapers. Borneo, on the other hand, is a vegetation-filled paradise full of tropical flowers and wild Orang-utans.
The beaches in Malaysia are particularly superb, with waters which are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving, and there are many excursions that can be visited during a holiday there, such as the Hindu shrine in Kuala Lumpur and the cable car ride up the mountain in Langkawi.
No summer holiday to Malaysia would be complete without a spot of shopping and the assortment of bazaars, night markets and shopping malls will keep even the most accomplished shopper busy.
