Malaysia Luxury Holidays

Truly Asian

A Magical blend of Cityscapes and Rainforests

Discover a real mix of influences and customs
 

Once overshadowed by more well-known destinations in Southeast Asia, luxury holidays in Malaysia have become increasingly popular. With stunning rainforest scenery, sandy beaches and an eclectic mix of cultural influences, it’s no surprise that this vibrant country has captured the heart of many discerning travellers.

Our selection of upmarket Malaysian resorts provide the perfect bases from which to explore this exciting nation. Whether you’re looking for a glamorous getaway in a colonial-style city hotel, a secluded hideaway nestled deep in the forest or a romantic beachside villa, we offer a range of handpicked 5 star Malaysian hotels to choose from.

Sightseeing

Malaysia offers visitors a unique mix of traditional and modern sights. Kuala Lumpur, the bustling capital city, is well worth a visit. Make your way around the markets of Chinatown to sample tasty street food and sip Teh Tarik - a strong, milky tea that comes highly recommended by the locals. Marvel at the architectural contrasts between the rustic wooden stilt houses and cutting-edge skyscrapers, including the iconic Menara KL telecommunications tower and the Petronas Twin Towers – the world’s tallest twin towers.

If you’re after something a little less fast-paced, take a cruise around Pulau Perhentian. Thanks to phosphorescent plankton, the sea surrounding these postcard-worthy islands literally sparkles by night. Many boat trips make an on-shore stop-off where you can soak up this magical sight next to a cosy beachside bonfire. By day, the azure waters and pearl-coloured sands make this the perfect place to unwind with a book or sip a refreshing cocktail.

For high tea with a difference, visit the verdant Cameron Highlands and sample some of the country’s most intoxicating infusions. Meanwhile, adventure-seekers can head to the Batu Caves. These stunning limestone formations can be found at one of Malaysia’s holiest Hindu sites and are great fun to explore, not least because they’re also home to troops of monkeys that will come and greet you. For more wild encounters, visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre for a rare chance to see conservation work in action and have a go at feeding these charismatic creatures yourself.

The perfect holiday

Our Malaysian luxury resorts are the perfect place to sample some of the most exquisite dishes this country has to offer. From traditional rendang curries and spicy satays, to freshly-caught seafood and fluffy roti flatbreads, our first-class accomodation offers guests an array of sensational food, drinks and unique experiences during their stay.
