Malaysia offers a superb mix of old and new: a melting pot of Asian cultures and traditions, diverse tropical landscapes (including some of the oldest rainforest in the world at Taman Negara), temperate highlands, modern cities and friendly fishing villages unchanged for generations.

Whether you are looking for simple but comfortable boutique hotels or stylish 5-star accommodation whilst exploring the scenic tea plantations, charming shophouses of Chinatown, bright lights of KL or white sand beaches of the islands and east coast, Audley offers a variety of tailor-made packages.

For those seeking luxurious accommodation we have a special offer for travel up until 31 July or between 1 September and 31 October 2008. You may choose to start your trip with a stay at the award winning private island resort of Pangkor Laut or the Malay-styled Tanjong Jara on the quiet east coast. Both resorts offer exquisite service and accommodation with a traditional Malay touch, signature spas and superb cuisine. For those wishing to combine relaxation with a little exploring we recommend the Tanjong Jara: from here you can visit local villages away from the tourist trail where cottage industries still flourish, mangrove forests teem with wildlife and the diving at nearby Pulau Tenggol is magnificent.

From the beach perhaps head to the Cameron Highlands: beautiful, temperate tea plantations in the centre of the country where afternoon tea with scones, jam and cream provides a wonderful reminder of the colonial days. The jungle trails cater for the more energetic and the resident guide at the Cameron Highlands Resort will be happy to advise.

To gain a real sense of the history of Malaysia through periods of Portugese, Dutch and British occupation a night or two in one of the port towns of Malacca or Georgetown is a must. As well as historical trails both towns have fascinating Chinatown areas with shophouses producing everything from coffee to Buddhist tributes using traditional techniques. The Majestic Malacca is the only luxury boutique property in the area and is housed in a renovated Chinese mansion.

The buzzing capital of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur - with its gleaming Petronas Towers juxtaposed against tranquil lake and orchid gardens makes for a varied and exciting stopover. In the heart of the shopping and entertainment district is the Ritz Carlton, a classic butler service property offering the hospitality that the Ritz Carlton name is famous for.
