Reasons To
Visit Malaysia

  • Beaches

    Malaysia`s picture perfect white sand beaches and year round travel season means they are the envy of their Southeast Asian neighbours! From the private island of Pangkor Laut, long quiet beaches around Kuala Terengganu, popular white sand beaches on Langkawi and hidden gems on small islands off the East coast.

  • Colonial history

    UNESCO sites Malacca and George Town were once cities which rose from humble fishing villages to become major centres of the spice trade. Four centuries of European influence have left behind rich cultural icons including Dutch churches, remnants of ruined Portuguese and British fortresses and imposing town halls.

  • Highland scenery

    Enjoy the peace and solitude around the Cameron Highlands, following jungle trails to streams, lakes and waterfalls, or take time to visit one of the nearby tea plantations.

  • Jungle scenery

    Explore Taman Negara National Park on foot, by boat and even 25 metres up in the jungle on a canopy walkway. Climb Teresik Hill, swim in the water holes around the rapids of Lata Berkoh or just walk amongst the flora of the oldest rainforest in the world.

Eastern and Oriental Hotel

Penang

Founded in 1885 by the Sarkies brothers who were later to build Singapore’s Raffles, the Eastern and Oriental was once considered the finest hotel east of Suez.

Now renovated and restored to its former glory, complete with pith-helmeted doormen, it has wonderful views over the Straits of Malacca – especially from the swimming pool – and an imposing location in the heart of the city’s historic centre.

All 101 guest suites are fitted with colonial furnishings over polished wooden floors and have a full butler service.
