    Malaysia`s picture perfect white sand beaches and year round travel season means they are the envy of their Southeast Asian neighbours!

  • 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.

The atmospheric streets of Malacca are redolent with traces of the city’s illustrious past.

Colonial history

The Portugese recognised its strategic location and considerable fortune in the 16th century, and Malacca grew to become one of Asia’s greatest trading ports. The Dutch followed towards the end of the 1500s and left behind their own striking architecture.

The traditional Istana and colonial Christ Church, bright with red brickwork, are focal points, and the winding streets of Chinatown dotted with ancient temples and traditional shop-houses are delightful to explore.
