About Malaysia


Malaysias capital is an imposing 24-hour city - whose humble origins are belied by todays gleaming 'high-rise' dynamism that offers an impressive glimpse into the architectural future.But within its ultra-modern confines - where BB Plaza is a shoppers delight - echoes of the bygone East still linger, and the city is home to ancient mosques and exotic gardens, a lively market and a traditional Chinatown, complete with colourful night markets. Add a visit to this cosmopolitan capital to a stay at one of the countrys beach resorts - and from here to the Genting Highlands casino and the cool of the Cameron Highlands.
April-September, when the weather is normally at its best, is a popular time to visit

Langkawi To the north is timeless Langkawi, largest of a cluster of 104 little islands - still relatively little developed, and outstanding in the improbable beauty of its unspoilt beaches and lush vegetation-covered hillslopes.

Pangkor Laut In the Straits of Malacca, just three miles offshore, is the tiny escapist enclave of Pangkor Laut, a private little paradise island. Its a very special place - chosen by those with a true taste for pampered escapism in style, enhanced by a stunning backdrop of dense tropical forest and secluded palm-shaded bays where unwinding is simply a matter of being here!

Penang Longest-established of Peninsular Malaysias major beach resorts, Penang Island lies amid the Straits of Malacca, linked by bridge with the mainland. Its Malaysia in microcosm - famously known as The Pearl of the Orient, a melting-pot of races and cultures, its capital of Georgetown rich in history, and the scenic contrasts of hills carpeted with plantations, traditional kampung villages, and inviting palm-fringed beaches that arehome to some of Malaysias most impressive resort hotels.
