About Malaysia

From some of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests to scenic beaches and vibrant cities with towering skyscrapers, Malaysia offers a touch of paradise in a modern world. With a rich cultural heritage there is a variety of outstanding food to try as well as annual festivals and traditional architecture to see.

Malaysia is divided into two regions, Peninsular Malaysia, bordering Thailand and East Malaysia, and the northern half of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and Brunei. This opens up some spectacular opportunities for travel across Southeast Asia.

Temperatures in Malaysia tend to stay at a pleasant 30 degrees by day, however showers do occur year round, often in the mid-afternoon. Late November to mid-February sees the heaviest of rainfall, in what is locally known as the ‘monsoon rainy season’.

The bustling capital, Kuala Lumpur, certainly exhibits the delights of Malaysia with the contrast of the rainforest surviving among modern day skyscrapers, monorail tracks and multi-story shopping malls. You really can’t help but marvel at the impressive sights that surround you.

Away from the cities, Malaysia’s unspoiled national parks, wildlife reserves and paradise islands await you. The jungles and surrounding oceans, are full of rare exotic wildlife (including orangutans) as well as coral reefs that are brimming with turtles, sharks and tropical fish. Malaysia's dive sites rank among the best in the world. So if you want to combine home comforts whilst waking up in paradise, Malaysia could well be the next place you call home.
