Best Time to Visit Malaysia
Year round, although November to February brings rain to the East, whilst August does likewise for the West. Those interested in a Malaysia wedding or Mayalsia honeymoon may want to bear this in mind.
Best Beaches in Malaysia
Head East for some of Malaysia’s best beaches, with Penang and Lagkawi offering some of the country’s finest. If you’re wanting particular beaches to keep an eye out for, you may want to give Tanjung Bungah, Teluk Bahang or Batu Ferringhi a whirl.
For Activity Lovers
Tennis and golf are popular in Malaysia and there are plenty of opportunities to give them a go. But to get maximum out of the country, why not go trekking, snorkelling or diving - with beautiful scenery and fascinating marine life, it would be a shame not to.
Local Flavours of Malaysia
Due to its geographical location, Malaysia is at somewhat of a crossroads in terms of cuisine, with inspirational dishes from China and India combining with traditional Malay flavours to create wonderfully tempting meals and diverse menus. Chicken Satay is a local speciality or why not join the locals and partake in a traditional buffet. Seafood is readily available and asam laska (a sour fish based soup served with noodles) is particularly popular in Malaysia.
On a Night in Malaysia
Buzzing, but not thumping, would be a good way to describe Malaysia’s nightlife. If you are looking for something on a par with Ibiza then you won’t find it here. What you will find however is a huge selection of bars, restaurants and clubs catering for all tastes and preferences – except all you Cream and Manumission fans of course!
Shopping in Malaysia
Local handicrafts are abundant and make great souvenirs and gifts – pewter, silver and brass items are particularly easy to track down. Cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur plays host to some great shops and malls and is a good place to head if you are looking for something more modern.
Top Resorts in Malaysia
Langkawi and Penang are a haven for beach lovers and combine history and tranquillity in equal measure. The capital city of Kuala Lumpur is both lively and colourful and is excellent for all you shopaholics out there. For a more sedate Malaysia honeymoon, head for nearby Borneo, the world’s third largest island, where wildlife and nature are in abundance.
Out & About in Malaysia
Malaysia is a sightseers paradise with modern day wonders such as the huge world-famous Petronas Towers, sitting hand-in-hand with colonial eloquence and stunning mosques and temples. A visit to Borneo to see the orang-utans of Sandakan and nesting turtles of Selingan is a must. For those of you who haven’t spent all of you energy on a night in bed (you honeymooners know what we mean!) then why not take a guided climb up Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia.
