Malaysia has a host of incredible islands – over 800 in fact! If you are planning to explore Borneo, look no further than Gaya Island Resort. Set on the tropical island of Pulau Gaya in a protected marine conservation area, this lovely resort offers a rainforest retreat just 15 minutes by speedboat from Kota Kinabalu.

Backed by lush jungle and fringed by sandy beaches, the hotel has stunning views of the South China Sea and the silhouette of Mount Kinabalu in the distance providing the ideal backdrop for complete rest and relaxation.

Set on a sweeping stretch of unspoilt beach overlooking the South China Sea sits Tanjong Jara Resort – a beautiful sanctuary designed in the traditional Malay style.

Spend your days relaxing by one of the pools, unwind with a treatment at the award-winning spa or choose from an excellent range of activities. The hotel also runs a fantastic seasonal turtle conservation initiative which guests can learn about and even take part in.

Dotted between Malaysia’s rainforest, beach and rolling tea country you’ll find captivating cities. Vibrant Kuala Lumpur will be the first stop for many travellers, and much like the city itself our favourite hotels range from the characterful colonial to the wonderfully modern.

History appreciators will love The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur – a lovingly restored landmark that oozes style and grandeur.

Up in the temperate hills of the Cameron Highlands you’ll find rolling tea plantations, incredible fauna and scenic forested walking trails.

Located at an altitude of 1,500 metres, Cameron Highlands Resort offers welcome respite from Malaysia’s tropical heat and the pretty surrounding area has long been described as ‘a little piece of England in Asia’. Promising nostalgia and colonial charm, this wonderful property is the perfect base from which to explore the area’s vast tea plantations and scenic jungle trails.
