Malaysia

Truly Asia, minus the crowds.

FamilyBeachFoodNatureCity BreakValue

Malaysia is South-East Asia with the friction removed: English widely spoken, distances short, prices gentle, and a food culture — Malay, Chinese and Indian on one table — that turns every meal into the day’s highlight. Kuala Lumpur’s skyline gives way within an hour to tea plantations, rainforest canopy walks or duty-free islands.

Families do brilliantly here. Langkawi pairs proper beach resorts with mangrove boat safaris; Penang adds street art and hawker stalls; and across the water, Borneo raises the stakes with orangutans and river cruises. It also joins beautifully to Singapore for a two-country trip without two flights.
