Malaysia

The Land of the Malays

From its captivating blend of cultures, futuristic cityscapes to its ancient rainforests and idyllic islands, Malaysia offers an extraordinary travel experience that will ignite your curiosity and refresh your spirit.

Imagine Langkawi's sun-drenched beaches fringed by rainforest, or Kuala Lumpur's vibrant markets beneath the gleaming Petronas Towers. Trek through Borneo's emerald, mist-shrouded rainforests, where exotic birds call and orangutans roam. Malaysia promises a feast for your senses and a refreshed spirit.


Did You Know? Malaysia is uniquely split between mainland Asia and the island of Borneo, offering immense diversity from vibrant cities and historical sites to ancient rainforests and indigenous cultures. It's truly two distinct worlds in one.


Ethos Travel Advice: Malaysia is a multicultural, yet conservative nation with Islam as the official religion. To show respect, dress modestly at religious sites, remove shoes when entering religious buildings and homes, use your right hand for transactions, and be mindful of public displays of affection.
