Centuries of traders have been attracted to Malaysia for its natural minerals of spices, silks, silver and tin ore.
The natural qualities of this land continue to appeal, but it is now the warm blue seas and beautiful beaches that entice travellers. The capital city of Kuala Lumpur offers a fascinating combination of East and West with its mingling of modern skyscrapers and traditional street markets.
Along the north-west coast you can unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city in one of the many beautiful beach resorts. Penang has attractive scenery and good watersports while the picturesque resort of Langkawi is a quiet escape with its fishing village and deserted beaches.
Malaysia is an ideal destination for those wanting to combine a cosmopolitan city break with a relaxing beach holiday.
