Where to stay in Malaysia?

Mystery, exoticism and tribal clans are just some of the words and ideas associated with Malaysia. It is a country of wonder and imagination, a place to be explored at leisure, from the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur to the world of endangered species and mountain tribes at Bario.

Malaysia is a country of two halves, with Peninsular Malaysia attached to Thailand and Malaysian Borneo across the way over the East Sea. The hotels in Malaysia span both areas, covering a wide range of types of hotels Malaysia has to offer.

Highlights of Peninsular Malaysia

A popular attraction is the Cameron Highlands, the biggest hill station where you can indulge in jungle treks, see the ugliest rose (the green rose) among 450 varieties in Rose Valley, and sample delicious tea.

For shopping delights, take a trip to Kuala Terengganu on the east coast. The market place is the focal point of the town where silverware, batik and silk can be bargained for at reasonable prices. In the heart of the country is Taman Negara National Park with 130 million year old jungle, roaming barking deer and wild ox, and the highest mountain on the peninsula.

For something unexpected, visit the supposedly haunted Kellie’s Castle, built by an eccentric Scotsman in the 19th century. Nearby is Tambun Cave, featuring cave drawings believed to be 10,000 years old, and Tambun Hot Springs where you can bathe in the two swimming pools and take a sauna.
