Malaysia has become an increasingly popular holiday destination over the past 20 years or so, and it’s not hard to see why. Not only has international travel to this part of the world become more affordable and accessible than ever. Perhaps more importantly, it’s a location that still provides a unique vibe.

This atmosphere is a huge part of Southeast Asian nation’s charm. Therefore, if you’re planning a trip here in the future, you’ll be eager to enjoy an authentic experience. Here are the top items to put on your itinerary.


Where To Stay

Malaysia is a wonderful country, with many interesting places to visit. For most tourists, though, the capital of Kuala Lumpur will probably be the main destination.

The city has plenty to offer, and most people will enjoy various activities during their stay. Nonetheless, almost all visitors desire the type of hospitality and luxury that only Asia can provide. My best tip is to explore hotels in Kuala Lumpur options before doing anything else. After all, a stylish base camp will provide the perfect platform for the perfect Malaysian holiday. Moreover, an accommodation that embraces the local culture will provide a real insight into the heritage too.


 What To Eat

I’m not just saying it as a self-confessed foodie; food is crucial to any holiday. Asian cuisine is a firm favorite across the globe, and Malaysia is the ideal place to go. It’s a mixture of Malay, Chinese, and Indian flavors, and it’s sure to delight your tastebuds.

There’s no better way to do it than with the street foods in destinations like Penang. In truth, though, the whole country is packed with wonderful dishes that smell almost as good as they taste. Not only will the eating experience itself provide you with ample joy, but it will also give you the energy to enjoy activities to the max too.

What To Do

The experiences in the hotel and local eating establishments will inevitably influence your holiday. But no vacation is complete without embracing the attractions that the place has to offer. This is especially true when you visit a place that is as vibrant as Malaysia.


If you visit the Borneo part of the country, a trip to the Mulu Caves is essential. However, if you’re staying in and around Kuala Lumpur, there are still plenty of fantastic places to see. The Petronas Twin Towers are an incredible sight that no visitor ever forget. Meanwhile, those interested in nature won’t need to travel too far for Mount Kinabalu. 



For a truly authentic experience, you don’t just want to see the local attractions. Partaking in silat and other martial arts classes is a great way to learn about the culture. After all, those sporting activities are also about respect for heritage.

Planning ahead with the help of Google Trips can help you stay organized. Then again, a little spontaneous adventure can help you discover things that the guidebooks will never tell. It truly is a wonderful place to visit, and those natural adventures will ensure that you return home with enough stories to write an entire book. If those magic memories don't constitute a great holiday, I don't know what does.
