asia
Occupying the Malay Peninsula and a large part of north western Borneo this friendly, modern and spectacularly varied country has so much to offer. Malaysia's vibrant capital city Kuala Lumpur is home to glitzy skyscrapers, colonial architecture and bustling markets.
Beyond Kuala Lumpur you can find verdant tropical jungles, the palm-fringed beaches of Langkawi or Penang along with secluded islands, vast tea plantations, charming historic cities and a wide range of luxurious resorts. There's so much to experience on a Malaysia holiday.
For those looking to get stuck into a real outdoors adventure, Malaysian Borneo offers an abundance of spectacular wildlife, incredible scenery, fascinating culture and unspoilt beaches.
Trailfinders offers a range of Malaysia holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Malaysia on a private tour with an expert guide, as an exciting multi centre holiday, a luxury beach break or a stopover to destinations further afield – they are the perfect people to ask.

Malaysia Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Abbi Harris
While in Kuala Lumpur head up the famous 'Skybar' @ Traders hotel, great cocktails and the best views of the Petronas towers await you. Catch the sunset as the city lights begin their night shift.
Chris Brimble
Kuala Lumpur is a brilliant city which is like a mix between Bangkok and Singapore. Highly recommend the food markets in Bukit Bintang of an evening. Great atmosphere and over 50 restaurants boasting tasty authentic street food.
Stephen Pain
The metro system in Kuala Lumpur is super easy to navigate and a great way to get around. For those who like to explore independently and feel that they are likely to use it a lot, it can be a really good idea to stay in a hotel close to KL Central station as this connects onto every train line.
