Langkawi, Malaysia

Malaysia is a country that has a blend of fascinating and diverse cultures mixed in with exotic island retreats and eco-adventure options. Kuala Lumpur is the proud capital of Malaysia, combining high rise modern skyscrapers with intricate temples and mosques. If the chic city vibe isn’t for you then head over to the west coast where you’ll discover the islands of Langkawi and Pangkor. Both islands boast lovely beaches and a rural atmosphere making them a real island retreat.
