Malaysia offers a vibrant mix of oriental cultures and striking landscapes, from the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur, and the colonial architecture of Melaka, to the palm-fringed beaches of Pulau Besar island and the rolling green hills of the Cameron Highlands.
The country also boasts some of the world's best spas, each with their own distinctive character. You will be spoilt for choice, so don't hesitate to contact our travel experts to help you decide which option would be best for you. Our pick of the best spa resorts in Malaysia are:
Malaysia Airlines flies direct to Kuala Lumpur twice a day from London Heathrow and three times a week from Manchester.
The east coast can be very hot and wet from November to February. We recommend avoiding the change-over months of March, April and October. So, the best time to visit is from May to September, with July probably being the best month of all.
