Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Desaru Coast

Once little more than mud and marsh, today KL, as it’s affectionately known, is a dazzling city smoothly blending old-world temples, grand mosques and a colonial past with soaring futuristic skyscrapers and glamorous shopping malls. It is incredibly easy to navigate, with the city centre itself delightfully compact and best explored on foot or via the extensive public transport network.

Start your discoveries at KL’s colonial core around Merdeka Square (Independence Square), whose handsome landmarks include the Royal Selangor Club and Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

The Desaru Coast, which lies on Malaysia's south east coast, entices with dreamy white sand beaches, superb resorts and a whole host of activities for all ages. Easily reached from within Malaysia and also Singapore, it's a fabulous option whether you are seeking a relaxing beach break or a fun-filled family holiday.

Attractions include the Adventure Waterpark, beautifully-manicured championship golf courses and a lovely coastline surrounded by lush rainforests and mangroves.  In addition, Riverside is a 23-acre waterfront landscaped retail and lifestyle village where you'll find exciting retail outlets, restaurants, cafes and entertainment.
