25. Malaysia: offering two unique avenues, the peninsula and

Borneo. Borneo is an exotic island shared with Indonesia and

Brunei. Together, they give a taste of what Malaysia has to

offer—urbanity and adventure, respectively.

24. The peninsula is a wonderful blend of Malay, Chinese and

Indian cultural, cuisine and century old traditions. At night, it is

a stunning place for a carefree stroll with your loved one.

23. Malaysian Borneo

The Malaysian Borneo offers an abundance of lush wild

jungle life, granite peaks and even remote tribes. Surrounded

with exquisite islands, luxury resorts and colonial towns, you

could not pick a better location for a romantic vacation.

Approximately 2 million tourists visit Malaysia yearly. Not only

will your days be loaded with amazing sites but some of the

world's finest lodgings meeting or going far beyond your wildest

expectations. From island getaways to 5 star luxury hotels.

22. Cameron Highlands

First developed by the British in the 1920s, Cameron

Highlands boasts a population of 34,000 people. Known for its

extensive trails which lead visitors through lush forests, grand

book several unique "Tea Factory" tours.

21. Georgetown

Take a step back in time in this beautiful colonial town

named after Britain's King George III. Georgetown is located in

the north east corner of Penang Island and retains its colonial-era

shops that maintain this old world style due to strict ordnance

controls. Without parallel, Georgetown is recognized for its

unique architectural and cultural design, separating it from

anywhere in Southeast Asia. Nightlife comes alive as locals head

out for their festive evening of meals and drinks.

20. Taman Negara

Translated to "national park", Taman Negara is one of the

oldest tropical rain forests in the entire world. Lush, massive

trees, waterfalls, jungle treks and the world's longest canopy

walkways. Visitors have several trail options for exploring the

forest without guides. Although Taman Negara is a haven for

endangered species such as Asian elephants, tigers, leopards and

rhinos, the number is quite low and sightings extremely

rare. You are more likely to run into birds, deer, snakes, lizards

and possibly a tapir!

19. Pulau Tioman

If a romantic paradise is on your list, Pulau Tioman is the

perfect place to visit. In the 1970s, this small island was dubbed

one of the most beautiful islands in the entire world (by Time

Magazine). Tourist attraction has been on a steady growth ever

since. The island is surrounded by white coral reefs, making this

the perfect haven for scuba divers. While visitors outnumber

villagers (outside the monsoon season November through

February), Tioman can be quite deserted the rest of the year.

18. Langkawi Islands

Langkawi consists of two island areas, Southern Islands with

heavy tourism and the two more secluded islands to the

Northeast. Langun Island offers a fresh water lake vacant of

tourism and the Sand Spit Beach on the South.

stretches of fine white sand and numerous restaurants and bars

for a fun evening of entertainment.

16. Pantai Tengah

Pantai Tengah is separated from Cenang by a small cape and

faces the west for an astonishing sunset. This island offers more

hotels then bars and is therefore less active in the evening hours.

Great for a serenely romantic trip.

12. Great Spots in Langkawi

Langkawi is one of Malaysia's most popular West Coast beach

locations. With historical attractions, an exciting nightlife and

inexpensive shopping it can't be beat. Langkawi's beaches are

among the very best in world and their inland roads are very easy

to drive along and are usually quite deserted. While staying in

this area, there are some sites that should not be overlooked.

wonderful souvenir shops and enjoy its magnificent oriental

garden. The cable reaches the first station approximately 600

meters. Visitors disembark to take in the Langkawi's beautiful

cable car that goes on to the peak of the mountain. Upon

reaching the top, visitors will be greeted with snacks, drinks, toys

and souvenirs. Climb the staircases which cut through a forest

This mosque is considered the largest in Langkawi. Its

beautiful peach and gold structure is situated west of Lagenda

Langkawi Dalam Taman and is topped with a beautiful golden

dome. It is located within walking distance to many of Kuah's

duty free stores as well. Unlike many mosques in the area,

Al-Hana is of Moorish style architecture, erected in 1959. We

recommend Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort for this trip.
