Location 1

Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 islands on the west coast of Malaysia. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea, the main island offers a mixture of picturesque paddy fields, dense jungle, exotic wildlife and tranquil waterfalls. The expansive shoreline is fringed with romantic white-sand beaches and swaying coconut trees. Sample local cuisine at the night markets, ride a cable car over the island, cross the world’s longest skybridge, hike through the tropical rainforest or scuba dive to glimpse at life beneath the sea. Then retreat to the deluxe 5-star suites at the Tanjung Rhu Beach Resort, where the staff are an absolute delight and can’t help you enough. It’s a dream destination.

Location 2

Kuala Lumpur is the capital and beating heart of Malaysia. Its modern skyline is dominated by the 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers, a pair of glass-and-steel-clad skyscrapers with Islamic motifs. Home to numerous mosques and temples, Kuala Lumpur is a city full of history. We will explore many Buddhist temples and Hindu shrines, in particular Batu Caves with its large golden statue of deity Lord Murugan, god of war and son of Shiva and The Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Kuala Lumpur’s oldest Hindu temple. The local culture and the art scene are fully incorporated into these temples; each one boasts a unique and spectacular design.
The glamorous Shangri-La Hotel is in a prime location and offers a relaxing break from city life. Stay in their exquisite suites and taste their extensive dining choices, you’ll feel utterly spoilt!

Location 3

Pangkor Laut is a privately owned island located three miles off the West Coast of Malaysia. This piece of paradise has been 2 million years in the making, and here you will find one of the world's premier resorts nestling in the shade of forest giants as old as the land. You will find no other resorts - just secluded bays curled around pristine beaches, evening skies woven with colour, and a deep sense of serenity. A combination of luxury, natural beauty and age-old wilderness woven together to produce an environment where peace and magical moments are the currency. Wooden buildings blend seamlessly into the forest as if nature had been the architect dictating how walls curve around foliage, and roofs open up to allow trees to continue on their journey to the sky. Nature is respected here, almost revered, and it rewards visitors in ways that simply need to be experienced.
