In the past one and a half or two decades, the Government of Malaysia has paid special attention to the development of a sector of the economy, such as tourism. High quality of service, many natural and man-made attractions make the rest in Malaysia interesting and pleasant.

In addition, Malaysia offers without exaggeration an excellent holiday at sea. And you can rest here all year round, and the weather here is almost always excellent. But if you are going on holiday with children or want, while in Malaysia, to plan an interesting saturated program, it is worthwhile to find out everything in advance in order to get rest at the highest level.

Expensive or cheap?

The main question, which interests most of the future guests of the country - is it expensive to have a rest in Malaysia. If you analyze the prices for food and accommodation, they will be slightly higher than in Thailand. However, the level of service here is much higher. Rest in Malaysia in December, or rather, in its second half, will cost more than at any other time: Christmas tariffs are much higher than usual.

Rest in Malaysia savage will be cheaper than buying a tour. However, there will be no problems with moving, eating and sightseeing. In addition, lovers combine "pleasant with useful", that is, rest with shopping , note that in Malaysia you can buy much better things than in Thailand.

Beaches of Malaysia

First of all, we determine where to go to Malaysia to rest, where the beaches are better, and where are the hotels , where to spend time with diving enthusiasts, and where to fishermen. Rest in Malaysia on advertising photos looks ideal for all regions of the country, and how it really is?

According to many guests of the country, Penang and Langkawi are among the islands of Malaysia, where it is best to rest. You can enjoy a rest in good hotels with a high level of service, and also lie on the sand. It is here that the resorts of Malaysia are located, where it is better to rest and where you just want to return:

  1. Blue Lagoon. The best vacation in Malaysia is on the beach with this name. The landscapes there are incredible, and the hotels are very high-level. If you simply get bored of spending time, you can always go water skiing, go diving or go windsurfing with windsurfing.
  2. Tioman . Some of the best beaches of Malaysia are located on the coast of this island. This place is rightfully included in the list of the most beautiful on earth. Not surprisingly, the local resorts are also considered one of the best. A feature of this beach is the neighborhood with tiger sharks, so the beauty of the local places is also with "pepper".
  3. Pangkor . The beaches of this island are also included in the rating of the best. This is the western part of the country, where the famous Emerald Bay is located - one of the most picturesque beaches in the world. Here are some fashionable hotels of the country.
  4. Penang. Be sure to visit one of the beaches of the island. These places are called pearls for nothing, because the combination of pure sand and emerald water create a sense of harmony. As a rule, tourists go there for an unforgettable beach holiday.
  5. Beaches of Borneo . Many tourists say that vacation in Borneo is the best in Malaysia. Here you will find sandy expanses, coral islands and picturesque greenery around. Remember that many hotels do not have their own beaches, but this in no way affects the quality of the holiday.
  6. Langkawi . For lovers of lying on the white sand, the best in Malaysia will be a beach holiday on the islands of the archipelago.

As for comfort, then at your service about 2 km of clean white sand and a lot of hotels on any purse.

Kuala Lumpur , the capital of Malaysia, does not offer beach holidays to its guests, but from there one can get to Langkawi or Penang. However, to spend time on the road will have a lot, so those who are going to visit the country solely for the sake of rest on the sand and in the gentle waters, it is better to settle in the capital, not in the capital.

Malaysia is the best holiday season

So, we decided on the beach. Now it's time to find out when it's better to relax in Malaysia, and also plan an entertainment program:

  1. Rain season. In fact, the beach season in Malaysia lasts all year round, just at one time of year it's better to have a rest in the east of the country, and in another - in the west. The rainy season in Malaysia on the east coast lasts approximately from January until the beginning of spring. On the western side at this time it is dry and warm. Beach holidays in Malaysia in May, June, July, August and early September are best spent on the eastern half, where at this time it is sunny and clear, while on the western side showers begin. It should be noted that the west is much softer in terms of the rainy season, and there are no strong downpours.
  2. Climatic features of recreation in Malaysia. These include heat and high humidity even in the dry season. Rest in Malaysia at the end of November, December, January and February is more suitable for those who do not tolerate the heat, because at this time the air temperature usually drops to the mark of +27 ... + 29 ° С, whereas in the rest of the time it is usually in the area + 33 ° С, and even rises higher. So, vacation in the west of Malaysia is best spent at the beginning of winter, and in the east of Malaysia the best holiday season is from the end of May to the end of September.

Features of rest with children

To leave with the kids left only good impressions, in advance, think over the following points:

  1. Where to spend? Families with kids should prefer the resorts of Borneo. There and the beaches are very good, and for the kids there are many excellent excursions and entertainment. But those who decided to relax on the islands of Pangkor and Langkawi, will have to go for impressions in Singapore , as there are practically no children's entertainment islands.
  2. When to go? What parents should pay attention to is the jellyfish season in that part of Malaysia where they are going to rest. For example, in Langkawi it lasts from November to February. However, a large number of jellyfish off the coast happens only after considerable precipitation, but still families with children should choose the time and place of rest so as to exclude any risk.

Other types of recreation

Among other types of recreation in the country are the following:

  1. Garden tourism. Tour operators form special offers for visiting picturesque Malaysian gardens. This know-how attracted even more tourists to the country. Also, the state actively develops ecotourism.
  2. Speleology. Malaysia is also popular among fans of speleological adventures - here you can visit many caves , both "ennobled", and "wild" and poorly studied.
  3. Medical tourism. The government is interested in developing this type of tourism. All private hospitals, which will take their institutions to a new level and can provide services to foreigners, will receive tax benefits. It is expected that by 2020 the number of guests of the country who have come for medical care will exceed 1.5 million people. Medical tourism can not be attributed to classical rest, but it is impossible not to mention it in this article.
  4. Event tourism. Those who choose a holiday in Malaysia in February will have the opportunity to see the amazingly bright and colorful spectacle of the New Year celebration in the Chinese calendar. It is noted here as widely and as large as in China, but still somewhat different, since the celebration is marked by the national color of Malaysia.
