Malaysia Interwoven
- A Secret Retreats journey -
This journey has been personally designed by Federico, the owner of Samadhi Retreats who has been living between KL, Singapore and Tioman Island most of his life. He is sharing with us what cannot be missed on the peninsula.
We can of course adjust according to your request.
Highlights of the Journey:
- Kuala Lumpur, and its Petronas Twin Towers
- The UNESCO twin sister town or Georgetown Penang and Malacca and their Perenakan heritage
- The Coral Reefs of Tioman Islands
- Wildlife in Sabah
Discover the vibrant contrasts of Malaysia on a journey where glittering skyscrapers meet ancient rainforests, and bustling cities give way to serene island escapes. Begin in Kuala Lumpur, a metropolis of soaring towers and hidden cultural gems, where Hindu temples, colonial relics, and sizzling street food await. Then, venture deep into the wild heart of Borneo, cruising the Kinabatangan River in search of pygmy elephants and orangutans before trekking through the primordial jungles of Danum Valley, one of the world’s oldest rainforests. Continue to the UNESCO-listed charm of Malacca, a living museum of Peranakan heritage, before unwinding on the pristine shores of Tioman Island, where turquoise waters and lush jungles invite relaxation. Finally, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Penang, where historic streets buzz with art, spice-laden cuisine, and grand temples.From the thrill of wildlife encounters to the tranquility of beachside retreats, this itinerary weaves together Malaysia’s most extraordinary landscapes, cultures, and flavors—crafting an adventure as diverse as the country itself.
