Malaysia has countryside, beaches and jungle. Borneo is a must for animal sightings, home to orangutans and elephants. I recommend a canopy boardwalk above the clouds at dawn to see the rainforest in a blue light.

Best described as an ‘eco-luxe’ resort, Japamala gives the

My husband and I stayed at the Datai for our honeymoon and wanted to take our kids back after the refurb. We needed Peter and Katie‘s guidance to help us create a trip memorable for more than a beautiful hotel and perfect beach. Kuala Lumpur was so much fun but – amazing food and we rushed about for 2 nights there before heading down to Sepilok to see the orangutans, our boys LOVED that. Thankfully the Datai was even better than we remembered it. Such an amazing family holiday. Thank you True Luxury.
