Hundreds of island amidst several seas and geological history goes back to millions of years. Malaysia's numerous islands are fascinating marvels of nature and a national treasure. Some of the islands are well known and a national treasure. Some of our islands are known abroad for their heaven-like location, white golden sand palm-fringed shores and crystal-clear emerald waters.
Malaysia' bountiful natural assets of extensive coasts and islands of all shapes and sizes come with personalities and moods of their own: rustic, pristine, modern and a combination of all three. They can be easily accessible or they can lie hidden in their natural state in little nooks and corners away from beaten tracks.
From the legendary island of Langkawi to the fable dragon islands of Tioman and the breathtaking Sipadan with its volcanic corals walls, Malaysia's island extends an invitation to experience the tropical splendours. |
