Malaysia offers some of the best beaches in Asia, particularly on the quiet east coast islands such as Redang and the Perhentien Islands. Japamala’s white sand beach on Tioman Island is especially idyllic.
On the west, the long stretch of casuarina-fringed sand at Tanjung Rhu in Langkawi, Emerald Bay on Pangkor Laut and Datai Bay on Langkawi are amongst our favourite beaches in Malaysia.
In Borneo, the beaches are less developed in general and some of the best beaches in Borneo are to be found along the stretch of coastline Northeast of Kota Kinabalu, including the beach at Shangri-la Rasa Ria Resort.
