By Irvin Hanni
Lock in the love and reignite the fire in your relationship with an exotic romantic holiday in Malaysia. A country rich in natural beauty as well as in culture and heritage, you can be sure that whichever destination picked, a memorable affair awaits you love birds.
Intimate Island Fling
Nothing beats soft waves crashing gently on the glistening golden sands and swaying palm trees to serenade your lover. Malaysia with its wellknown stunning shores offers plenty of that for the perfect island honeymoon. Begin your love journey by pampering your sweetheart with the ultimate spa retreat at blissful Tanjong Jara or Pangkor Laut. Or marvel at Tioman Island’s gorgeous and colourful palate of corals and fishes while snorkelling together hand in hand. Your love is priceless; why not splurge on a private yacht cruise at Langkawi Island where you luxuriate in scenic sunset sail over the Andaman Sea. If you are after an intimate night under the stars, Kapalai Island lets you enjoy each other’s embrace while sipping champagne on your private bungalow deck, overlooking the beautiful and serene Celebes Sea. A private romantic candle light dinner on a secluded beach in Perhentian Island can also be arranged, chaperoned only by sultry breeze and the bright moonshine.

Sand and sea not your cup of tea? Then, keep the passion burning with lots of warm hugs amidst cool climate at some of Malaysia’s most enticing nature spots.
