The Best of Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Phuket

Kuala Lumpur

Start in Malaysia’s capital with three nights at Shangri La Kuala Lumpur, well located for getting around the city. A guided half day tour introduces you to key sights including the Batu Caves, while included tickets to the Petronas Twin Towers make it easy to visit one of Kuala Lumpur’s most recognisable sights. Outside of planned activities, there is time to explore neighbourhoods, try the local food and street markets.

Penang

Fly on to Penang for seven nights at Shangri La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa. This part of the trip slows the pace, with time split between the beach, gardens and the surrounding area. Staying in the Rasa Wing gives a quieter feel, while the island itself offers easy days out if you wish to explore further, from George Town’s heritage streets to local markets and food spots.

Phuket

Finish the journey in Phuket with seven nights at Banyan Tree Phuket, staying in a Banyan Pool Villa. Having your own pool gives you complete privacy and space to slow the pace properly after travelling, whether that means quiet mornings, lazy afternoons or evening swims. Beyond the villa, Phuket offers plenty of choice, from nearby beaches and local restaurants to short trips if you feel like getting out and exploring, making it a memorable and rewarding way to end the trip.
