Malaysia is home for incredible beaches, wildlife, rain-forests, and busy cities. 

Some of the regions of this country are extremely good for snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, getting deep into the multicultural environment and, of course, having a luxurious vacation.

If you have dreamed of the mixture of glamorous weekends and wild camping, here’s what you need to do in Malaysia.

1. Trip To Tioman Island

Despite the fact that the Tioman Island beaches are ancient and most pristine, you will find all the modern comforts you need for the best rest.

 The peculiarity of this place is the possibility of spending nights in chalets in the trees.

As soon as you get down on earth, the locals offer you everything from cold beer to a DVD player. 

These beaches are very good to scuba dive, explore the island on the boat, or take a guided tour to the jungle.

3. Time Travel With Pahang

On the Peninsula, take a look at the map to find Pahang for your next glamorous camping destination.

You will have everything from mountains and rainforests to stunning beaches.

Many travelers choose to stay in local resorts, but camping with all the necessary facilities is a true getting closer to nature.

You can have something that traditional resorts do not always offer like flavorous barbeque at night at the door of your sleeping capsule.

The hanging bridges, tea plantations, highlands, marine parks, and natural lakes are just a small part of what makes Pahang so attractive.

Another right option for you would be going directly to the Johor Bahru area.

This is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Johor.

Kota Tinngi waterfall is 42 kilometers away but if you are not afraid of long roads, you should go there.

6. Glamping Off The Beaten Track In Kuala Lumpur

Would you like a private shed secluded in the forests of Kuala Lumpur?

There’s one absolutely stunning idea for you.

Go to the Sekeping Serendah for immersing in the natural wonders of Malaysia.

You can also choose to stay in an open shed in the retreat if you do not feel comfortable among the tree shades.

One special thing about this place is you do not usually have access to Wi-Fi so you can come here to meditate or at least have rest from your devices.

The sheds are constructed of glass, wood, stones and other natural materials to get you as close to nature as possible.

A bamboo forest is maybe the best idea if you are longing to give your body a stretch after long days at the computer.

As you are looking at bamboo trees, you will want to grow tall and thin or at least imagine that.

The territory of the Tadom Hill Resorts camping is near the lakes, forests, and hills.

They have all kinds of accommodation from stylish hammocks and tents to luxurious chalets.

8. Sabah Turtles Parade

The highest peak in Malaysia is Mount Kinabalu.

It is over 4,000 meters tall.

Head to Sabah if you want to witness this mountain and have it on your vacation photos.

When you visit one of the beaches in the region, you will undoubtedly have the chance to swim and see coral reefs or walk through the rainforest.

One of the main attractions, in case you stay in the Walai Penyu Resort, is the turtle sanctuary where the tour guides tell all the facts about sea turtles.

You can even see them laying eggs if you are lucky enough.

You won’t forget Malaysia.
