The mestizo essence

Custom travel to Malaysia

Whether it’s Borneo’s leafy jungles, home to orangutan families, or Kuala Lumpur’s latest monster skyscrapers, or white-sand beaches at the nation’s “lost” island, Langkawi, it’s the perfect scenario for acting out your own King and I that recreates the former Kingdom of Siam, the Malay culture capital at Ipoh or the harbor at Penang.

 A famed Malay proverb rues, “a dead elephant leaves behind his tusks; the tiger her hide; humankind only leaves names.”

NUBA EXPERIENCES

Malay eating

The Malay culture-mix makes its cuisines one of the richest and most varied on the planet. Local food is known as nyonya or nonya, a term Chinese immigrants used to describe the dishes their Malay wives prepared

Recommended travel time: All year long

The best time to visit Malaysia could be all year round. The east coast is great from April to September, as is the west coast from January to July; and we love Borneo from March to July.

Seasonal Experiences

Take a nighttime bike ride through Kuala Lumpur to soak up its after-dark charms.
