Malaysia is the honeymoon you might not have considered — and that's exactly its charm.
The most romantic places in Malaysia
Langkawi
The classic choice — duty-free island calm, long beaches and the spectacular cable-car views. A sunset dinner cruise and a private mangrove tour make it properly romantic. It's the heart of our Langkawi & KL package.
The Perhentian Islands
For barefoot, castaway romance on the east coast — turquoise water, simple beach huts and some of the best snorkelling in Malaysia. Go between April and October.
Kuala Lumpur
Start or end with city glamour — rooftop bars under the Petronas Towers, world-class dining and five-star hotels at surprisingly reasonable prices.
When to go
For the west coast and Langkawi, November to March is prime. For the east coast Perhentians, April to October. Read our best time to visit guide for the full picture.
What it costs
A two-week honeymoon with a city stay and a week of island resort runs roughly £1,700–£2,300 per person including flights. Malaysia is superb value — your money stretches noticeably further than in Thailand or Singapore. Our Langkawi & KL package starts at £1,725pp.
Five touches that make it special
- A private sunset dinner cruise around the Langkawi archipelago.
- The cable car at golden hour — island views for miles.
- A rooftop dinner under the Petronas Towers.
- A couples' spa day (Malaysia's spas are outstanding).
- A private mangrove tour with eagles overhead.
Quick questions, answered
Malaysia or Thailand for a honeymoon?
Thailand for the famous beaches and polished resorts; Malaysia for better value and fewer crowds, with the same island calm. See our Malaysia vs Thailand guide.
Is Malaysia good value?
Exceptional — you'll get a beachfront resort and fine dining for noticeably less than most of the region.
