100% customisable for you
Make your way to the airport for your direct overnight flight to the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. The flight leaves in the late morning and takes roughly 13-hours which means you'll have a chance to catch up on the latest movies or perhaps do a little more background reading on your forthcoming Malaysia experience. If you're travelling with children, our specially designed Sharkey and George packs are a treat both for you and for them.
On arrival in Kuala Lumpur this morning, transfer onto your connecting flight to Sandakan in Malaysian Borneo, a journey time of around three hours. It's then just 30 minutes by private transfer to your lakeside lodge accommodation on the edge of the Sepilok Kabili Nature Reserve. Enjoy a tasty late lunch before relaxing in the tranquil surroundings.
Within easy walking distance is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, a wonderful place to see how young orphaned orangutans are taught the skills they need to survive in the wild. Go at feeding time (3pm) to see them at their most adorable.
Today you'll leave the wetlands behind and take the boat back to Sandakan in time for a domestic flight (just under three hours) to the Malaysian capital. You'll be met at the airport for a private transfer or around 50 minutes to your chosen city centre hotel.
After settling in you can decide how you'd like to spend the evening in this vibrant, modern city. We can make an advance dinner reservation for you at an upscale eatery serving Malay cuisine such as Bijan, or the award-winning French/Asian hotspot, Cilantro. If you're feeling adventurous you could simply join the locals and dive straight into the mouth-watering fusion of Malay, Chinese and India food at one of the street food markets.
Today, it's time to leave the metropolis behind as you head by private transfer to the blissful sanctuary of Tanjong Jara, around four-and-a-half hours away on Malaysia's east coast. Here, the aim is complete rejuvenation of body and soul, and we can think of no more beautiful setting in which to complete your transformation. Begin with a pre-booked spa treatment on arrival, the perfect way to revive your spirits after a long journey, then settle into your exquisite accommodation with its finely tuned blend of the contemporary and the traditional. Activities on offer include exercise sessions and a variety of activities and excursions; spa treatments and snorkelling and diving.
After a leisurely morning and lunch at the resort, your private one-hour road transfer will bring you to Kuala Terranganu in time for your flight to Kuala Lumpur, where you will connect onto an overnight flight back to London, hopefully arriving home well-rested from your travels.
