It’s tax time again so we know what that means - receipt hunting, number crunching, book balancing, yawn! Tell the accountant to stick this in his calculator: You + Exclusive Hotel Deals = Well-deserved holiday in heavenly, sunny Malaysia. From free breakfasts to free nights to orangutan sized discounts, these specials are guaranteed to put a smile on any bean counter’s dial.  

What’s going on in Malaysia?

Go back to your tribal roots with some thumping great rhythms and heart pounding themes at the World Drums Festival in Kuala Lumpur during July and August. Music-mad Kuala Lumpur also has the 5-day Indie Youth Festival in July, featuring the world’s digital culture via music and arts. Pick up a comic, vege out with a video game and check out the latest Generation Next brainwaves. Plus a load of mainstream events if you hear yourself moaning about how much better the music was “back in my day”.

Off the coast you’ll find the stunning island escape of Langkawi. Between strenuous sun worshipping sessions on the sugar white sands, you can take in a Langkawi Eagle-Feeding and Mangrove tour. Learn all about macaques, tree crabs and eagles, and even discover how a fish farm works. Nearby is the island of Pulau Dayang Bunting (‘Isle of the Pregnant Maiden’), where the lake water is said to grant barren women fertility – and men are said to be nervous.

There’s nothing boring on Borneo where the island city of Kota Kinabalu has over 30 different ethnic groups. If you want to go wildman in Borneo, visit Tuaran Crocodile farm and its 1000 ravenous residents, do some trekking and even climb Mount Kinabalu. Back in town there’s the man-made mountain Tun Mustapha — 122 metres of steel, glass and revolving restaurant magic. Then meander around the Gaya Street Sunday Market, a living museum overflowing with animals, food, clothes and handicrafts. Finish up with a romantic stroll along Tanjung Aru beach, famous for its stunning sunset.
