1. Perhentian Islands
Once sparsely populated and mainly home to fishermen, the Perhentian Islands have become an important tourist destination in Malaysia-and while hotels and transportation are much better today than they were just a few decades ago, the islands are developing slowly, providing a very natural and still unspoiled beauty.
2. Kota Kinabalu
The capital of Sabah in the northern tip of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu is right on the water and surrounded by the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, itself home to five islands with stunning sandstone outcrops, virgin tropical forest, and white sandy beaches that gently slope into the sea.
