Things to do on a Penang Luxury Holiday
Some of Penang’s best beaches and luxury resorts can be found on the island’s north coast. Choose from lively resorts with water sports and plenty of restaurants, or more secluded options offering romantic isolation.
In the capital city, George Town, you can explore temples, colonial buildings and grand mosques. Visit the Botanical Gardens and marvel at Kek Lok Si, Malaysia’s largest Buddhist temple. Visit historic Fort Cornwallis and stroll through the colourful streets of Chinatown and Little India. We recommend taking a tasting tour of the island’s renowned food stalls – with so much varied and delicious food on offer, you won’t be disappointed.
Penang National Park makes a great day trip from the beach resorts on the north coast; although small, it’s lush rainforest home to an impressive variety of wildlife and diverse flora.
