Penang Holidays

Culture and visual drama meet beautiful beaches and rainforest spilling into the Andaman Sea. Penang is an island you’ll fall in love with.

Holidays to Penang take you from historic sites and heritage houses to golden sands and luxury hotels. Capital city George Town bowls visitors over with its ‘step back in time’ charms: you’ll see pre-war buildings, Chinese clan jetties, Buddhist temples, British Palladian architecture and Indo-Islamic mosques. The street food scene is one of South East Asia’s best, with 24-hour hawker stalls dishing out everything from stir-fried rice cakes to the island’s famous asam laksa. Ride the Penang Hill funicular, explore rainforest with The Habitat’s in-house naturalists and get stellar sunset views from Komtar Observatory’s Rainbow Sky Walk.

For a heavenly dose of sand and sea, Batu Ferringhi beach is the place to be. Throw down a towel, pick up a kayak and end the night at a slow-mo beach bar. Penang National Park is also easily accessible from here, for jungle treks, panga boat rides and secluded beaches.

If you’re seeking an indulgent and culturally rich island escape, we’re ready to craft you a tailormade holiday to Penang.
