Malaysia ranks high in numerous categories in 'best in Asia' list
Be it family-friendly attractions, scenic stays or wonderful dining options, Malaysia has a wide range of experiences that is sure to delight every type of traveller. This unsurprisingly results in Malaysia leading the Asia-focused categories of '2025 Global Rankings'. Named the best in a total of 19 categories, ranging from accommodations to nightlife, the country boasts several establishments that received multiple recognitions. The popular island of Langkawi in Kedah earns repeat mentions for its hotels and villas, as well as its Underwater World attraction. Langkawi was also named one of 'Asia's best coastal destinations'. The only other place in Malaysia crowned best coastal destination is Semporna, a scenic seaside town in Sabah's east coast. Meanwhile, the state's capital city Kota Kinabalu joins Semporna, Langkawi, Melaka and Kuala Lumpur in the 'best destinations' category. Understandably, KL, being the capital of Malaysia, draws many visits from local and foreign tourists alike. Many of its attractions and restaurants are highlighted in the rankings. Some of the categories that the city appears in are 'best family-friendly destinations' (the only Malaysian spot in this category), 'best nightlife (bars)', 'best gourmet hotels', and 'best things to do'. The latter includes PETRONAS Twin Towers, which was also recognised under 'Asia's best night attractions'. 'It's truly exciting to see Malaysian establishments being recognised across so many categories in this year's 2025 Global Rankings,' Stephane Thong, general manager of Malaysia, said in a press statement. 'From family-friendly hotels and scenic resorts to local culinary gems and iconic attractions, this recognition reflects the richness and diversity of our travel offerings. 'We hope this not only inspires Malaysians to rediscover local favourites but also encourages more international travellers to explore what Malaysia has to offer – especially as we gear up for Visit Malaysia 2026,' Thong added.

Another highlight is the 'Destinations For The Months' feature, which helps travellers plan the best seasonal itineraries, such as heading for Kyoto in winter or Seoul in spring.
