Johor, situated at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, is one of the most developed provinces of Malaysia and yet you are still easily able to get away from the city sights and sounds to escape to beach and bush. The best of both worlds is at your fingertips! You can be in the thick of metropolitan life in Johor Bahru and then later travel a short distance to experience the fresh air and lushness of the forests at Endau-Rompin Park. Or hike up Mount Ophir for beautiful nature trails and waterfalls. 

If you’re after a traditional village flavour, then journey out to the village of Desaru. Or taste some of Malaysia’s finest seafood at the tiny fishing villages of Pontian and Kukup. You will be in no doubt that the fish is fresh! These tiny villages are so full of charm, with their houses and restaurants built on stilts over the water’s edge. 

It is from Johor that travellers can access the remote stunning islands of the South China Sea, including the famous Pulau Tioman, for the ultimate getaway.
