Labuan Island trip planner

Striking a balance between financial hub and tourist attraction, Labuan Island offers much of the appeal of Penang without the hordes of tourists. The island of 100,000 inhabitants has a rich history dating back to the days of the Bruneian Empire, although British colonialism from 1848 and Japanese occupation between 1941 and 1945 also had a strong influence. Today, several museums commemorate the ups and downs of Labuan Island's diverse history. Its renowned, modern shopping malls offer plenty of retail therapy, while the beautiful stretch of beach extends a warm invitation to relax. Adventure-seekers on holiday on Labuan Island can check out the great shipwreck diving off the island's coast. Take stress off the schedule by using our Malaysia travel route planner.
