Don't give up on your dream right away! Not Bali or the Maldives, but a no less picturesque country is ready to surprise you with a variety of recreation and decent prices. To know what resorts to choose for a budget tropical trip, read on.

Penang

Located off the northwest coast of the Peninsular Malaysia. It is dominated by a humid tropical climate. The annual average temperature ranges from +29°C to +30°C.

The most popular beach is Batu Ferringhi. It is located 10 kilometers from the capital, George Town. The coast is characterized by clear water. Still, there is a significant number of jellyfish.

For a sandy bottom and jungle, head to Monkey Beach. The center is located in the Penang National Park.

We recommend climbing the mountain of the same name. There is an observation deck with a funicular at an altitude of 821 meters above sea level. Also, go to the Snake Temple. It was built in 1850, and is home to poisonous reptiles. And if you feed the turtles in the Kek Lok Si complex, you will get extra years of life, at least according to the locals.

A superior double room will cost about $181 for 5 days.

Langkawi

Located in the Andaman Sea near the western coast of the Peninsular Malaysia. The center is characterized by an equatorial climate. The annual average air temperature ranges from +28°C to +30°C.

Pantai Cenang is an ideal place for a beach vacation. The coast is famous for its clean sand and calm water. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented here, and there are shops, cafes and duty-free nearby. Travelers can go jet skiing or parasailing.

If you are looking for solitude, head to Pantai Tengah.

We recommend visiting the Langkawi Wildlife Park. It is home to more than 150 species of birds. And for jungle, go to the Mangrove Nature Park.

Near the Telaga Terminal pier, you will find Oriental Village, a theme park with attractions, shops and restaurants. From here, you can take the Langkawi Cable Car to the mountain peaks with panoramic views and see the famous SkyBridge Bridge.

A family bungalow will cost about $274. A standard double room will cost about $233.

Tioman

Located off the east coast of the Peninsular Malaysia. The resort has a tropical climate. The annual average air temperature ranges from +28°C to +30°C.

Tioman has the status of a nature reserve. The island is one of the ten cleanest and most beautiful places on the planet. Here you can find many perfect beaches where white sand is washed by crystal clear waters. The center is famous for its calm atmosphere - no noisy parties and a stormy nightlife.

Tourists can go diving, snorkeling and swimming with whale sharks.

The dry season lasts from May to September, when the largest flow of travelers is observed. From November to March, the weather is rainy. This period is characterized by high waves, favorable for surfing. However, keep in mind that some hotels close during this time.

For example, in April, a double room with a side sea view will cost about $316 for 5 nights. Prices for chalets range from about $128 and higher.

Sipadan

Located off the east coast of Sabah province. The area is characterized by an equatorial climate. The annual average temperature ranges from 30°C to 32°C.

The location is famous for its ideal diving conditions. During the dive, you can see various species of sharks, octopuses, groupers and barracuda, as well as many turtles.

Keep in mind that there are no apartments or hotels here. You can find accommodation in Tawau. A deluxe room will cost approximately $221. However, there are much lower prices. For example, a standard room for 5 nights will cost about $86 for two people.
