4 weeks to visit Malaysia and Indonesia in the summer

We’d like to visit Malaysia and Indonesia for 4 weeks with our 12- and 14-year-old kids at the end of July and beginning of August in 2025. We’re just starting to plan and would love your help. We’re thinking of spending 2 weeks in Malaysia and 2 weeks in Indonesia. We’ve already been to Bali, so a quick stop there is possible. We enjoy mixing cultural visits, nature outings, and relaxing beach time. We hope you can give us some tips. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi there, In Malaysia, you could spend 2-3 days in Kuala Lumpur, 2-3 days in Malacca, and 5-6 days on Langkawi.

In Indonesia, you could either spend 15 days on Lombok or 15 days on Java. For Java, you’d still need to focus your stay on the western part of the island to make the most of it, but spend a few days in Yogyakarta for the beach and Borobudur temple, then head west to Bromo volcano, Ijen volcano, and others.
