Destination Guide

The culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous traditions, with English commonly used in hospitality workplaces. Island life can be relaxed and scenic, with beaches, diving, local markets and outdoor activities, although housing, transport and healthcare may be more limited than in major cities. Living costs vary considerably by location.
