Lawas

Like many of the smaller towns and villages in Eastern Malaysia’s Sarawak region, Lawas is most commonly visited by tourists, world travelers, and other types of visitors as a stopping point between larger cities. Prior to the 1990s, Lawas (along with neighboring Limbang) was considered a go-to place for “sinful” venues like dive bar-style pubs and rundown massage parlors. However, it is currently a local go-to destination for high quality shopping centers, agricultural projects, and tourist-quality accommodations following a major redevelopment project.Although Lawas is more or less not as well connected as some similar locations via Sarawak’s major road network, it is still easily accessible by both road and water transport. A major point of interest in Lawas for tourists and other travelers is Tamu Lawas, the city’s local produce market where a variety of local fare and street food can be experienced and enjoyed. Lawas is also home to some of the area’s most beautiful beaches, as well as several resorts and a variety of interesting local and natural landmarks such as Mount Murud.
