If you’re wondering what is special about Langkawi, then imagine shimmering shores, dense jungle, busy night markets and incredible vantage points, all packed into one tropical getaway.
The beaches are among the best in the world
Some of the world’s most secluded beaches are found in Langkawi. Well away from the hustle and bustle is Tanjung Rhu Beach; made up of white, powdery sands on Langkawi’s northern shoreline that in turn, provides conducive conditions to work on that tan and go in for a dip. For the more adventurous, Cenang Beach will be the way forward, as activities in the calibre of jet skiing and parasailing can be enjoyed at a location found a short drive away from Langkawi International Airport.
Langkawi has magnificent views
It’s easy to feel on top of the world, given the location of Langkawi Sky Bridge. Covering 410 feet and found above the captivating setting of Mount Mat Cincang, this engineering marvel, accessible by the Langkawi Cable Car will place you in pole position to embrace some of the finest views in Langkawi.
Nature travel is a popular pastime
Be it mangrove tours, delving into limestone caves or catching a glimpse of wildlife, Langkawi is where you may uncover the wonders of the natural world. Particularly, the 100 sq km Kilim Geoforest Park can be called by, as this attraction is the only destination in Malaysia where you can witness how mangrove systems and coastal karst coexist. Located near Temple Tree Resort Langkawi, which is a decent Langkawi Airport hotel, Kilim Geoforest Park is where a geological heritage reigns supreme.
Authentic shopping happens at Pekan Kuah Night Market
Open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Pekan Kuah Night Market is where you need to be headed for if you have a longing for souvenirs and appetising food, such as for example, coconut pancakes and satay kebabs.
