LANGKAWI ISLAND

On the north-western shore of Peninsular Malaysia are clustered the islands of Langkawi. Situated just where the Indian Ocean narrows down into the Straits of Melaka, it was once a heaven for pirates. Today, instead, it serves as a retreat for visitors from near and far.

Nested against a dramatic backdrop of mountains are ancient lakes and forests, waterfalls and beaches, all of which enhance the wonder that is Langkawi. Blessed with a balmy climate that promises warm temperatures throughout the year, it beckons visitors that come seeking escape from the cares of the every day.

It comes as a surprise to many that Langkawi is actually an archipelago of 99 emerald islands, with the main island of Langkawi itself serving as the very heart. Breathtaking in beauty and abounding in legend, no wonder its allure is manifold. Steeped in the myths and legends of the many generations before us, Langkawi also boasts one of the finest coral reefs as well as myriad species of exotic floral and fauna. Whether you choose to lie on powder white beaches soaking up the sun beneath swaying palms or shop duty-free in town, there’s something to everyone. With as many reasons to visit Langkawi as there are islands, you’ll feel the mesmerizing pull of Langkawi yourself when you come, and keep wanting to return.There are several flights daily from KLIA to Langkawi, Penang to Langkawi and Singapore to Langkawi and vice-versa. You can take Malaysia Airlines Systems, Air Asia or Silk Air. The Island airport is an international status.
