Officially known as ‘Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah’, and for good reason, the 104 islands that make up the exquisite archipelago of Langkawi hide a treasure trove of delight.
Located in the south of the Andaman Sea on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, this island paradise offers an abundance of golden sand beaches lapped by crystal clear turquoise waters, which teem with an array of exotic marine life.
While the region’s world-class dive sites attract scuba divers and snorkelers keen to explore this underwater wonderland, the picturesque terraced paddy fields, jungle-clad hills, majestic waterfalls, and gorgeous mangroves provide ideal playgrounds for outdoor activities.
The real drawcard is undoubtedly the area’s spectacular untouched natural beauty. Langkawi’s simple tourism slogan seems to sum it up perfectly - ‘Naturally Langkawi’.
