The majestic eagle in the town square.
Arguably, the most photographed              structure in the whole of Langkawi Island. 
This is something new . . . bet it'll be a thrill       walking over the canyon! And what a sight it'll be! 
Blue seas, blue skies, green hills and puffy clouds. Can't ask for anything more on an island escapade . . .

Here's a chance to get some sun, sea, sand and surf. Well, maybe not the surf!

Langkawi, officially known as Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah (Bahasa Malaysia: Langkawi Permata Kedah) is an archipelago of 99 islands (an extra 5 temporary islands are revealed at low tide) in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwesternMalaysia. The islands are a part of the state of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border. On July 15, 2008, Sultan Abdul Halim of Kedah had consented to the change of name to Langkawi Permata Kedah in conjunction with his Golden Jubilee Celebration. By far the largest of the islands is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi with a population of some 45,000, the only other inhabited island being nearby Pulau Tuba. Langkawi is also an an administrative district with the town of Kuah as the capital and largest town. Plus, Langkawi is a duty-free island! So cheap booze and cheap sea food!
 

Langkawi food is fantastic - Warm beaches, gentle breeze, clear waters and magnificent seafood. As an island surround by azure blue seas that hold a rich variety of marine life, it’s no wonder that Langkawi has a buffet spread of culinary delights from the sea. The popular eating destinations areKuah Town, Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Kok (the last three are beaches) but you can find eateries all over the island that will satisfy your palette. And just as Langkawi’s visitors are diverse in cultures, you’ll find the food on the island carry influences from around the world; there’s shrimp on the barbie to burgers and bratwurst to seafood platters. Plenty of upmarket hotels stock contemporary international cuisine and you’ll find the resorts to be excellent dining places for local food as well. But for that rustic feeling, it can’t get better than eating out among the natives at their regular hide-outs.

Langkawi’s beaches are simply some of Malaysia's best. From the sandy bays to the sweeping coastlines, the island’s beaches are renowned among locals, beach-bummers and revellers from across the world. Some of them are: Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Pantai Kok and Pantai Pasir Hitam.
