Explore the
islands Langkawi
We wanted to have a day sailing round the islands so as we were staying near the Royal Langkawi Yacht club we stopped to enquire about sailing trips from there. A company called Sunsail operate from there and you can hire a sailing boat to sail yourself or like us you can hire a sailing boat with a skipper. For 1200 RM we had the 35 foot sail boat to ourselves (4 of us) for the whole day, a skipper, lunch, soft drinks and beer. To make it a bit more special we took our own sparkling wine. We had a wonderful day lazing on the deck in the gloroius sunshine taking in the scenery. We saw some flying fish but the dolphins eluded us. ![]() Telaga Tujuh Located in the north-western corner of Pulau Langkawi, Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells) is a geological marvel. The waterfall is so named because its cascading water is broken by a series of seven natural pools. The lush green forest that surrounds the waterfall adds a mystical touch to the natural splendor. Legend has it that fairies used to come down to the waterfall to bathe and frolic. Tanjung Rhu
A short journey by boat from Tanjung Rhu brings you to the doorstep of Gua Cherita (Cave of Legends). As its name implies, the cave is steeped in a fabled tale of mystery and romance. On the walls of the cave can be seen ancient writing which has yet to be deciphered. ![]() Pantai Kok, Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Datai and Burau Bay Idyllic beaches such as Pantai Kok, Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Datai and Burau Bay offer carefree sun-filled days and quiet evening strolls. First-class accommodation in modern hotels or captivating chalets is available. A wide range of exciting water-sports provides fun and thrills for the energetic. Restaurant outlets in the hotels and outdoors serve a variety of appetizing cuisine. Tasik Dayang Bunting
Legend of Tasik Dayang Bunting - The favorite bathing pool of a celestial princess named Mambang Sari was said to be Tasik Dayang Bunting (lake of the pregnant maiden). A prince, Mat Teja, fell madly in love with her and tricked her into marrying him. It did not take her long to reciprocate his love and so could not bear to return to her celestial home. Sadly, their child died from a mysterious illness at the age of seven days. Distraught, the grieving Mambang Sari left the child's body in the lake and returned to her heavenly abode. Today, some believe barren women who bathe in this lake will be endowed with a child. Many have claimed to be successful.
Bayside Cellars - Pantai Kok - Bayside Cellars; Langkawi's only walk-in wine cellar features over 120 different wine labels from the world's leading wine regions including France, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and California. Coco Jam - Pantai Tengah - Located within the grounds of Langkawi Village Resort, this is the place to be if you want to dance the night away. It gets crowded, especially on weekends. Watch for the theme parties organised occasionally. There is live entertainment during peak season. The clientele includes locals and tourists, both young and old. Only beverages are served, but if you crave food, you can order it from the resort's restaurants. ![]() The Craft Cultural Complex is located on the northern coastline of Langkawi Island in the vicinity of Teluk Yu, about 30 minutes drive from the airport or 45 minutes from Kuah town. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the sea, this magnificent complex offers a wide range of Malaysian handicraft such as delicate hand painted batik and intricately carved silverware.

It is located just 20 minutes from the Langkawi International Airport and 15 minutes from the Ferry Terminal. Situated amidst a lush green forest at the foot of Gunung Raya, the highest peak on the island, the book village provides book lovers a tranquil setting to indulge in their hobby. The various houses in the village are stocked with a great variety of new books on numerous topics and languages as well as second-hand, rare and antiquarian books. ![]() A great place to start your sightseeing tour is to begin at Kuah town itself, where the tourist information centre is based (next to the town\'s mosque). Grab all the brochures and maps which you may need and you\'re ready to go. Within the vicinity of the jetty and the tourist information center is the harbourside\'s parklands which houses the Dataran Lang and Lagenda Park - the former a landscaped square with a concrete statue of the Langkawi eagle and the latter a 20-hectare park commemorating the island\'s legends in sculptural form. ![]() Going back to the main road will lead you to Pantai Cenang, the island\'s longest stretch of beach with the most happening nightlife. This beach houses the highest concentration of accommodation providers, ranging from budget chalets to five-star resorts, and is therefore the liveliest spot. Laman Padi, a \"rice museum\"
is also located at Pantai Cenang for those interested in all aspects of
rice farming. The Underwater World, a colossal aquarium with a fascinating
collection of freshwater and marine life is further down the same road.
![]() Beyond Pantai Kok is Burau Bay, the other contender for accolade of the island\'s most beautiful beach. Burau Bay is actually a delightful cove flanked by the mysterious peaks of Gunung Mat Cincang. Two resorts sit on both ends of this cove: the Burau Bay Resort and the Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort, both built to blend with the surrounding environment. |
