Langkawi
A magical holiday island with a unique heritage and mesmerising natural beauty, Langkawi is Malaysia with a difference. Most head here for the pristine soft white sand beaches and the luxurious spa resorts, but end up exploring Langkawi's many other delights, from the vibrant coral reefs, perfect to dive and snorkel, to the wildlife-rich forest reserves of the interior.
Langkawi highlights
- Kuah town - the busiest place on the island and great for duty free shopping. 'Kuah' means gravy in Malay...a fanciful legend has it that the town stands on the exact spot where two giants spilt curry in the course of a fight!
- Mat Cincang Mountain, 700m high, offering fascinating trekking and amazing views.
- Sungay Kilim - a 100kmsq. nature park, brimming with life, not least rare birds such as hornbills, Brahminy kites and giant sea eagles.
- Langkawi cable car, for a bird's-eye view of the island and the hundred or so islets and sandbars that surround it.
- The spectacular waterfalls of Telaga Tujuh and Durian Perangin.
