Langkawi Island

Stunning Langkawi Island is located off the west coast of Malaysia slightly above the border.

Crystal waters, exotic mangroves and the beautiful Pulau Payar Marine Park will all be the impressive background.  When visiting Langkawi Island Malaysia activities offer seemingly endless things to do.

The west coast is the most developed offering a host of amenities including a large variety of dining establishments. This is where most of the nightlife is found as well.
