Located
off the north west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi is
part of an archipelago of around 104 mostly uninhabited
islands where hidden coves and deserted beaches were once
the haunt of pirates. Beautifully unspoilt, Langkawi's
rugged beauty and local legends offer an irresistible
combination of cultural and natural attractions.
Langkawi isn't just one big island, but consists of a group
of around 100 islands. While most are uninhabited, a few
have been designed for tourism development so that visitors
from all over the world can admire and appreciate the
magical beauty of Langkawi. Many island tours are available
from reputable operators to explore these exotic getaways.
Langkawi has some of the warmest water in the world and some
of the most colorful coral teeming with tropical fish...from
tiny clown fish to much larger species. Take a snorkeling
trip to payer Island for a great day out or sail off on the
sea on a luxury yacht, cooling down with the gentle
breeze,marvelling at the sights and scenery on a relaxing
voyage to explore this beautiful, serene paradise.
Langkawi also hosts a number of international events
including the Tour de Langkawi,an annual cycling competition
starting in Langkawi and ending in Kuala Lumpur; The
Langsawi International Maritime and Aerospace Show (LIMA)
and the annual Royal Langkawi Regatta which draws boats from
