Langkawi, as an island, is full of hidden treasures that are sure to make for an epic holiday escape. Especially, this premium getaway is full of exciting opportunities, with stunning waterfalls, landscapes, and adventure-packed activities. We’ve compiled a list of 10 reasons to visit Langkawi. See the list below.

1. Food That Makes Your Mouth Water

Langkawi is no stranger to the unique and unforgettable dishes that Malaysia offers, thanks to its diverse selection of tempting restaurants and cuisines. Langkawi’s residents take great pride in their cooking, which includes fresh crab, lobster, squid, and barbecued fish and grilled marinated chicken. This island is a gastronome’s paradise, with influences from Indian and Chinese to Malay and Thai. Personally, this is my no.1 motivation as to my reasons to visit Langkawi. 😀

2. Its Beaches Are Among the Best in the World.

If you’re looking for a beach vacation, Langkawi is the place for you! There is no shortage of locations to immerse yourself in this tropical paradise surrounded by crystal velvet blue sea and white sands.

Pantai Cenang, a favourite spot for both locals and visitors, is home to some of the area’s most beautiful beaches. Tanjung Rhu’s private beach and Pantai Tengah’s quiet shores are only two of the many secluded locations on the island. You can’t go wrong with any of these breathtakingly lovely beaches if you’re searching for peace and quiet.

3. The Spectacular Landscape

Some of Malaysia’s most magnificent landscapes may be seen in Langkawi. The natural features include beautiful rainforests and a variety of mangroves covered in brightly coloured flowers. Furthermore, natural splendours like mountainous scenery and stunning waterfalls may be seen at Pulau Dayang Bunting, one of many locations in Langkawi. If you’re in Langkawi, don’t miss Langkawi’s GeoPark for its awe-inducing flora, fauna, and wildlife.

4. The Wildlife

Langkawi is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including 200 bird species and various monkeys. Over 150 different species of animals and birds from all over the world can be found in their famous wildlife park, including animals and birds from South East Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, Russia, and Malaysia. Among these animals are racket-tailed drongos, mudskippers, monitor lizards, Dusky Leaf Monkeys, and fish eagles. Regardless of where you are on the island, you will undoubtedly come across some of Malaysia’s most well-known wildlife.

5. A Wide Range of Activities

You will not be disappointed when it comes to finding things to do in Langkawi! There is a wide variety of activities available on the island. Whether you are looking for day trips, a sightseeing tour, or a relaxing spa, there is something for everyone! The Langkawi Cable Car is one of the island’s most well-known attractions. This exciting trip, located in Oriental Village, provides a chance to see Gunung Machinchang, which is also the location of the Langkawi Sky Bridge. Visitors will see mountain peaks, bay islets, and waterfalls as they travel up to a height of 708 metres.

6. Island hopping Available

Langkawi is part of Malaysia’s most popular chain of islands consisting of 104 islands in the Andaman Sea. As a result, the island is ideal for those looking to do some island hopping. With surrounding islands full of tropical rainforests and mesmerising clifftops, you will not want to miss this one-day trip.

There are numerous organised island-hopping tours available throughout the island. We recommend, however, visiting Tasik Dayang Bunting, which is home to Langkawi’s largest lake. Therefore you can unwind and take in the beauty of the islands while snorkelling around the Indian Ocean’s bays.

7. Watersports for High Adrenaline Junkies

If you, like us, are a bit of an adrenaline junkie, don’t worry! Langkawi is brimming with water sports activities and adrenaline-pumping adventures. While the island has the feel of a remote, exotic paradise, it also has popular tourist activities like jet skiing, banana boating, kayaking, canoeing, and parasailing.

Moreover, if exploring underwater paradise is your thing, there are numerous places to snorkel and dive. You will be able to see the spectacular Andaman coral and swim through the famous mystical caves while you are here.

8. Culturally Enriching

It’s difficult to escape the rich Malaysian culture woven into the island’s cultural landscape no matter where you go in Langkawi. Firstly, there are numerous opportunities to take a guided tour of the island. Whereby you can see traditional Malay houses and places of worship. In addition, they provide the opportunity to learn about the island’s native plants and herbs, as well as their medicinal properties.

Alternatively, many local restaurants host entertainment nights where you can sample the delights of Langkawi’s cuisine while watching some local dancers and entertainers. The 3D Museum of Art is also a popular destination for tourists and art enthusiasts. It enables you to capture a one-of-a-kind illusion of images that will almost certainly blow your mind.

9. Food hunting in the Evening Markets

The Langkawi Night Market is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the island’s most traditional practices. So, you can taste some of the most authentic and reasonably priced food on the island, including Malay sweets and street dishes, at this location. The atmosphere of these markets is unlike anything else on the island, with local music and drinks accompanying the burning smells and aromas of the market. Local vendors also use it as an opportunity to sell arts and crafts, textiles, and trinkets, which are ideal for souvenirs!

Our student from Brunei, who first met Team #EMGA during the Yes2Malaysia August Expo, has officially arrived and is ready to kickstart her Bachelor of Medical Imaging journey. 🩻🎓

Fadhliah shared how grateful she was for how fast, smooth, and reliable the entire process was, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her all set for classes next week — this time, fully ready and knowing exactly where each block is! 🗺️💪
