Langkawi Island is one of South East Asia's best kept secrets. Located at the confluence of the Straits of Malacca and the Andaman Sea off Malaysia's northwest coast near the maritime border with Thailand, Langkawi comprises 99 islands mostly covered in untouched rainforest. Its beaches are some of the region's best and only three of the islands have been developed.
While few buildings rise above the height of the beachside coconut trees, excellent infrastructure including an international airport, cruise liner berth and various well-managed tourist attractions are in place.
On Langkawi it's possible to relax and do absolutely nothing. However, for those who love nature and adventure, Langkawi offers sailing, watersports, jungle treks, diving, mangrove excursions, bird watching, fishing, mountain climbing, thrilling journeys into the rainforest canopy and visits to local villages and farms.
