Langkawi

Langkawi is the main island in an archipelago of 99 islands (you might count a few more during low tide!) of the same name situated in the Andaman Sea 30 km off the coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is part of Malaysia’s northernmost state of Kedah, which borders southern Thailand

Langkawi and its neighbouring islands are blessed with kilometres of idyllic beaches, from secluded coves and crescents to long languorous stretches, from deserted white sand beaches only accessible by boat, to popular resort beaches popular with both visitors and locals.

Langkawi affords some of the most dramatic rock formations on Earth, the result of a half billion years of ferment and cataclysm, from tectonic uplifting to the more mundane, but over millennia, equally destructive natural forces such as erosion and weathering.

The many karst landscapes found here also feature numerous caves and hanging gardens. They comprise some of the oldest rock formations in South East Asia, and the only complete record of Malaysia’s Paleozoic history.

Langkawi is home to a fascinating wealth of fauna – furry, feathery, frolicsome, fearless, and just downright funny. The ubiquitous long-tailed macaque and dusky-leaf langur monkeys. Giant squirrels and 2.5 m long monitor lizard (cousin to the Komodo dragon). While the cute loris, civet cat and ‘armour-plated’ pangolin make more fleeting appearances.
