Langkawi Honeymoon
Langkawi Island is fringed with idyllic white-sand beaches, swaying palm trees and crystal clear waters that teem with colourful marine life. Renowned as one of Asia’s most beautiful tropical islands, Langkawi is the perfect getaway for a romantic honeymoon.
Things to do and see
Away from the pristine beaches and the island’s glittering shopping malls with their duty-free bargains, discover traditional Malay island life in the small villages that lie scattered between picturesque rice paddy fields and lush jungle-clad mountains.
Experience Langkawi’s natural beauty by hire car, motorcycle and bicycle or follow scenic forest trails on foot to explore picturesque waterfalls and landscapes of lakes and mountain peaks.
Once a haven for pirates and now a sought-after retreat for honeymoon couples and holiday makers, Pulau Langkawi is the largest (475km²) of 99 tropical islands that lie in the Andaman Sea around 30km off the north-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
