Is Langkawi Worth Visiting? Discover My Honest Travel Experience and Tips
Hi, I’m your @Xiaochengge
Malaysia is a treasure trove of islands🏝️, and Langkawi stands out as one of the earliest to gain popularity. My friends and I recently visited Langkawi on our way to Koh Lipe. If you’re planning a trip🧳, make sure to save this guide for some valuable insights.
🌊Playability
If you’ve explored other islands🏝️, Langkawi might not be a must-visit. The seawater is average, and the sand isn’t particularly fine. For seasoned island hoppers, it can be a bit underwhelming. However, if it’s your 1️⃣st time, Langkawi offers convenient transportation and well-developed facilities, making it a cost-effective choice.
📷Sightseeing Spots
🔸Paya Island
Known as the “Great Barrier Reef of the South Seas,” Paya Island boasts the clearest waters in Langkawi, perfect for snorkeling🤿. You might even catch a glimpse of baby sharks🦈, adding an exciting touch to your underwater adventure.
🔸Pantai Cenang
This is the prime spot for sunset🌅 viewing in Langkawi. Enjoy a romantic dinner by the beach while watching the sun dip below the horizon🌄. For thrill-seekers, paragliding🪂 is also available, offering a bird’s-eye view of the stunning coastline.
🔸Wet Rice Island
Langkawi is surrounded by numerous small islands, and a day of island hopping is a must. We chose Wet Rice Island, where the sand is a bit rough, but on a clear day, you can marvel at the jellyfish sea. The lack of crowds makes it a peaceful retreat.
🔸Sky Bridge
Perched between two mountain peaks, the Sky Bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of Langkawi. It’s a thrilling experience that combines nature and adventure.
🔸Kuah Town
This vibrant town in Langkawi is a delightful mix of colorful houses, exuding the perfect Southeast Asian island vacation vibe🏝️. It’s a great place to explore local culture and cuisine.
🔸TS DUTY FREE
Chocolate lovers, rejoice! TS DUTY FREE is a paradise for chocolate enthusiasts. You can find a wide variety of chocolates🍫 from around the world at incredibly low prices.
🔸Temple Tree Resort
This resort is a picturesque gem, offering both accommodation and dining. While the food is just okay [smirkR], the ambiance is perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Sip on a cup of coffee, enjoy some afternoon tea, and capture some Instagram-worthy moments.
✈️Transportation
🔸From Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, it’s a 1-hour flight; from Penang, it’s just 30 minutes; from Singapore, it takes about 1 hour; and from Langkawi to Koh Lipe by boat, it’s approximately 60 minutes.
🔸Langkawi lacks a public transportation system, so renting a car or using Uber is your best bet for getting around.
