About The Island

A Tropical Paradise Steeped in Legend

Langkawi, officially known as Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah, is an archipelago of 99 islands (plus 5 more at low tide) in the Andaman Sea, approximately 30 km off the coast of northwestern Malaysia. The main island, Pulau Langkawi, is a duty-free haven that has become one of Southeast Asia's most beloved travel destinations.

Blessed with a UNESCO Global Geopark status, Langkawi boasts some of the oldest rock formations on Earth — dating back over 550 million years. From the legendary tales of Mahsuri to the majestic eagles that soar above, every corner of this island tells a story.
