Langkawi Attractions

Kuah Town
Kuah, the heartbeat of Langkawi, is the first spot visitors will see upon arrival to the island. The name Kuah, which means gravy in Malay, comes from a legend of two battling giants who overturned a gigantic pot of curry. Situated at the south-eastern tip of Langkawi, it is also the gateway to neighbouring islands.

This once rustic and sleepy town, is now a thriving capital with a population around 12,000. Lacking the hustle and overcrowding of larger cities, it still boasts many attractions and facilities, including duty-free shops, handicraft centres, restaurants and fast food outlets.

Langkawi Coral
Located in the pristine waters of Pulau Payar lies one of the world's most spectacular coral gardens. A myriad of colourful, soft corals dominate the rocky underwater seascape. There are also artificial reefs, which will give divers an unforgettable underwater experience. Langkawi Coral is a highspeed catamaran with its own reef platform. Other facilities are an underwater observatory, glass-bottom boats, snorkelling equipment and diving facilities, allowing everybody a close encounter with the coral and prolific marine life.

Mahsuri's Mausoleum
A trip to Langkawi would not be complete without visiting Mahsuri's Mausoleum. Mahsuri was a fair maiden who was wrongly accused of adultery and hastily sentenced to death. Legend has it that no weapon could kill her until they used Mahsuri's own kris (traditional Malay dagger).

She bled white blood after the execution, which is said to signify her innocence. With her dying breath, she laid a curse that the island would not prosper for seven generations. The fine white marbled mausoleum was erected at the spot where she was entombed.

Pantai Cenang
One of the most popular beach destinations among tourists and locals alike, Pantai Cenang is known not only for its delightful sunsets but also for its long and sandy beach. Located about 18 kilometres from Kuah town and only three kilometres from the airport, it is fringed by coconut trees and casuarinas. The beach is home to a number of resorts, luxury class hotels, chalets and restaurants. While you are here, enjoy yourself with all kinds of water sports or go "island hopping" to the nearby islands such as Pulau Rebak Kecil and Pulau Rebak Besar.

Pulau Payar Marine Park
The marine park comprises four islands, namely Pulau Payar, Pulau Lembu, Pulau Segantang and Pulau Kaca. A ferry trip from Kuah takes around 45 minutes. The islands are surrounded by well-protected coral reefs that are home to numerous species of underwater creatures. Attracting divers from all over the world, the park offers a variety of diving conditions, from flat terrain to more challenging steep slopes.

Underwater World Langkawi
Set on 6.2 acres of land on the superbly landscaped beachfront of Pantai Cenang, Underwater World is one of the largest marine and freshwater aquaria in Asia. It features over 5,000 varieties of fish and other exhibits from 500 species displayed in over 100 tanks. Highlights include the gigantic hexagonal tank and walk-through tunnel tank containing six million litres of sea water. Here you can observe sharks, stingrays, huge turtles and other sea creatures swim by, separated from you only by the laminated clear glass walls of the tunnel.

Gunung Mat Cincang
One of the more prominent peaks on Langkawi, Gunung Mat Cincang, was believed to have been a giant, known as Mat Cincang, who was cursed and turned into a mountain. Fables aside, today the mountain rises in a spectacular skyline of crags that glow pink in the sunset and is part of the Mat Cincang Range which comprises of some of the oldest rock formations in Malaysia, dated about 2,400 million years old.

Gunung Raya
Rising to a height of 881 metres, Gunung Raya is the tallest natural feature on Langkawi. The mountain is believed to be the cursed form of a giant, known as Mat Raya, who once lived on the island. Untouched and covered with dense jungle, it has become the favourite destination for the adventurous. Trekking from a recreational site such as Lubuk Sembilang to the peak is simply magnificent but taking a guide along is advisable. A telecommunications station is accessible via a small road leading to the top.

Craft Cultural Complex
Nestled on a hillside overlooking the sea at Teluk Yu is the Craft Cultural Complex. It showcases the nation's rich craft cultural heritage. A wide collection of Malaysian handicrafts are exhibited, such as the hand-drawn batik, intricately carved silverware and the exquisitely crafted Langkawi crystal. The building is also home to the Islamic Museum, Royal Museum and Heritage Museum. There are also live demonstrations of traditional weaving methods such as songket (cloth with gold thread) and Mengkuang (pandanus leaves to create household items). Other facilities include the Museum Shoppe, Sales Gallery, Seasonal Exhibition Centre and the Theatrette.

Dataran Lang (Eagle Square)
The brainchild of Malaysia's Prime Minister, this prominent, 19-acre landmark is major attraction to visitors disembarking at Kuah Jetty. The centrepiece of the site is a huge and splendid statue of the reddish brown eagle after which Langkawi is named. According to local folklore "Kawi" in old Malay means reddish-brown eagle and "Lang" is the shortened term for helang (eagle). Hence Langkawi is known as the "Eagle State" The tranquillity and soft, cool sea breezes make this picturesque spot a great place for leisurely strolls or a romantic dinner in one of the nearby restaurants.
