Langkawi
- The Island of Legends
|
|
|
|
|
The legendary Isle of Langkawi is located in
Kedah, north-west of Peninsular Malaysia.
Comprising a group of 104 islands, the biggest
being Langkawi, it is a place for those seeking
tranquillity and refuge from the hustle and
bustle of city life. So powerful is its charm on
visitors that many have returned to the island
time and again. |

The outstanding natural landscape of Langkawi
Islands proclaims a true tropical paradise of the
purest white sands, clear tropical waters,
magical island sunsets, and peaceful sun-filled
days. |

What makes Langkawi so alluring
is the many legends of a beautiful maiden falsely
accused and condemned. The legend of valiant
warriors. The legend of true love between two
spiritual beings. And many others handed down
from generation to generation. Attractions:

intrepid diver, this marine park, encompassing
