［2025 原创］The Langkawi island is Malaysia's perfect holiday island. It has sandy beaches, old rainforests, and many types of hotels for different travellers.
To learn about the best places in Langkawi, we talked to three people who live there. They shared their favourite spots and activities on this amazing island.
Beautiful Nature
Many visitors enjoy relaxing on the beaches, but there's more to see! Temurun Waterfall is a hidden treasure. It's easier to reach than the famous Seven Wells Waterfall—just a short walk through the jungle. Near the waterfall, you can find a beach with clear blue water, perfect for swimming and seeing colourful fish.

The island offers many exciting things to do. Dream Forest is a new light show in the jungle that surprises everyone who sees it. The SkyCab cable car takes you high up the mountain to the SkyBridge, where you can enjoy amazing views of the whole island. Just check the weather first—cloudy days will block the view!
For water sports lovers, you can try something new at H2Ocean. It has water bicycles and special boats to explore hidden beaches along the coast.
Food and Culture
Don't miss visiting Kuah Town, the island's capital. You can find delicious Chinese food at traditional restaurants. The Royal Langkawi Yacht Club is a nice place to watch the sunset—everyone is welcome there!
