A Bounty of Tropical Beaches
With a low crime rate, beautiful beaches and coral reefs, rainforests, year round sunshine, international events and an ethnically diverse country, you can experience the best of Asia in this one country.
For the discriminating traveler looking for tropical islands surrounded by clear blue water with dramatic landscapes, then Malaysia is the choice.
Langkawi is an archipelago comprising 104 islands in northwestern Malaysia where the Andaman Sea meets the Straits of Malacca, creating a tropical paradise. Only three are inhabited and Pulau Langkawi is the largest and most developed.
Dubbed the Isle of Legends, almost every site on Langkawi has a tale attached to it.
To further open up Pulau Langkawi as an international tourist destination, the Malaysian government has declared the island a free port since 1989. The island's sheer natural beauty with majestic marbled mountains, endless white sandy beaches and lush tropical rain forests make this one of Malaysia's most spectacular natural destinations.
