Langkawi is one of Malaysia’s best-known beach destinations. Rising from the Andaman Sea, the “Jewel of Kedah” is one of 99 islands that make up of the archipelago. Enjoy the beach for parasailing and jet-skiing, and the lush mountains for hiking, ziplining, and cable car riding. A short flight from Singapore, the island is also appealing for its affordable prices, duty-free shopping, and seafood.
