After a few days in Singapore, my blogger pal Emily (Emily Luxton Travels) and I jetted over to Langkawi in Malaysia. Our intentions? To have three days of doing very little – sunbathing on the best beaches in Langkawi, drinking cocktails and eating some delicious Malaysian cuisine.
However, let’s just say the weather had other ideas! It was warm, but rather overcast and not your classic ‘sunbathing’ weather. Rather than wait for the sun to appear, we planned some adventures, booked a few activities and enjoyed a trip to one of Langkawi’s many spas!
So if you’re looking for the top Langkawi attractions and activities, scroll down to find out my suggestions for a few days on the island. I’m sure you’ll have fun, whatever the weather! Oh and don’t forget to stock up at one of Langkawi’s duty free stores before you leave.
Despite overcast skies, we really enjoyed getting out to explore some of the nearby islands. The first island you visit is Pulau Dayang Bunting (Pregnant Maiden Lake) where there’s a beautiful green lake hidden inside the island. It’s absolutely magical and definitely one of my favourite places to visit in Langkawi. You can swim there, take lots of pics and hang out with the island’s monkeys too.
