Adya Hotel Langkawi
Built in a Moroccan style, this mid-range hotel is in a prime location in Kuah Town, Langkawi’s bustling main city. This hotel caters mainly to Muslim travellers, offering prayer rugs and a women-only swimming pool in addition to the main pool, along with halal food options.
The hotel has a business-like vibe, so I’d say it’s less suited to those fancying a week’s holiday on the island, and more suited to short trips where you need to be near the main city.
