Away from the rigours of City life, a Langkawi holiday represents an experience of much slower but no less appealing pace than the capital. This is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea located approximately 30 kms off the northwest coast of mainland Malaysia. Pulau Langkawi is the largest island and one of only two inhabited islands. In recent years tourism here has flourished with an influx of elegant 5 star Langkawi hotels and great facilities on the main island including invigorating spas, diverse restaurants and far ranging shops and beach bars.
