Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, with an internationally served airport and 100s of resorts.
Whilst there is a thriving tourist market here, by boat it is easy to sail away from the crowds to find tranquil and deserted tropical paradises.
Other than beautiful beaches, Langkawi also has a lot to offer on land: With a rich mountainous rainforest, waterfalls and lagoons, trekking can be quite wonderful.
Furthermore it is a duty-free port and offers great shopping opportunities.
