Kuah Langkawi

Pulau Langkawi
Province : Kedah State
Country : Malaysia

Langkawi Island is located just off the coast of North Western Malaysia, about 30 km from Kuala Perlis and 51 km from Kuala Kedah and close to Thailand. The archipelago of Langkawi contains 99 islands during high tide whereas during low tide, the number of islands can be as many as 104. Sanctuary of some of the most ancient rainforests in the world, they are teeming with exotic flora and fauna. Langkawi Island itself is the largest among the archipelago, measuring about 478.5 sq km, is the only one with any real settlement. It fringed by lovely beaches scattered along its coast. The island is still very much a rural landscape with villages and paddy fields.

By Road
Drive to Kuala Kedah or Kuala Perlis, the main take-off points by ferry to Langkawi. The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Kedah takes about six hours while Kuala Perlis is another hour away.

By Air
Malaysia Airlines and budget carrier AirAsia and Fire Flyz provide direct air services from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Langkawi.There are direct flights to Langkawi from London twice a week.

By Rail
Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) or Malayan Railway provides economical and comfortable rail services from Kuala Lumpur to Alor Star in Kedah and Arau in Perlis (north of Kedah). From these points, take a taxi or bus Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis for your ferry to Langkawi.

By Sea
Express ferries provide regular services daily to Langkawi from both Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis. The journey takes about 1 hour 15 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. From Penang to Langkawi the ferry takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. The island is also a stopover for Star Cruises, one of the largest luxury cruise lines in the world.

Kuah is the main town on Langkawi Island and is the entry point for those coming by ferry from either the mainland or Penang Island. The town is centered on its jetty, which brings in flocks of tourists each year who come to enjoy the tax free shopping and other attractions of Langkawi. Over the years, Kuah has developed to become a modern and vibrant town with many shopping and dining opportunities, helped by the astounding growth of visitors to Langkawi.

The name ‘Kuah’ comes from the Malay word for ketchup, and legend has it that the town arose from a cup of gravy spilled on the land by two giants fighting! Kuah has a wide range of hotels but no resorts, as the town has no proper beach despite being located by the sea. Also, the nightlife in Kuah consists mostly of eating out in seafood restaurants, though there are a few bars and pubs located in some of the hotels.

Still, Kuah boasts many facilities and attractions, making it a convenient and attractive place to stay despite the lack of beach and night spots. Today, Kuah is indeed booming as a commercial center with shopping complexes, restaurants, fast food outlets, hotels and handicraft shops sprouting all over the horizon.

Thanks for allowing me to pen down the experience of my short stay in Kuah, Langkawi early Feb. As known, Feb is the Lunar Chinese New Year and everyone is planning for a short getaway with the pals or families. So do I. Where else it?s hardly get any rooms even though we book in few months before CNY. Especially we are travel in a big group. Luckily we still manage to get a few rooms at Azio Hotel. Review showing this Azio Hotel was newly built and it?s near to the weekend "Pasar Malam" (night Flea market), duty free shops and etc. At first I don?t have much thought before I reached this Hotel (where I just take it as an ordinary place), as I encounter before most the hotel might promote using nice pictures, travellers might have very good comment towards the place. But I would love to give four out of five pop-corn (like watching movie :p) to this hotel cleanliness, helpful staff, environment, strategically located, environment and etc. This is truly a comfortable stay with affordable price (if you are not demanding the view of beaches but shopping), with the quite spacious bed room would says, the modern designed bath room orientation, (it would be better if there are to put up a full height mirror in the room), water dispenser machine is ready at one end of this hotel, importantly the sound insulation system of the room is quite good where we wont be awake by the traffic noise downstairs, Wi-Fi provided and some basic amenities are provided in the hotel too. Would love to says this is a worth staying hotel with affordable price to everyone in the Kuah Town. As we are travelling in the big group (age from 3-50), most of my transportation and tour activities are arrangement by QQ Travel. As my booking was only few days prior departure, it's was really a great thanks to Ricky from QQ Travel for helping out the ferry arrangement, ticketing, transport, sunset cruise and etc. There offered a wide range of touring services from land to sea and etc, kindly check out their website for more touring info?s. I would say the service is good where he really call and follow up with you how the trip and places going on to make sure things are on the right track. This is what I like and feel warm. There wasn't many places we visited, but it is definitely a worth visiting place with the families. A 2D2N trips, we just went to the Cable Car
