Located in the Andaman Sea, this beautiful, tropical paradise is an archipelago of 104 islands. Langkawi hotels are perhaps the most famous resorts and exotic accommodations in Malaysia and visitors come from across the globe to enjoy the pristine sand, sapphire waters and irrefutable tropical island luxury that is found across the islands. They range from those which offer beachfront resort luxury to smaller, more intimate and rustic tropical privacy, to the ever welcoming and always luxurious lodgings which are to be found in Kuah, the archipelago's main town and center of business.
Pantai Cenang, situated on the southwest tip, is perhaps the most renowned stretch of tropical wonder. It boasts a two-kilometre stretch of platinum white sand which leads into the miraculous waters of the Andaman. It's here that you'll find some of the most revered Langkawi hotels. Expect a profusion of coconut palm flora to greet you from the balcony or verandah of your room or suite. One of the pleasing elements about any trip to a resort on Pantai Cenang or, for that matter, anywhere on the archipelago, is the feeling of Malaysian suffused taste and sumptuousness. Other earth bound tropical paradises rarely offer such a rich infusion of Asian design and cuisine. This is where to discover Malaysian, Chinese and Japanese food in a marvelous tropical setting. This sensory experience, one enriched by Asian elements, is to be found in the design of the rooms and just about every part of the resorts.
The best establishments offer both privacy and areas of conviviality. Enjoy a suite which seems removed from civilization, then head to the karaoke bar in the evening for a festive time with soon-to-be-good friends. Sip curious and delightful cocktails and watch the sun set over the sea while a master chef flame grills your preferred cut of fresh fish.
Naturally, such place are attractive to romantics of every ilk. Those planning a wedding or enjoying a honeymoon, will find that all good resorts cater to their needs. From beautiful, lush honeymoon suites and private dining options for those romantic meals, to an endless supply of cocktails brought to the rooms, this is where to feel pampered. And no romantic couple will have to be separated, even when it comes to the alluring treatments, therapies and sublime environments of the spas. Couples rooms and private pools are generally available and few of life's romantic pleasures can compare to a couples treatment by those trained in ancient techniques.
Leisure guests will also have excellent sporting facilities, from swimming pools, often more than one, and tennis courts, themselves surrounded by tropical flora, to the chance to venture offshore for a touch of marine magic.
The main resorts are experienced and comprehensively setup to cope with gatherings large and small. Corporate guests will always find superb conferencing and banqueting services and facilities. Companies come from all over Asia and the West to treat their delegates and staff to a seminar or event that happens over a few days, with an idea to mixing local pleasure with the corporate agenda.
On the eastern part of the island, visitors will find the exciting and exotic town of Kuah. Both business and leisure guests looking to be away from the resorts often choose one of the Kuah hotels instead of the beachfront variety. Here too, you'll find great food and a wealth of pleasing services, not to forget the more neon-tinted distractions. One of the great things about staying in the city is that even if you don't have all the in-house culinary options of the resorts, you'll be better positioned to discover the local restaurants and, if you like, the bars.
