Langkawi, or also known as the Jewel of Kedah is an archipelago of 104 islands in the Andaman Sea. On 1 June 2007, Langkawi was given a World Geopark status by UNESCO. Dry season from December till February and September is the wettest month, so doplan accordingly when traveling.
Located in the tropical paradise of the Andaman Sea, Resorts World Langkawi has a very picturesque surrounding. The resort is just a 25 minutes drive from the airport, though slightly away from the beach side town, Cenang Town. The resort offers free shuttle service in to Cenang Town. It’s only about a 10 minute drive away and they drop you off right at the Cenang Mall or any where that is near the activity of your choice.
They have been meticulously upgrading their suites, rooms and facilities. Guests will now be able to choose the category of rooms that best suits their needs and their budgets. But I would strongly recommend their Sea view and when booking do ask for their new rooms.
At Resorts World Langkawi there are a total of three eateries, Seagull coffeehouse where you will have your breakfast, Zest for an outdoor BBQ buffet and lastly casual drinks at the Lobby Lounge. If your having your breakfast near the sea, throw some bread crumbs in the water for alittle surprise.
- Sunset Cruise
Resorts World Langkawi also offers a Cruise ride for you to party as you watch the sunset. This cruise sets off at 5pm sharp daily to the open ocean for you to enjoy the beautiful Jewel of Kedah. Seat back and enjoy the warm sea breeze and soothing sounds of the waves lapping against the boat. On the boat there will be a professionally trained life guard as well as a photographer to help capture those picture perfect moments. On ship there are a few activities for you to try out while waiting for the sun to set.
Fancy a dip into the ocean?
What about soaking yourself in the Salt Water Jacuzzi?
After all those relaxing in the waters and jumping into the sea sure makes you hungry. So the cruise itself offers you a gourmet barbeque feast prepared freshly, BBQ seafood, chicken, satay and even various Asian and western styles cuisines.
As it gets dark feel free to choose from the wide selection of beer, wine, liquor, cocktails and fruit juices, or sipping on a Pina Colada while dancing to the music as the ship takes a slow ride back to port.
- Mangrove River Tour
Kilim Geoforest Park, home to a mangrove forest covering over 100 sq. km, this park is made out of beautiful blue lagoons, mangrove forests and white Langkawi beaches.
There are a few major highlights in this tour and one of them is feeding the wild fishes. The common name of these black and yellow stripped fishes is “Sergeant Major”. Even though their nibbles don’t hurt still becareful when feeding them.
One of the two pit stops in this tour will be at the fish farms. There is a place for you to buy some drinks and activates like fish feeding and a short tour on the various life that lives in the river.
Now the gem of the tour is none other then eagle watching. The boat will stop at a special place for you to watch these eagles as they dive down to catch their prey. Sapping a photo of these mighty birds will be tricky as they are fast.
The last stop of the tour will be lunch at a floating restaurant, where you will get to savor a scrumptious meal made for you by the locales.
If you plan to visit Langkawi, make sure to go on a mangrove tour! At only RM108 you will get a experience like none other.
- Night Market
Langkawi has a fabulous Night Market every night of the week at various locations around the island. From Resorts World Langkawi just tell the reception at the lobby that you going to Cenang Town night market and they will arrange a free transport there for you. You will be able to find not only many duty free shops around but also delicious local food and many things for you to buy. There are massage parlors at almost every turn and hidden gems if you walk further to find them. All these are available to you with 10 minutes or less ride from Resorts World Langkawi.
- Catching the Sunrise
One of the things you must defiantly do before leaving is catching the sunrise. Be sure to wake up at 645am to watch the yellow Jewel rise from the horizon painting the skyline from blue to a radiant white. Take a moment to lose yourself in the silent beauty as the islands come to life.
