Flights to Langkawi

Lying off the coast of northwestern Malaysia is Langkawi, a duty-free paradise comprising an archipelago of 99 enchanting islands. With the largest town of Kuah serving as the gateway, unrivalled natural beauty unfolds across forest-clad mountains, verdant hills, and Pantai Cenang, the hit beach and tourist haunt. Its name, shrouded in mystery, is said to mean 'island of the reddish-brown eagle' in the local dialect, hinting at the rich Malay heritage influenced by Austronesian cultures. As you'll discover, Langkawi's history, culture, and natural allure make it a holiday destination that ticks all the boxes, attracting over three million tourists each year.

From British ruling since 1909 to gaining independence with Malaya in 1957 and being recognised as a World Geopark by UNESCO in 2007, Langkawi has fascinating history to mine. Add to this a tropical monsoon climate that gives you a dry season ideal for travel between December to February.
