Pantai Cenang is Langkawi’s liveliest beach. With white sandy beaches and coconut trees that sway in the breeze, Pantai Cenang is ideal for those who want to have a getaway for a relaxing holiday.

Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells)

Literally Telaga Tujuh means “Seven Wells”. Telaga Tujuh is actually a series of crystal clear waterfalls running 100 metres down through seven rejuvenating natural pools.

Trekking up to the falls is indeed a challenge as the paths are slippery. Visitors attempting this feat are advised to be cautious, as at certain parts of the falls, there is sudden drop of over 91 metres.

Gua Kelawar (Bat Cave)

One of several cave attractions in Langkawi island, this 60 metre-long cave derived its name from its most notorious inhabitants, the fruit bats.

The cave is located along one of the Kilim River tributaries.
