Some friends and I decided to go to Pulau Langkawi for a weekend. And there we found the true paradises. It’s definitely one of the nicest island in Malaysia. You can do a lot of activities there, like jet ski, atv-trips or jungle-trekking. I highly recommend to rent a scooter (30Rm/Day) and drive around the island. Then you can find all the lonely beaches and secret spots and even some very beautiful waterfalls.

How much is it:

Langkawi is a dutyfree island, so food and beer are very cheap there. Make sure you book a few weeks ahead and the hotels should be affordable as well.

How to get there:

By Bus:

Form Singapore, Johor and Kuala Lumpur, there are buses running daily to Alor Setar/Kuala Kedah. Please contact local bus operators for more information. Another option is by rail, KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) starts its journey from Singapore with interchange in Kuala Lumpur and then all the way down to Alor Star Train Station and Arau. From Alor Setar Train Station to Kuala Kedah Jetty Terminal with taxi (RM18.00). From Arau to Kuala Perlis Ferry Terminal with taxi (RM12.00).

By flight:

From Kuala Lumpur

Fire Flyz have only 1 flight daily

Malaysia Airline 5 flight Daily

Air Asia Provide 7 flight Daily

Make sure you book a few weeks ahead. Flights are much cheaper than last minute.
