Recommendation
The social pulse of Langkawi. Cenang is a mile-long stretch of white sand filled with water sports, seafood shacks, and duty-free shops. Tengah, just around the headland, offers a more refined version of the same vibe with better boutique dining and a slightly slower pace.
The most beautiful beaches on the island, period. Located on the northern tip, Tanjung Rhu is where the sand is whiter, the water clearer, and the crowds non-existent. It’s quiet, pristine, and feels like the Langkawi from the postcards. At sunset, the sound of the call to prayer from nearby villages echoes across the karst-filled bay—it's a magical, specific detail you won't find on the west coast.
Ultra-exclusive territory. Tucked away in the northwestern corner, this area is defined by 10-million-year-old rainforest that spills directly onto a private crescent of sand. It's home to world-famous eco-luxury resorts and feels completely disconnected from the 'tourist' side of the island.
Unless you are here to catch a 7 AM ferry or buy five cases of duty-free gin, do not stay here. It’s a functional concrete town, not an island escape. While it's the hub for administrative life and the iconic Eagle Square, it lacks the 'barefoot luxury' soul that visitors come to Langkawi for.
