Spectacular views of Andaman Sea
Three years ago, I had cruised from Penang to Langkawi. It was a three-hour cruise that brought me to a fascinating tourist destination of Langkawi located on Andaman Sea in Malaysia. We landed at the jetty close to Kuah Town in the south-east of Langkawi. Popularly known as Pulao Langkawi, the beach resort is sparsely populated and is dotted with swaying palm trees, verdant greenery of rain forests, fresh sea breeze and long coastline that are the distinguishing features of the island resort. Moreover, Langkawi is an emerging honeymoon destination.

Langkawi has a number of luxury haunts and we were at Langkawi Laguna Resort, the five-star haunt. The first thing that meets the eye while landing at Langkawi jetty is the Eagle Square from where the island derives its name. It comprises a 12-metre high sculpture of an eagle in reddish brown colour looking into the sea. One can get good views of the Eagle Square overlooking the sea with the mountains and ferries serving the backdrop. It takes around 45 minutes to move from one corner to the other in the main island and the best option to tour the destination is to hire a cab. One can opt for a ferry ride to cruise other islands in and around Langkawi.

Langkawi is a shopping destination for budget tourists and we missed no chance to take a peek at Cenang Mall in the heart of the main island.
