Langkawi is an archipelago of 104 islands located between the Indian Ocean and the South China sea off the west coast of Malaysia. Langkawi is surrounded by crystal clear turquoise seas, sweeping sandy beaches with jungle-clad hills rising in the background. It is a truly stunning location for a Langkawi yacht charter holiday.

Langkawi is now an established sailing destination, attracting sailors from across the world for events such as the Langkawi Regatta. The island has four luxurious marinas and several bases which offer superb facilities for yachts around the island, yet within easy reach are villages along the waterside that will not have changed in hundreds of years.

There is such a diverse culture attached to Malaysian history that a varied and exciting cuisine has developed, giving you ample opportunity to try all of the food and flavours on offer.

Langkawi Geopark - has been awarded UNESCO Geopark status and is home to a vast array of exotic flora and fauna, colourful birds and butterflies, plus unusual reptiles and animals.

Paya Island - tropical forests and mangroves to explore and the opportunity to experience feeding baby sharks.

Pentai Cenang - A lively beach featuring water sports, restaurants and bars with live music.

Pantai Tengah - Beautiful peaceful sweeping white sandy beach.
