The beautiful beaches with soft white sands were praised in particular. According to the article, the beaches offer not only stunning natural beauty but also good quality cafés and restaurants. Especially one restaurant called Lighthouse (on Pantai Tengah) was recommended, both because of the tasty seafood they serve and the location which offers a most beautiful view at sunset.
There are varied beaches on Langkawi to suit different tastes. Tanjung Rhu is great for those who seek an idyllic, paradise type beach with very few people. Cenang on the other hand is a nice combination of a relaxed atmosphere and beach activities such as games and water jets. One thing that tourists should however bare in mind, is that there are jellyfish in the sea. The jellyfish sting can be treated with vinegar or urine, but another popular alternative is to swim in the pools.
The local beauty shops offer traditional milk baths, oriental massages, luxury facials and warm wraps. A new, rather interesting treatment is offered at some beauty shops: fish pedicure! The idea is that small Garra Rufa fish nibble away the dead skin from your feet. You will find this treatment at least in Anjung Spa.
Tourist attractions on Langkawi include a big aquarium, a crocodile farm and a boat trip to the mangrove forests. One attraction that was mentioned as particularly unforgettable was the ride on the gondola lift that takes you to the 700 metre high mountain MaChinchang. At the top you can unwind by the waterfalls after the fierce ride.
