Here's our 4D3N itinerary that you can use for your own trips, to help you see the best of what Langkawi has to offer:

Day 1: A warm Langkawi welcome

ACCOMMODATION: Wings by Croske Resort Langkawi
Conveniently located right next door to Langkawi International Airport, it's a great place to stay for the duration of the trip. The rooms are spacious, with a view of vast, open fields and hills.

It has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, and shared lounge offering ample space to unwind.

FOOD: Paloh Restaurant & Bar
This picturesque restaurant is located inside Temple Tree Resort, which is very close to Langkawi International Airport. It serves as a perfect way to start your trip, especially if you're hungry after your flight. It offers both local and international dishes, with the staff being polite and friendly.

After eating, you can spend some time inside the property that houses a zen-like garden, a sacred tree with a temple, and several cats. According to Irene Vairo, the resort manager, the sacred tree is over a century old. The unique aspect of the tree is that its two trees — banyan and palm — are interwoven with each other.
