If I were to ask you where the best coffee in Langkawi is to be found, chances are you’ll answer somewhere on Pantai Cenang. It’s a good guestimate; the beachside strip has the highest concentration of cafes and restaurants on the island. But … you’d be wrong.

Bukit Tok Dun hike
Attracted by the early morning carpet of clouds and enigmatic sunrise views, this short climb through a rubber plantation makes a popular weekend training ground for nearby university students and local Perlis and Kedah hikers.
Gunung Keriang hike
Even at a paltry 218 metres asl Gunung Keriang’s ancient karst form is visible from the Melaka Strait. It entices adventurous day hikers to a short rocky climb with rice field views all the way to nearby Alor Setar.
Kayaking @ Sungai Kubang Badak, Langkawi
There’s more than one way to enjoy the scenery and salt waters of Langkawi. Drag yourself away from the inactivity of lying on the beach and go kayak.
Langkawi Weekender
Langkawi is where I go to escape. After working on scripts through the Christmas and New Year, I was looking forward to some “me” time. That didn’t happen. I was tossed some last minute deadlines and my Aunt Kay unexpectedly dropped in from Scotland. Plans had to be rearranged, but that didn’t mean Langkawi didn’t deliver.
Cats of Bon Ton @ Langkawi
If like me you have a cat (or a dog) and miss them when you’re on holiday, Bon Ton and Temple Tree resorts in Langkawi will feel just like home. Nearly every villa has its own resident cat.
Temple Tree @ Langkawi
Located just next door to Bon Ton Langkawi, Temple Tree is a collection of beautifully restored antique houses and colonial mansions from various Malaysian states. Although I didn’t stay there, I did have a wander around the grounds.
