Langkawi and Penang

The west coast offers a perfect example of Malaysia’s multiculturalism including intriguing delights with the islands of Penang and Langkawi.

In the far north, just before reaching Thailand, lies Langkawi with its palm-fringed beaches and renowned accommodation, from the luxurious Datai to the more laid back Bon Ton – the perfect spot to relax. Alternatively, you could retreat to the privately owned island of Pangkor Laut and stay in a stilted, overwater villa amidst the islands 300 acres.

A little bit more about Langkawi and Penang

The beautiful island of Langkawi, located in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia, is a lush green island fringed with white sand beaches and the diverse setting offers the perfect getaway for nature lovers, marine and sea sports enthusiasts, as well as those purely seeking splendid solitude. Penang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a glistening amalgam of the old and the new with a bustling port, ancient streets, temples and wonderful cuisine offer an insight into Malay culture and history.

My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
