Langkawi is a Malaysian archipelago in the Andaman Sea, off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and one of the country's most popular island destinations. The archipelago is renowned for its white-sand beaches, lush tropical rainforests, and dramatic limestone karst formations. Highlights include the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park with its mangrove forests, the spectacular Langkawi Sky Bridge reached by cable car, as well as scenic viewpoints, waterfalls, and secluded bays.
