Lake of Pregnant Maiden



Located about 17km from Kuah town, this large freshwater lake carries yet another legend. The story is that once a barren maiden drank from the waters of this lake, and soon after was blessed with a child. Today, the lake attracts hopeful couples from all over the world, both for its mythical powers as well as the untouched beauty of this lake. The lake is about 17km from Kuah town and separated from the sea by a thin, limestone ridge. Some climbing is required to reach this spot.

Air Hangat Village



Popular for its hot springs, this village is being upgraded with a long-term masterplan that will eventually see it featuring a health spa and an elephant sanctuary. The village is well-known for its legend about its very own David and Goliath battle. An 18-metre-long handcarved, limestone mural depicts the earth-shattering battle between two giants - Mat Cincang and Mat Raya - after which two hills on the island are named.

Cave of Porcupine

Cave of Porcupine or Gua Landak is just a few minutes' drive from Kuah and is the most accessible cave on the island. You'll find that its fairly large chamber contains an exquisite variety of stalactites and stalagmites with fascinating formations.

Cave of Legends


The Gua Cerita is one of the many fascinating limestone caves situated in the north-east of Langkawi.
It comprises two limestone caves, one above the other and faces the sea.
There are a number of legends associated with the Gua Cerita. Here we provide one of which was related to Merong Maha Wangsa in the episode involving the Roman and the Chinese Emperors. The other is one concerns a strange creature called Gedembai.

Cave of Birds


Our very own batcave! About 30 minutes from Kuah town, this cave of bats is a rare opportunity to see bats in their natural habitat. A wooden jetty with a platform running through the cave allows visitors to view at leisure and up close this untouched batcave. Here too, visitors get a chance to see closeup the mangrove which is an integral identity of this island.
