Langkawi is Malaysia's most tropical island destination — an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, where UNESCO Global Geopark status protects ancient rainforests, waterfall valleys, and mangrove forests. The cable car has the world's steepest gondola pitch, climbing to the summit of Machinchang. Duty-free status makes Langkawi a shopping paradise too.
