Lovely Langkawi
THIS FARAWAY ISLAND destination in Malaysia is a great way to be off the radar as you enjoy your post-wedded bliss. Let the tropical shores soothe your senses, as you check into your private over-water villa, one of the few destinations apart from the Maldives, where you can enjoy this experience. There are plenty of luxury hotels to choose from as well as budgetfriendly options. Spend your days exploring traditional villages, trekking and forest trails, go island or beach-hopping the coastline is fringed with picturesque beaches and turquoise waters, take a helicopter tour for a bird’s-eye view of the gorgeous landscape and indulge in candlelit dinners by the beach or in the middle of a lush rainforest. The island has also been awarded a Unesco Global Geopark status, so conservation is a top priority, with geoforest parks and biogeo trails. If you’re looking for a blissful island getaway, Langkawi checks several boxes. tourism.gov.my
