Malaysia Welcomes Back Travelers to Legendary Langkawi

Malaysia is allowing international visitors once again with its new Langkawi Travel Bubble.

The main island of Malaysia's northwestern archipelago couldn't be a better place to have a travel bubble. Langkawi has been luring visitors with intriguing heritage and fascinating legends for years and is now open to individuals who are fully vaccinated and who test negative for COVID-19.

Visitors need to follow specific protocols to enter, which include booking with a Malaysia tour operator, periodic testing during the first seven days and traveling through specific ports of entry. Once the seven days in Langkawi have passed, visitors can travel elsewhere in Malaysia. https://www.malaysia.travel/explore/363-langkawi-travel-bubble-international

While in Langkawi, however, paradise awaits. It is easy to see why the island is a favorite destination for travelers to Southeast Asia. It is easy to visit year-round with stable temperatures and excellent weather--and only two seasons: wet and dry. The island is ideal for beach-lovers, thrill-seekers and experiential travelers alike.

While one of the major draws of Langkawi is its beaches and five-star hotels, there are a number of sights that guests should not miss when visiting.

The Langkawi Sky Bridge a 125 meter-long curved pedestrian bridge that offers visitors spectacular views of the beautiful Gunung Mat Cincang, Telaja Tujuh waterfalls. Visitors access the Sky Bridge via the Langkawi Cable Car ride (another must for visitors).

Eagle Square is another top attraction. Dataran Lang (Eagle Square) is home to a 2 meter-tall sculpture of an eagle ready to take flight. It also houses miniature fountains, terraces and bridges and is close to the sea.
