Langkawi’s Best Waterfront Watering Holes

December 24, 2018 by Vanessa Workman 6 Comments

When it comes to Langkawi waterfront restaurants and bars, the island has plenty. But when it comes to places to have a bite to eat and a beverage of your particular ‘choice’, then the selections can vary greatly. From limited beverages choices to inconsistent hours of operation or indifferent customer service and uncomfortable local cliques. […]

Santai Cafe, Langkawi

May 28, 2014 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Santai Cafe is one of Langkawi’s newest arrivals to the restaurant scene and already showing the markings of greatness and staying power. Serving Malaysian cuisine and select western dishes, in addition to having an extensive beverage selection, Santai Cafe has something for everyone and at surprisingly affordable prices.

Mangoes Bar and Grill

February 18, 2014 by Guest Writer: Thomas C. Gerrard Leave a Comment

Tucked away in the small village of Kuala Teriang, in a converted kampung house, Mangoes Bar and Grill has become a Langkawi institution over the years.

Cba, Langkawi’s Seaside Gem

August 27, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

The widest and most pristine part of Pantai Cenang is at the north end of the beach in front of the Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa. Most people generally keep to the southern end of the beach and maybe that’s because the resort seems to be exclusive and ‘off limits’. But if you wander […]

Red Sky Restaurant & Bar

April 22, 2013 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Considering Red Sky Restaurant & Bar ended up located next to a restaurant with a similar name, they’ve carved out their own Pantai Cenang niche becoming one of the favored landing spots for locals and tourists alike. Sometimes overlooked within their foliage laden enclave, the shady street-side restaurant and bar creates a perfect little tropical […]
