Honeymoon packages in Langkawi

Of all Malaysia’s honeymoon locations, Langkawi rates as the one nearest Paradise. One of an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, honeymoon packages in Langkawi are perfect for nature lovers. Every tropical butterfly in the world seems to have flown here, while the year-round tropical climate, lush mountainous rainforest landscape, and beautiful beaches make it a haven for couples planning their weddings abroad.  We at The Co-operative Travel recommend the island of Langkawi to anyone looking for a romantic tropical getaway.

Langkawi is the ideal honeymoon destination for couples wanting an active beach holiday. The resorts offer outstanding luxury and value, with a host of activities once you’ve recovered from the rigours of the wedding. The offshore reefs offer untold opportunities for snorkelling and diving, or you can simply island hop to the uninhabited islands. Rife with legends of pirates and lovelorn dusky maidens, the only other signs of life will be the footprints of a recent beach wedding party and often, not even that.

When to plan your Langkawi honeymoon

With a year-round tropical climate, and temperatures that range from 23°C to 34°C, there’s no “wrong” time to book a honeymoon package on Langkawi. However, the island has a monsoon season from April to October, so it’s best to have your honeymoon outside these months. The beach resorts are at their best between November and April.

However, it’s worth enduring a few rainy days for the festivals and sports spectacles that take place during the wet season – not least the Langkawi Water Festival. Various sailing events also take advantage of the monsoon winds. The island has a sensational international sailing centre, where you can book tuition and learn the ropes yourself.

Things to do outside your hotel

Once you’ve recovered from the wedding, it’s worth exploring the island – however much you enjoy the beach, there’s a lot more to see than silvery sands and ice-cold drinks from the swim-up bar.

Apart from island-hopping trips, you can take bird and butterfly-watching hikes into the interior, or explore the history and culture of the island, from bloodthirsty pirates to pregnant mermaids. Take a dizzying cable car ride to the top of Mount Mat Cincang, and you look down on caverns, thermal springs, cultural sites and nature reserves – all waiting to be explored.   

When you book your honeymoon package on Langkawi, you’re staying on south-east Asia’s first and only UNESCO World Heritage Site. We at The Co-operative Travel have honeymoon packages here that you’ll remember for ever.
