Langkawi is a small archipelago off the coast of Malaysia, and its close proximity to the equator means the people here enjoy year-round hot temperatures. January is one of the warmest, driest months for the islands, so the chances of getting caught in a tropical monsoon are slim during this month.
The most popular pastime for holidaymakers in Langkawi during January is relaxing on the tropical white sands on the coastline. The region’s crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkelling, and there’s a wide variety of watersports for visitors to enjoy. If you’re looking to spend the whole day on the beach, head over to Pantai Cenang, where you’ll find those tropical sands as well as a selection of bars and restaurants with live music.
If you’re looking for a unique way to view the islands’ breathtaking natural scenery, take a ride in the famous Langkawi cable car. Here you’ll be able to see the surrounding greenery and wildlife from high up in the air, which is a truly unforgettable experience.
