Travel Guide to Pulau Langkawi Malaysia - Nightlife

Langkawi is probably not famous for its nightlife, there are no long party streets, or stretch of cozy cafés and bars, the tourist needs to search for the real nightlife. Langkawi is not a party destination pur-sang, however good night spots can be found.

Any evening in Langkawi start with the sun setting behind the horizontal glistering of its azure blue waters, when the night air starts to tremble and the orange of the sun disappears and changes the blue skies in a star sparkled sheet covering the island. A true sunset is best experienced at the beach, where the sand cools down the feet, and a glass of chilled wine or any other cooling drink enhances the spectacle.

Langkawi Sunset Dinner

Dining at sunset is an absolute once in a lifetime experience in Langkawi. And many hotels, resorts and restaurants will cater for the opportunity. Just before sunset is also the moment when all the locals will flood the beaches, as they hide for the blistering sun during the day. But a day without a sunset is a day not lived.

Once the darkness falls, the evening can start, and in and around the beach areas, like Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah people will find a place to sit and relax, have a drink and search for dinner, walking from restaurant to restaurant exploring their menus can be great fun, surrounded by vibrant sounds and delicious smells the traveler knows the evening has started.

Party Till Late At Night

For the more party animals the evening can start in some of the beach bars, which have all their own style, from reggae and blues to lounge music, and some even have live music by local musicians, mainly playing international requests. When lucky and the mood is right, the speakers move from inside to the outside of the bars, and groups of people can be found dancing at the beach, an awesome experiences, to dance the night away with the sea roaring in the background.

Disco and Dance Halls

Real large scale discotheques are not found in Langkawi, but some addresses we could recommend are Black Henry Pub and Disco and Chime at the Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort , Coco Jam Fun Pub & Disco at the Frangipani Langkawi Resort and Spa. Both locations offer live entertainment on a regular basis also depending on the season. Other great nightlife spots would be Dallas Karaoke, Burau Beat Pub, The Beergarden, Breeze Lounge, Little Lylia’s Chill Out Café, Yellow Cafe and The Bistro. Nightlife is enjoyed by tourists and locals alike, a great way to meet new friends, and hear great stories about Langkawi and venture for new ideas and sites to discover.

Music in many of the night spots is not towards one genre but more catered for a large and international crowd, the deejays and live bands will make guests listen to the latest hits or swing to popular music from the seventies and eighties. Whether the visitor enjoys R&B, pop, rock or disco the bars and discos will cater to the needs of all party-goers.

Langkawi, magic silent island in the Andaman sea, caters for peace and tranquility, but if swing is in the air anyone is welcome too.
