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 […]
The Datai, Luxury in the Rainforest
One could easily get lost at The Datai Langkawi, with the maze of trails intertwined within her lush jungle premises, but a pondering soul could ‘find’ themselves as well. It’s difficult to think beyond the immediate when one’s mental workings are competing with the vast beauty of a rainforest and the many nuances of nature. […]

Tanjung Rhu Resort
Tanjung Rhu Beach happens to be my favorite Langkawi beach, as it is with many people.
