Air Hangat Village
The Air Hangat Village (right) is built on four acres of land about 14 kilometers northwest of Kuah. This modern complex includes a 3-tier hot spring fountain, an 18 metre-long handcarved riverstone mural depicting the legends that enshroud this location and souvenir shops.

As the legend goes, two feuding families fought to keep their romantically involved son and daughter apart. On that fateful night, the two families hurled not just insults but jugs of gravy and hot water at each other. Suddenly, lighting bolts pierced the skies and the moment was forever frozen as the heads of both families were transformed into two peaks.

Today, the spot upon which the gravy landed is called Kuah (or gravy). And where the hot water splashed, hot springs emerged, the exact spot upon which this place was built.

Right: warm water from the hot springs bubbles up to this fountain-like structure at the Air Hangat Village.

Visitors can witness the making of local handicrafts and cultural performance or even indulge in an invigorating traditional foot massage.

Tanjung Rhu Beach
Tanjung Rhu lies the northern cape of Pulau Langkawi. Aptly named for its abundance of casuarinas, its enchanting beach affords magnificent views of nearby islands which can be reached at low tide on foot. An experience not to be missed.

Gua Cherita
A short journey by boat from Tanjung Rhu brings you to the doorstep of Gua Cherita (Cave of Legends). As its name implies, the cave is steeped in fabled tales of mystery and romance. On the walls of the cave can be seen ancient writing which has yet to be deciphered.
