Mention Langkawi and a few things come to mind: relaxing holiday resorts, lush tropical rainforests, beautiful beaches, and eagles.
The eagles are actually one of the first things I notice as I walk along the private beach at The St. Regis Langkawi. They soar in the distance, their outstretched wings catching the light breeze to glide gracefully above the Andaman Sea. It is a magnificent sight, made even more so with the surrounding mountains and forests, a luxury resort behind me, and oceanfront restaurant Kayuputi in the near distance.
