It’s a 15-minute drive to get to Chaweng, so all the restaurants and night life are easily accessible. Palm Beach operates its very own free shuttle bus to Chaweng, making a round trip a cinch. Meanwhile there are enough restaurants, shops, convenience stores and massage places within a few minutes’ walk from the resort itself. And Fisherman’s Village, with all its food options, is just a 15 minutes’ walk along the beach, or if you have a car, a couple of minutes’ drive. That said, lots of guests are content to stay much of the time at Palm Beach, as there’s everything you need right here.
Pantai Cenang – Langkawi’s main vein – may not be as rowdy as the Las Vegas strip but it is Malaysia’s most developed west-coast beach; its shores are a gorgeous mix of white sand, crystalline turquoise-blue waters and verdant palms.
Crammed with mostly budget to mid-range hotels, Pantai Cenang – located 25 km west of Kuah – is also home to more than a few high-end resorts. When the sun goes down a peculiar jumble of backpackers, expats, Asian tourists and families throng the main road to eat, drink and window shop.
