The gorgeous island of Paulau Langkawi, located north-west of Kuala Lumpur, boasts one of only two marinas in the whole of Malaysia that are capable of berthing superyachts (the other can be found on the secluded private island of Rebak).
But don’t let the lack of moorings put you off. Both of these marinas are within easy reach via a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur, and, what’s more, with the jewel-like islands of the South Asian Seas tantalizingly within your reach, there is no better excuse to explore these untouched natural wonders.
TELAGA HARBOUR
A stone’s throw away from the Langkawi airport, Telega Harbor is Malaysia’s answer to St Tropez. Built to encourage Langkawi as a major sailing destination, the harbor is capable of berthing 160 yachts and can cater for all travelers’ needs.
The Perdana Quay boats some high-end restaurants – where patrons relax at the quayside enjoying alfresco dining amidst luxury superyachts – surrounded by picturesque mountains.
