Langkawi NightLife

Langkawi’s best places for after-hours drinks are located around Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Kok.

Cenang’s stretch is popular for its restaurants that morph into nightclubs with cocktail bars and Pantai Tengah’s strip has pubs with deejays spinning music and live performances from local acts. Meanwhile, Pantai Kok’s after-dark scene is centered on the Telaga Harbour Park – a boardwalk opposite the marina.
