My girls and I always wanna have a girls’ trip! When we stumbled on the low-cost carrier airline’s SALES sometimes ago, we managed to secure our return air ticket to Langkawi at RM 79 only. We flew into the island for 3 days 2 nights chillax trip. To be exact, it was only a full 48 hours trip in Langkawi as we reached at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and flew out of the island 2 days later in the afternoon. We stayed in 2 different hotels for 2 nights, you may check out where we were staying at the end of this post.

And so if you have only 48 hours in Langkawi, here are some things you can do.

First thing first, rent a vehicle so that you can roam around freely with your girls on the island.

1. Have a sunset drink at Yellow Beach Café

Located at Pantai Cenang, just at the beach front with white sandy beach and facing the calming seaview; serves as a popular place for glasses of sunset drink. As per its name, do expect to see this place covered with yellow tone such as on the tables, menu, walls, decoratives, as well as the lazy bean bags.

Yellow Beach Café serves western delights such as steaks, pizzas, salad and sandwiches; and not to miss out their concoction of cocktails when you are here for the beautiful sunset.

4. Breakfast and dip in into the cooling pool

As our hotel was equipped with a pool with tropical surrounding, how not to dip in, at least our feet into the pool and some photos?!

5. Local eat in Restoran Siti Fatimah

A popular lunch spot for the local, this is a family-owned nasi campur restaurant which offers an array of delicious local Malay cooking dishes which is affordably priced. They offer a selection of meat, seafood and vegetables dishes on the “buffet” line; also a few types of spiced gravy and ass-kicking sambal belacan to go with your rice. Just pick what you wanna eat from the line and then go to the counter to make your payment.

6. Tai-tai tea session in The Danna, Langkawi

Girls’ trip must do – afternoon tea! We chose Straits & Co, hidden inside the colonial style The Danna Langkawi; is a cosy café charmed with the Peranakan decorative. Look at the floral motive tiles, the old school cupboards, classy marbled top tables and rattan chairs. Every corner is very instagrammable.

This kind of scorching hot weather is best to dip in again right?! There is another nice pool on the roof top of our second home for the trip! We had it all by ourselves.

11. Coffee moment in Smiling Buffalo

Need caffeine fix? Smiling Buffalo is where you can get the espresso based beverages alongside with simple breakfast fares or waffles and pancake as dessert. Set in a traditional wooden Malay house that has the tropical view as a backdrop, and decorated in a retro way, we couldn’t stop ourselves with more photos while sipping on the drinks and munching on the sweet delights. This is indeed a hidden gem, one of our best find in Langkawi.
