When to visit
Langkawi is an inviting destination throughout the year, but if you're seeking sun-soaked beach days for your family holiday, the best time to visit is from November to March. During these dry months, you’ll enjoy an abundance of sunshine, ideal for indulging in outdoor adventures and beachside relaxation with the kids.
Bear in mind that the dry season attracts heightened tourist demand, which may lead to increased hotel and activity pricing, so it’s wise to pre-book your family trip. Langkawi's wet season runs from April to October, with the heaviest rainfall occurring in September and October. Still, this season sees a lower number of holidaymakers and offers an ideal opportunity for that quiet family getaway. Whenever you choose to visit, Langkawi offers plenty of family-friendly events and festivals all year round, including the LIFA and Langkawi International Water Festival in April, as well as the Langkawi Craft Festival in December.
