Nightlife

Just like Langkawi itself, the nightlife here is laidback yet diverse, providing something for everyone after dark. Pumping nightclubs are few and far between, however, plenty of excellent venues are open late into the night. Many of Langkawi's restaurants and cafes transform seamlessly into pubs, bars, and lounges as the evening wears on, turning up the volume and switching on the neon signs, providing no shortage of late night options. Choose from cosy cocktail lounges, charming pubs with pool tables and dart boards, lively sports bars, live music venues, beach bars, karaoke bars, and venues hosting the best DJs. Look for themed nights, and the most tempting drinks deals to find your perfect spot. Whether you want to sit on a comfortable couch with nothing but your favourite drinks and good conversation, or dance to the tune of local DJs and musicians, Langkawi has it all.

Nightlife varies greatly between different areas of Langkawi. Pantai Cenang is known as the liveliest place to be after the sun goes down, closely followed by Pantai Tengah. Head to these areas if you want to keep the music playing and the drinks flowing until the small hours, with a choice of various venues. Many of the bars in these areas are located right on the sand, offering the perfect location for sunset cocktails, as well as late night dancing. In quieter areas such as Datai, the nightlife is generally contained within the resort bars and restaurants, offering a more tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
