Romantic Sunset Dinner Cruising the Andaman Sea

Romantic Sunset Dinner Cruising the Andaman Sea
Langkawi, Malaysia
With its calm waters, natural beauty and superb weather conditions, the Langkawi archipelago presents an impossibly romantic setting for a sunset cruise. Late this afternoon, set sail from the jetty with your beloved, on board a shared luxury yacht. This is prime time and position to catch the sun sinking into the Andaman Sea, casting a mango-hued glow on the water’s reflection and across the skies overhead. Following the sun’s dying rays, the inky black sky reveals a ceiling of twinkling stars. Once this amazing extravaganza of nature concludes, feast on a scrumptious barbecue buffet out on deck, accompanied by free-flow alcoholic beverages. You may be lucky and spot frolicking Spinner Dolphins and White-bellied Sea Eagles accompanying the yacht. This sunset cruise indulges with an open bar, where fine liquors and cocktails are served. For the ultimate on-board relaxation, immerse yourself in one of the several sea nets suspended in the water, or the deluxe salt water Jacuzzi. Together, raise your glass to the moon glowing above, a fitting way to conclude another idyllic day in Langkawi.

Known as “Legendary Island”, Langkawi is enshrouded with folk lore and myths. The best known is the spell of Mahsuri, a maiden innocently executed for adultery. With her dying breath, she cursed the island with seven generations of bad luck, perhaps accounting for Langkawi’s only recent success. Visit Mahsuri’s Mausoleum to understand more about her pitiful tale. Despite its name, Black Sand Beach is actually a striking blend of black and white sands, also interwoven with ancient folk lore. An old wooden jetty and fleet of brightly-painted fishing boats provide stunning photographic opportunities. Our tour concludes at Eagle Square and its 12m (39ft)-tall sculpture of a brown eagle, heading-up Kuah Bay. Langkawi’s name is derived from two Malay words, “Helang” (eagle) and “Kawi” (reddish brown), symbolising the island’s abundance of eagles besides, “standing strong”.
