Chasing the Sunset: The Best Sunset Spots in Langkawi

Where to watch the sky turn golden in paradise

There’s something special about sunsets in Langkawi. As the day winds down, the whole sky glows with shades of orange, pink, and gold—perfect for that peaceful, picture-perfect moment. Whether you’re strolling along the beach or enjoying a drink with a view, Langkawi has plenty of beautiful places to catch the sunset.

Here are some of our favorite spots:

Pantai Cenang

This is Langkawi’s most popular beach, and the sunset views here don’t disappoint. The beach gets a warm golden glow in the evening, and there’s always a nice buzz of people around. If you want to enjoy the sunset with a drink in hand and your feet in the sand, Kalut Bar is the place to be—plus, there’s often a fire show to end the day with a little sparkle.

Pantai Tengah

Pantai Tengah is right next to Pantai Cenang, but it’s a bit quieter. In the evenings, you can often catch a fire show at Hidden beach bar—perfect for enjoying the sunset with a little extra magic.

Tanjung Rhu Beach

Tanjung Rhu is perfect if you want something more peaceful. It’s up in the north of the island and not very busy. You can watch the sunset in silence, with only the sound of the waves and the sight of little islands in the distance.

The Horizon at The Ritz-Carlton

Looking for something a bit more elegant? Head to The Horizon, the bar and restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton. With an open view over the ocean, it’s one of the best places to sip a cocktail while watching the sun go down. It's romantic, relaxing, and totally unforgettable.

Sunset Cruise

If you're up for a little adventure, join a sunset cruise. Watching the sun dip below the horizon from a boat out at sea is a peaceful and magical experience. Bring your camera—it’s stunning.

Watch the Sunset from Your Private Villa

Sometimes, the best sunset spot is your own villa. At WOW Holiday Homes, several of our villas have amazing views where you can relax and enjoy the sunset in total privacy.
