“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.” ~ Liza Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

The 5-star Tanjung Rhu Resort, located at the northernmost tip of Langkawi Island, is spread over 1,100 acres of sprawling rainforest, healthy mangroves, rolling limestone, and a breathtaking private 2.5 km beach that may well be unmatched anywhere else in the islands. This beautiful long coastline of white sand was included in the National Geographic’s list of the World’s Ten Most Beautiful Beaches.

This is how the sun breathtakingly sets in this part of the world, and I was just soaking it all in.

Langkawi is a not so hidden paradise which comprises of 99 islands surrounded by pristine waters and lush rainforest.  The mysterious islands are steeped in fascinating legends and folklores.  It has been cited as a UNESCO Geopark (geological park) in recognition of its amazing and significant geological formations and untouched paradise.  The park covers mountainous peaks, sandstone formations, limestone caves, mystical lakes, waterfalls as well as fascinating flora and fauna dwelling in its environmental wonder. Recently, National Geographic has listed it as one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world.
