The name Kuah is a Malay word meaning ‘gravy’, referring to an ancient folklore of two battling giants who overturned a gigantic pot of curry at the spot where the town now stands. Once a rustic town with a few streets, present-day Kuah is a thriving centre of hotels and shoppingcum-business complexes, fortunately w ithout the din of modern-day cities.

EAGLE SQUARE or Dataran Lang is Langkawi’s most prominent landmark for visitors arriving via the sea. Situated near the Kuah Jetty, the main attraction of the square is the magnificent s tatue of the reddish brown eagle majestically poised for flight. According to local folklore, Langkawi derived its name from the eagle or helang. In old Malay, kawi denotes reddish brown, hence Langkawi means ‘reddish brown eagle’. The square is beautifully landscaped and features scenic ponds, bridges, covered terraces, restaurants and barrel vaults made of bricks. The square is b eautifully illuminated at night and presents a dramatic scene as you approach the island from the sea. 77 Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi Cenang Map To Seven Wells Waterfall Oriental Village Cable Car Padang Matsirat JALA Kok Beach I J A L A N PA N T A NK UA LA TE RIA N G The Danna Langkawi KOH Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort Burau Island Telaga Harbour Park Beras Terbakar NG JALAN MA TSI RA T J A L A N U LU M E L A K One Hotel Helang NG AT A N B AT UB E BA E TU B A NG K U P RT A JAL J A L A N K UAL A M U D A Rebak Island Resort Langkawi C H AN D E K U R J A L A N K E D AWA N G STRAITS OF MALACCA AN JAL JAL AN MA TA A LA H Kedawang Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa JA NB O HO Laman Padi RT E M P O YA K AL AN PA Casa Del Mar Langkawi J LA NT NT PA 8 * Map not drawn to scale Major Road Places of Interest Tourist Information Centre Epoi Island M JA LA N Fave Hotel Holiday Villa Langkawi Beach Resort & Spa ENG AH TA I T Airport Jetty Hotel B U K IT N JA LAN P A Tengah Beach LEGEND L AN UT Underwater World Langkawi JA I AL G A AN Cenang Beach TE EN NG CH AH AI Rebak Besar Island Resorts World Langkawi IR Kota Mahsuri JALA N SIMPA DA A MU J A L AN PA D AN G M AT S I R Langkawi International Airport U LU M E L AK A A KE NY UM AL N KU Four Points by Sheraton PAD A AN JAL JALA Langkawi Lagoon Resort Lalang Island TAMAN LEGENDA OR LEGENDS PARK is a s cenic park with beautiful g ardens of vivid local blooms, plants and fruit trees.
