4. Weekend getaway in Langkawi
If you’re looking for peace and serenity, why don’t plan out for a short weekend getaway trip with your pals?

The view you’ll be witnessing truly calms the mind and heart, letting you realise the importance of living.
Psst! If your friends are daredevils, the Sky Bridge offers a section where it’s clear below you. It allows you and your friends to look below into the rainforest, we wouldn’t recommend it if you have a fear of heights, from personal experience. The Langkawi Sky Bridge offers a place to create lifetime memories with your friends with the beautiful scenery that comes along with it.
