Dayang
Bunting , Pregnant Maiden Island
Pulau Dayang Bunting where
you can swim in the famous Pregnant Maiden Lake. Lies in an
island south of Langkawi, it is the largest lake. The
outline of hills and rocky outcrops on one side of the lake
resembles the shape of a pregnant maiden lying on her back.
However, the name of both the island and the lake is
attributed to the legend of a lovely fairy princess who
married an earthly prince and got pregnant after drank the
water from the lake.Located 17.6km from Kuah, this island is
the second largest island within the archipelago. Its name
'The Island of the Pregnant Maiden" is inspired by the
legends which surround the lake (known as Lake Guillemard)
or by the physical appearance of the island itself which
resembles the belly of a pregnant woman. The legend that the
lake bestows fertility, although not scientifically proven,
only enhances the mystery that surrounds the island
Beras
Basah, Wet Rice Island
Crystal clear waters
and pure white sandy beaches, this is an ideal place to
get way from it all.

of the Big Lion" although physically there's no
