Things to know before visiting Langkawi during Ramadan & Raya

Langkawi is known to be a lively island. However, in Langkawi, there are many Muslims around which means that during Ramadan and Raya holidays, the streets are fairly quiet and most places especially Malay restaurants are closed during the day, but fret not, as the non-Muslim restaurants such as the Chinese, Indian as well as Western restaurants and cafes will be open as usual. There will be no problem for anyone looking to dine in during the day. 

In the evening, Malay restaurants will be quite busy and packed with locals due to the breaking of fast which is usually between 7pm to 7.30pm. During Ramadan, hotels and resorts in Langkawi offer amazing deals and discounts, making it ideal for anyone travelling on a budget. Some also offer package deals such as room and buffet packages. So do keep a look out for those special deals! 

Apart from that, there will be bazaars also known as outdoor food markets or Ramadan markets that are open daily from 4pm onwards with plenty of freshly made Malay dishes as well as snacks at reasonable prices. These bazaars in Langkawi that can be found all over Langkawi are the perfect spots to get any Malay dishes or snacks you’re craving. 

If you’re not sure where to go, you can head over to Chenang as Chenang is still lively with lots of discounts and offers available during Ramadan.

For anyone interested in having Ramadan buffets with family and friends, there are hotels in Langkawi that offer Ramadan buffets on the island such as Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah, PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort, The Danna Langkawi, Adya Hotel Langkawi, Temple Tree Resort Langkawi, and more!
