Langkawi is a collection of 104 islands in the Andaman Sea near the coast of northwestern Malaysia. Only two of the islands are inhabited, Pulau Langkawi and Pulau Tuba. In 2008 the name Langkawi was changed to Langkawi Permata Kedah to celebrate Sultan Abdul Halim of Kedah's Golden Jubilee. The islands are popular with tourists because of their white sandy beaches as well as the geoforest parks in the islands.
