Langkawi Craft Complex (Kompleks Kraf Langkawi) is a window into the Malaysian island’s arts and crafts scene. That said, it’s a regular feature of sightseeing tours of the island. These typically combine a stop here with the Langkawi Sky Bridge and Langkawi Cable Car (Langkawi Skycab) for panoramic ocean and rainforest views, and Eagle Square, where a giant eagle statue pays homage to the resident birds.
Langkawi Craft Complex is free to enter.
Plenty of pieces are for sale—both cash and credit cards are accepted.
The complex is accessible to both wheelchairs and strollers.
From the center of Langkawi, Langkawi Craft Complex (Kompleks Kraf Langkawi) is a 15-minute drive via the Jalan Ulu Melaka and Route 112 roads. No public transport services the center, so you’re best off taking a taxi or visiting as part of a tour that includes transport.
Langkawi Craft Complex is generally open from Monday through Friday from mid-morning until early evening. Public holidays such as Lunar New Year and Malaysian Independence Day might affect these hours. The best time to visit Langkawi is during the dry season between November and April.
If you want to combine your coastal scenery with some culture, Langkawi is the perfect place. It’s home to family-friendly, fun-packed spaces such as the Arts in Paradise Museum, which tricks your perception, and the fascinating Galeria Perdana, home to more than 9,000 opulent objects gifted to the longest-running Malay prime minister.
