Ayer Hangat Village, Langkawi

Ayer Hangat Village, Langkawi (8 September, 2018)


Ayer Hangat Village (GPS: 6.42293, 99.81363) is a hot spring in the northeastern part of Pulau Langkawi. It was formerly known as Telaga Ayer Hangat. Ayer Hangat Village is located about 14 kilometers outside of Kuah Town. It has since been redeveloped into a new entertainment complex that covers some four acres. The villagers of Langkawi recounted a story of a quarrel that erupted during the wedding feast of two giants, resulting in the spilling of hot water that created the hot springs. It is the same legend that also created other places in the Langkawi Archipelago including Kuah and Belanga Pecah.

The humble hot springs, from which the place got its name, has been renovated into a 3-tier hot-spring fountain, complete with an 18 meter hand-carved riverstone mural depicting the legends of Ayer Hangat Village. Entertainment programme at Ayer Hangat Village includes Malaysian and ASEAN cultural dances and traditional sports and games, live displays of Malaysian/ASEAN customs, Malay folk and classical dances and demonstrations of traditional Malay art and crafts such as batik-painting, congkat playing and foot massage.

Ayer Hangat Village also offers a selection of duty-free shopping, as well as Malaysian, Thai, and Indonesian cuisine served in its on-site theatre restaurant. Ayer Hangat Village is open from 10 am to 10pm daily.

On my 2018 visit to Langkawi, I only pass by Ayer Hangat Village without stopping. It was a wet day, and the overcast sky does not offer good photos anyway.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
