Pulau Rebak Besar, Langkawi

Pulau Rebak, Langkawi (6 June, 2005)


Pulau Rebak Besar (GPS: 6.29635, 99.69526) is the biggest island on the west coast of Pulau Langkawi. It is located off the shore of Pantai Cenang, and is one of a pair of islands with the smaller Pulau Rebak Kecil. It was named after the rebab, a Malay percussion instrument, albeit with a slight change in spelling.

The island has a lake in the middle which has been made into a lagoon by opening it to the sea on the southward side. A resort called the Rebak Island Resort has been developed around the lagoon. There is also a marina for yachts and sail boats here.

Apart from the central lagoon, Pulau Rebak Besar has several stretches of sandy beach, some natural, some man-made.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
