Besides the beaches, Langkawi’s duty-free shopping is the next best reason to visit. Kuah has a large concentration of duty-free stores; these supermarket-style outlets stock in-demand items ranging from cigarettes, liquor and chocolates to luggage, sports shoes, perfume and cooking utensils.
The malls are popular among locals, but boutique stores such as those along Cenang’s strip offer good taxfree bargains as well.
Amitabha Primitive Art
This store, located just down the road from Laman Padi, is an air-conditioned location with a nice array of merchandise; the flowing print dresses and hand-stitched pillow cases are more than worth your dollar. Adjacent to it is the Alun Laun Spa, and you can also pick up Alun Alun’s signature essential oils from this retailer.

Located beside Underwater World, this store is a chocolate-lover’s paradise; with such a wide assortment of cocoa products that you’ll be spoilt for choice. The fact that Langkawi is a duty-free island makes chocolates a lot cheaper; you can get a bar of Cadbury’s for less than RM10 – now that’s value for money!

Home to fast food outlets, a food court, money changers and an information counter for tourists, this outlet has a collection of over 100 shops and an adjoining supermarket. You can get a variety of items here including electronic items; there’s usually cheesy Malay music blaring from the speakers. This mall looks quite run-down and mostly only locals patronise it.
Opening Hours: Daily, 10am to 10pm

This shopping complex is one of the major duty-free outlets on the island, offering reasonably priced household items, clothing, decorative ceramics and crystal. If truth be told it carries the same type of merchandise as the other major shopping venues in Langkawi; the smaller stores are more likely to peddle one-of-a-kind goods.

This shopping centre is located beside Underwater World; but don’t get your hopes up as it resembles a mostly middle-class shopping store with discounted items placed in bins and stacked high to the ceiling. It stocks up on jewellery, souvenirs, watches, cosmetics, leather goods as well as selected designer labels; adjacent to it is a food court with fairly-average fare.

Al Ikhsan
This is probably the best store on Langkawi Island. Selling sporting apparel and footwear, Al Ikhsan has some pretty awesome bargains. Nike, Adidas and Reeboks items are reasonably priced; the only downside is the fact that they’re not really the latest designs but really at these prices who’s complaining?
