:: The One with Tanjong Rhu ::
Work has taken me this time to Langkawi Island for a project that’s been handed down to me.
Four Seasons Resort Langkawi is one of the two 5 star resorts along my destination just beside the neighbouring Tg. Rhu Resort.
The hour long flight and a mere 20 minute cruise along the roads of Langkawi Island brought me to the north end of geopark at Tanjong Rhu Beach. Ever wondered why it’s called Tg. Rhu?
Tg. Rhu or Casuarina Cape is home to Casuarina trees, mangroves and limestone hills.
Even though most of the beach is owned by the resorts, there is a public beach right at the end of Jln Tg. Rhu that is home to local traders. Boating activities are as low as RM 180 for a boat rental for 7 people.
Tg. Rhu beach fronts the Andaman Sea, with gentle stroaking waves and a 1.5km white sandy beach. IMHO, it’s not that beautiful in comparison with Pulau Perhentian but its exclusiveness appeals to the luxury class foreigners from Arab.
Rooms at both resorts starts from RM 1,600 per night to RM 17,000. I gathered from the locals here that Michael Schumacher is a frequent visitor to Tanjong Rhu.
Putting that all aside, I love the sounds of the waves as they gush towards the shoreline especially when you are thinking of the sheer size of the world that lies beyond you.

Nice pics man…
If you want to go to a beach that is private, but at the same time, very affordable, try Pangkor Island…
