Top Pantai Tengah Hotels, Langkawi

 
 
Like Pantai Cenang, the core of Pantai Tengah is its wonderful coconut tree fringed beach that stretches for close to a kilometer. The area is adjacent and south of Pantai Cenang. In fact many hotels and establishments in this area claim to be in Pantai Cenang as there is really no clear demarcation between the two areas. 
 
 
However a big difference is the relative calm and quietness of Pantai Tengah and its romantic ambience that are favorites to a large section of tourists. Several budget, mid-range and luxury resorts that have come up here, although not as many as in Pantai Cenang. Many of them are either on the beachside or having sea view. 
 
Hotels in this area are reachable within 15-20 minutes from the airport. Entry to most of these hotels are from the main road Jalan Pantai Tengah or Jalan Teluk Baru that run through this area and parallel to the beach for some parts. There are plenty of restaurants on the roadside (both budget and upscale) and within easy access from the hotels. They give you nice dining options of varied cuisine.
