A young Swedish family heads off to the island of Langkawi off Malaysia's northwest coast to indulge themselves and to discover a family-friendly resort that welcomes young children. Their journey starts on Malaysia Airlines during the Swedish winter and ends in the delightful beachfront resort of Tanjung Rhu where baby Maya is taken care of while parents Charlotta and Matt indulge in a luxurious Ayurvedic massage.
On a clear day, you can see parts of Thailand towards the north and Indonesia towards the south-west. The cable car ride up the hill takes about 20 minutes and is highly exhilarating. At the top, there are two stations as well as a viewing bridge that let you take in all of Langkawi. As a bonus, your ride will take you over jungle waterfalls and a thick carpet of virgin rainforest. It's a very educational and thrilling experience for the whole family.
