LANGKAWI - For the first time in history, it is now possible for a layman to visit Rebak Island. The private isle off the coast of Langkawi was once an exclusive getaway for high-paying hotel guests and residents of Rebak Marina Langkawi. The new hotel management invites the public to come closer to the island and enjoys what the island got to offer.

In an effort to accommodate increasing visitor demand, the management has decided to extend its boat shuttle schedule—which will now run continuously between 6 am and midnight.

Visitors will also be able to redeem their ticket fee with every RM50 worth of purchases made on the island on the same day.

Let's talk about their new promotions at BURGER KINGDOM in the meantime! 

Are you kidding me? RM80 for a single burger?! One burger should never cost you RM80. That's not just a rip-off, it's practically highway robbery!

Things to do at Rebak Island

To be honest, I've been thinking the same thing. I mean, besides food, what else is there to do? Don't be surprised—there are lots of other things you can do! They have a spa as well as other facilities like swimming pools and gyms. Plus there's beach volleyball and tennis courts too.

Honestly, I'm just as confused about what to do there as you are. I mean, besides food.

The whole island is filled with other things to do. They have spa facilities, swimming pools, gyms, and beach volleyball courts. You can also rent bikes or go hiking with a guide. The beach is golden sand perfect for picnics and the sand won't splash on your food anyway—they sell picnic baskets too!

Sunrises at the resort beachfront are simply the most spectacular! If you do not wish to miss the golden hours, you should go to sleep early and get up at 6 a.m.

If you're looking for a place to have dinner and music, this is it.

They have local duo bands playing at their restaurant every night from 7 pm to 10 pm. The music is R&B and coffee house songs that will get your toes tapping and make you want to dance. The food here is fantastic, so make sure you come hungry!   

If you are looking for something to do on the weekend, why not try their Steamboat Galore, Saturday night BBQ dinner, or had some ala carte menu. Check out the latest offer from their official website.
