Atma Alam Batik Art Village

If you love fine art and beautiful handcrafted items, then this place is absolutely worth a visit. Atma Alam specialises in the production of batik, a traditional wax-resist textile dyeing, and sells beautifully decorated clothes, bags, scarfs and other handmade souvenirs such as oil paintings. They also offer classes where you can learn the art and paint your own batik.

Shopping

Langkawi is a paradise for shopping. The archipelago was given duty-free status by the Malaysian government, which means that you can find almost anything at bargain prices. Duty-free shops are everywhere around Langkawi island, from the tiny souvenir shops along the streets to the big department stores in Pantai Cenang and Kuah. Do not forget to visit one of the night markets if you want to have a taste of the local culture and buy some cheap items and foods.
