Shaped in the form of an expectant mother that has led to its name – Pulau Dayang Bunting which when translated to English means ‘Isle of the Pregnant Mother,’ the mentioned island is rated as the 2nd largest of its kind in Langkawi. Adorned in vast stretches of lush green foliage, Pulau Dayang Bunting features its own lake that is associated with a degree of superstition. This is because the lake waters are thought to make barren women fertile. However, for the less superstitious, these waters afford conducive conditions to go swimming, regardless of age or skill level. Interestingly enough, the island contains a fascinating cave known as Gua Langsir which provides a chance to spot a large colony of bats.

Should clear blue skies, verdant backdrops and inviting aquamarine oceans be to your liking, then what’s stopping you from getting to Pulau Beras Basah Island?
