Langkawi, often called Kedah’s gem, gets its name from the red-backed sea eagle that dominates the island’s skies.

A group of reddish-brown Eagles flying high in the sky adds to the legend and symbol of Langkawi. In Malay, ‘Dataran’ means square, leading us to English’s magnificent ‘Dataran Lang’ or Eagle Square.
