Kuah is a resort town and district capital located on the island of Langkawi in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. It serves as a significant administrative center for the region and functions as a primary hub for local tourism.
The town is centered around its jetty, which serves as the main entry point for travelers arriving by ferry from both the Malaysian mainland and Penang Island. Since Langkawi's development as a tourist destination began in 1986, Kuah has grown into a major town with a population exceeding 30,000 people.
