Berjaya Langkawi Resort Pool

Talk about waking up in paradise. For me, this is it. Overlooking the pool area of the Berjaya Langkawi Resort has been our breakfast view for two weeks in February 2022. The first thing you need to know about the resort is that it’s massive in size – but never feels crowded. They built the […]

Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort

During our visit to the Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort in 2022, I finally had the chance to capture photos that go with the memories I already made on our honeymoon there in 2016. This private beach is a big part of why we want to return to Langkawi at least once every five years or […]

White-bellied sea eagle in Langkawi

Part of our tour through the Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi was an Eagle Feeding. While I absolutely recommend a tour in the park in general, I have conflicting opinions about the Eagle Feeding part. Eagles are wild animals; we visited them in their natural habitat, not in a zoo. The way the feeding worked […]

Kilim Geoforest Park on Langkawi

When we’ve spent our honeymoon in 2016 on the island of Langkawi, we didn’t get much out of the amazing resort that we’ve been staying at. When we returned in 2022, we finally made up for it and went for a Mangrove tour in the Kilim Geoforest Park. The Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi, Malaysia […]

Berjaya Resort on Langkawi, Chalet on water – bedroom view.
Can you imagine waking up every morning and enjoying this view? The stay in Berjaya Langkawi Resort passed by very quickly. Almost every year that we make our return home, we are reminded of our stay and we miss it dearly. But – we never really know, it may be that one day we take this route again and enjoy this destination.
Berjaya Resort on Langkawi, Malaysia – Bathroom with a view.
The entire stay in Berjaya Resort in Langkawi, Malaysia was truly another experience for us. This is a photo of… a bathroom in one of the premiere chalets on the water in Berjaya Resort. I already showed you a balcony from which you also see this jacuzzi, overlooking the surrounding clean and turquoise seawater. Surprise, surprise – we didn’t leave our residence very often…
Kuala Lumpur Sunset Panorama, Malaysia.
No doubt when in Kuala Lumpur, I wanted to capture the typical skyline with The Petronas Towers during blue hour and by turning around 180° degrees – I could just enjoy this beautiful sunset. This photo was taken from one of the balconies of The Sail Building, where we stayed during our visit to Kuala Lumpur. The upper floor was a pure paradise for us – external swimming pools, a gym area and an almost 360° degree view on the
Coastal Path in Berjaya Resort on Langkawi Island during the night.
Picturing this scene for a moment, I formed an interesting concept – I believe that the closer we are to the equator, the more the surrounding colours of nature become evident. The Berjaya Resort was exceptional – in the middle of a jungle and still on the coast, it offered many diverse ways of “living”. On a particular occasion, after dinner at a restaurant, I took my camera out to eternalize this experience of arriving home “on the water” and
Chalet on the water in Berjaya resort in Langkawi Island
There are 99 Islands that have created a region called “Langkawi”. It’s one of the biggest tourist destinations in Malaysia, though it is still undiscovered in comparison to Phuket, the capital of Thailand which is nearby. The “Langkawi Island Resort” was located partly on the coast and partly in the rainforest. We could in effect, leave our balcony on the turquoise water, close the door to our house and still be in the middle of the jungle with all its
View over Kuala Lumpur city in Malaysia during a sunset from infinity pool.
In the Setia Sky Towers, where we rented our flat were two kinds of swimming pools. First, on the rooftop of garages, good for a middle-day swim. Second infinity pool on the last floor of the building. There we often spent our evenings just looking on the sun setting in Kuala Lumpur and later on the colorful lights of the city and Petronas Towers. Observing how television Tower is changing its color we were thinking that we are very lucky
Skyline of Kuala Lumpur with Kampung Baru, Malaysia on a sunny day
During our trip to Asia we were lucky enough to spend a couple of days in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The capital of the country has a lot to offer, but the view from the balcony of the apartment we stayed in, was my favourite by far. Thanks to the small city village of Kampung Baru we had an unspoiled view of the impressive Skyline of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which looked different every time we looked at it.
Aerial photograph of Langkawi Beach, Malaysia with Berjaya Langkawi Resort
During our stay in the fantastic Berjaya Langkawi Resort in Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia I was finally able to take my latest technical gadget for a test-drive: My DJI Phantom 4 drone, which enables me to take pictures from a bird’s-eye view. The picture of the sapphire blue sea and the lush forest, together with the small wooden chalets of the resort prove that I couldn’t have picked a more suitable place – this coastal stretch deserves to be captured from
Batu Cave near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Hindu temple in the morning sun
The limestone caves, Batu Caves, are located to the North of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. The Temple Cave is not only home to a number of different Hindu shrines, but is also the largest cave of the system with a ceiling height of up to 100 metres. The pictures shows one of those incredibly impressive Hindu altars, which is located in the very depth of the cave.
Petronas Towers from KLCC Park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at night
At the bottom of the famous Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia you find the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) Park, which was designed by Roberto Burle Marx and is an absolute must-see when visiting the Malaysian capital. The park area measures about 20 hectares and offers many walkways, playgrounds and picnic areas, but its biggest attraction is the 10,000 m² big man-made lake, Lake Symphony with a 43 meter long bridge spanning across the water.
Langkawi stars, Malaysia. Berjaya Langkawi Resort at night
During our stay in the heavenly Berjaya Langkawi Resort on the Malaysian Island Langkawi, I decided to give the impressive art of astrophotography a go and it seems I couldn’t have picked a more beautiful night for my first try. When looking at the image afterwards, I was especially surprised and fascinated by the illuminated purple firmament, which gave a certain magical feel to starry night sky.
Water chalets in Langkawy, Malaysia. Berjaya Langkawi Resort under a dramatic sky.
We were lucky enough to spend eight nights in paradise, in the form of one of the water chalets of the Berjaya Langkawi Resort on Pulau Langkawi off the northwestern coast of Malaysia. From the comfort of the bungalow’s patio I was able to take breathtakingly beautiful pictures. It didn’t matter what direction I looked, there were stunning scenes everywhere. One of them was this cloudy sky over the Langkawi Island, Malaysia which seemed to have caught fire.
