The archipelago was once a haven for pirates, with many coves and hidden beaches serving as perfect hideouts for marauders of the Andaman Sea. Despite its current popularity, Langkawi remained largely undeveloped until 1987 when it received duty-free status, transforming from a sleepy fishing community to a world-class destination. Local legend tells of a beautiful maiden named Mahsuri who was wrongfully accused of adultery and cursed the island for seven generations – a curse many believe ended just as Langkawi's tourism began to flourish.
