A young woman who died around 1819, Mahsuri is an important figure in Langkawi, and though it was only built in the 1950s, Mahsuri’s Tomb (Kota Mahsuri) is one of the island’s more meaningful tourist attractions. Langkawi is a place steeped in local legend and the most famous of these is the story of Mahsuri, an extremely beautiful woman who was sentenced to death when others became jealous of her good looks.
The island of Langkawi was then said to be cursed for seven generations, and you can learn all about the story at the Mahsuri museum.
There are a number of galleries that you can visit and you can even see Mahsuri’s former home and her tomb which sits in the center of the complex.
Besides the tomb, there’s a museum, a handicrafts shop, a theater, food outlets, a re-created traditional house, and a well believed to be magical.
