Kedah is a state in northwestern Peninsular Malaysia consisting of a mainland region used for rice cultivation and the Langkawi islands. The state is home to three verified luxury hotels representing Four Seasons, St. Regis, and The Ritz-Carlton brands, all located in Langkawi.
Kedah covers a total area of over 9,000 square kilometres in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The state's geography divides into two distinct regions: a mainland portion with relatively flat terrain that has been developed for rice farming, and the Langkawi islands, which comprise mostly uninhabited islands. The state capital is Alor Setar, while other major towns include Sungai Petani, the largest urban area by population, and Kulim on the mainland, with Kuah serving as the main town on Langkawi.
Kedah borders Perlis to the north, Perak to the south, and Penang to the southwest, with an international boundary shared with Thailand's Songkhla and Yala provinces. The terrain transitions from flat plains in the central and northern regions to more mountainous areas in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the state.
