Langkawi has been duty-free since 1987. This has made the price of chocolates the lowest price in the country. For the buyers and lovers of chocolates, Langkawi has become their paradise. Chocolates can come in the form of brands available in the entire world. Such chocolates can be found in the many Langkawi chocolate shops. In the following list, the 10 best Langkawi chocolate shops are identified.
Langkawi chocolate shopping: one of the most tempting activities to enjoy when in Langkawi. Below are 10 best Langkawi chocolate shops – each unique in their offerings and worth visiting as part of your Langkawi adventures.
1. Haji Ismail Group (HiG) / Kom
In fact, whenever I think of chocolate shopping in Langkawi, this particular store strikes a chord in me. This store has made its status as the chocolate capital of Langkawi. Just the variety present at this store will blow your mind away. Stacks of Ferrero Rocher; stacks of Kit Kat held together in the form of towers alongside Hershey’s Kisses.

The best thing about this store is the mix and match variety of international as well as Malaysian chocolates. Stores like Beryl’s should cater to the demands of chocolate lovers. The fact that Langkawi is a duty free zone makes the rates at this store astonishing. This store functions until 10pm. This means that whether you have eaten your dinner or not, you can still manage to squeeze in the chocolate shopping.

2. Eastern @ Cenang Duty-Free Shopping
Imagine a spot so brightly and colorful that one could swear the Willy Wonka factory has moved its operations to Pantai Cenang. This is the East for you. Lighting would already arouse the appetite for food, but the choices that bring folks to this spot are irreplaceable.

They carry all the popular brands: M&M’s, Snickers, Nestle, Hersheys – as far as the eye can see at a price that’s expensive only relative to the already astonishing low standard in mainland Malaysia. The spot in Pantai Cenang couldn’t have been more convenient as you would probably already end up at the beach.

3. Choco Planet, Cenang Langkawi
Just the mention of the name intrigues me, if only for the curiosity factor. Choco Planet sounds like somewhere I’d end up at for the whole afternoon. The fact that Choco Planet resides at Pantai Cenang already puts me smack in the middle of Langkawi action. Now me personally and the reason why I’m interested in this outlet: the fact that the outlet provides the “Coklat Duty Free” concept shows that chocolate outlets truly know their stuff when they choose to specialize.
Even at the strip at Cenang, sometimes the options available can become rather too many to decide between when shopping at the beach; being able to filter the options available at chocolate stores like Choco Planet really does come in rather handy.
4. TS Duty Free Shop
Its partnership with Underwater World proves to be a natural advantage over other shopping centers because the customers are already going to the same place. They already have a reason to go. Why not get the chocolates too? This shopping center announces that it is the “largest shopping mall in Langkawi”.
This announcement isn’t only a marketing strategy because the chocolate outlets are quite impressive. The factor that attracts me to the shopping center has to be their durian-flavored chocolates. They might not attract everyone, but everyone in Malaysia should know that the two can mix quite well as gifts because the person receiving the gifts has to experience the thrill. The discounts given allow customers to get as many as possible in bulk without feeling the pangs of guilt.
5. Coco Valley Sdn Bhd (Pantai Cenang)
This store has a fairly long history. Of course, the fact that the store in Pantai Cenang is where the whole “island party” happens also goes a long way.
As for what I like most about the Coco Valley chocolates has everything to do with the fact that the store already has a great following due to their unique offerings relative to the more tourist-like chocolates found elsewhere. They’re no longer just someone passing out mass-market chocolates; the store has ideals laid out.
“Coco Valley” has all the makings of plantations where the best cocoa or whatever comes from. Even if the business merely revolves around retailing the chocolates rather than the actual process of making the chocolates, the theme clearly goes a long way.
6. Billion Duty Free Supermarket
Regarding the factor of the size of the business, Billion really strikes a home run. Just entering the supposed largest duty-free shopping complex in Langkawi shows how the chocolate variety seems to have its own zip codes. They began from the popular brands that everyone can afford up to the exclusive ones that would not even qualify elsewhere.
Of course, the advantage isn’t only because of the variety because the layout of the shelves allows easy access to the brands that I like. Malaysian chocolates are given the same recognition as the giants when it comes to the world of confectionery. Business plans must also consider the fact that the customers looking for more information related to shopping might appreciate the allocated time.

7. Ole Ole Duty-Free Chocolate
The confectionery at Cenang Mall has their finger on the pulse when it comes to their customers. While other outlets tend to satisfy everyone, Ole Ole has discovered what the store can really deliver: confectionery. Chocolate items tend more towards the popular brands. However, throwing in a few hidden treasures in between really does give the customers the wow effect.
The aspect that the store sells wafers and cookies as options really gives the customers the benefit of versatility when purchasing in case the customers tend to set up gift baskets. The 11 am opening time appears to set the laid-back atmosphere that seems to prevail in the island setting and can really assist the customers in thoroughly enjoying their shopping spree following their breakfast.
8. Rams Duty Free Shopping Center
Chocolates and home decor seem very unrelated until one experiences it personally. This outlet has been set up at the Dayang Business Center in Kuah. This provides contrast to the options available as tourist traps in the beach area. The fact that “affordable prices” lure the locals as customers is always a positive sign.
This outlet allows one to decorate the entire house and purchase chocolates for everyone in someone’s list of gifts within the same trip. This proves to be a money-saver as well as fulfilling the proverb “kill two birds with one stone”.
9. Warisan Duty
The Langkawi city center location makes the business easily accessible to customers going out elsewhere other than at Pantai Cenang. Its 1pm business operating time is quite late. This can actually be very convenient when doing pre-arranged shopping. The thing that excites customers about the business entity Warisan is the availability of different goods: chocolates, perfumes, beachwear, handbags, footwear.
This chocolate shopping spree takes one’s shopping therapy to the next level. Variety in shopping can come in very handy when shopping for customers whose styles and tastes differ. Its Langkawi city center location will probably ensure that the business has even more competitive prices since the rents charged will probably be lower than the beach.

10. Jetty Point Duty Free
Location, location, location. This couldn’t get more perfect as it is only steps away from the ferry in Langkawi. Landing in Langkawi? They know the best place to get their chocolate fix before checking in. Leaving Langkawi? The problem of buying chocolates at the last minute was solved.
Even if it wasn’t angkawi due to the convenience alone, this would still warrant a mention as not only will customers not have to go out of their way, the location attracts customers as the ferry terminal isn’t the best-liked spot as everyone has limited time.
11. Teow Soon Huat Duty Free Sdn. Bhd.
“Traditional”-sounding names like Teow Soon Huat have their advantages in the Malaysian retail market: “They have the family business tradition thing going for them. They’ve earned the trust of the community over the years. This isn’t a fly-by-night tourist trap; the fact that the formal business structure has been put into place indicates that this business has staying power.
The thing that really intrigues me about traditional businesses like this one has everything to do with the fact that the distinctive advantages that exist within traditional businesses reside in the fact that this business isn’t placing all their bets—the entire gamut of their business success—on the tourist trade.
Their duty-free status and probable very good relations with their suppliers mean that discounts are available to them that their more glitter-and-glam rivals can only fantasize about. Their surname indicates that their business is probably Chinese Malaysian-owned.
As someone whose experiences have been limited to Chinese Malaysian businesses like this one, the business acumen and concern for their customers’ wallets exhibited by this business seems to me to demonstrate their advantages when it comes to getting the best buck for one’s dollar.”
