Dream Forest Langkawi is a new tourism attraction opening on 1 May at the foot of Gunung Raya mountain.
This new tourism attraction in Langkawi Island is set to be placed on a world-class level, which is part of an integrated project comprising a Dream Forest Immersive Park and Dream Forest Book Village.
Dream Forest Langkawi
The Dream Forest Langkawi is also built at around 20 million ringgit (US$4.5 million). The project is also conceptualised and developed by Enfiniti Group and led by Malaysian Tiara Jacquelina.

The tourism attraction will feature a multi-sensory, immersive evening walk through a 1.2km trail in Langkawi's lush rainforest, where local stories and legends of the island come alive through the soundscape, illuminations and projection mapping on the trees and the ground. Some spaces are also interactive.
During the day, visitors can enjoy nature walks, and at night, the forest transforms into a 6.39-hectare-wide natural theatrical space.
When the sun goes down, the forest comes alive.... and the tales of Tasik Dayang Bunting, Merong Mahawangsa and the Giants of Langkawi turn into interactive adventures for visitors of all ages.

Tiara Jacquelina mentioned the following at a press conference;
"The project was four years in the making. It started in 2019 as a very different project, designed to be experienced as separate stories told through various mediums of technology in individual pavilions.
This was part of a plan to revitalise and reinvigorate the beautiful, former Kampung Buku of Langkawi. We even had plans for a spectacular nightly performance in an outdoor theatre.
By 2020, it was very clear that the tourism industry and attractions like the one we created needed to adapt to a new normal with Industrial Revolution 4.0. The world was changing; the way people travelled and consumed entertainment was changing.”
Before you visit the Dream Forest, you must know the following;
- The venue is dark and has many rough pathways. Wear comfortable shoes such as sneakers.
- To avoid mosquito bites, wear long sleeves and long pants to avoid skin exposure, and use insect repellent.
- The park is enormous. Give yourself enough time to explore.
Dream Forest Book Village - Phase 2
The second phase will be known as Dream Forest Book Village, which will house an events space, F&B and retail outlets, and picnic spots.
There will also be regularly curated cultural-based pocket performances of music, dance and poetry readings around the gardens or at the 120-seat amphitheatre.
