It's not quite the full century, but remote Langkawi, part of the northernmost Malaysian state of Kedah, consists of 99 beautiful islands.
Most of the islands are uninhabited, however a few have been designated for tourism, so that travellers from the world over can experience the beauty of this isolated region.
The second largest island of Langkawi is Pulau Dayang Bunting, which translates to 'Isle of the Pregnant Maiden'.
A large lake on the island is believed to have magical properties; the water is said to grant fertility to barren women, hence the name.
But the story of the Langkawi Islands doesn't stop here, because unbeknown to most, there is more to these 99 islands than meets the eye.
There are another five hidden islands which are revealed only at low tide, taking the total to 104.
The archipelago was largely off the grid in the 20th century due, supposedly, to the curse of a young woman stabbed to death for adultery.
Her innocence cursed the island with bad luck until 1987, lifting after seven generations had passed.
Situated in the Andaman Sea, you can see Thailand from the northern beaches of the main island of Palau Langkawi.
Or, for a soaring view of the terrain, walk the Langkawi skybridge on the peak of Gunung Mat Chinchange Mountain.
The pedestrian bridge is reached by cable car and runs for 125 metres along the 700 metre high mountain.
The Langkawis are home to a wealth of stunning creatures including Hornbills, Spectacled Langurs, Sea Eagles and Giant Monitor Lizards.
Beyond nature, it is also one of the cheapest places to shop in Malaysia, as it is a tax free zone.
if you wish to experience the Langkawi Islands in five-star luxury, accommodation is available at the Datai Langkawi, with overnight rates starting from 2160 Malaysian ringgit, or $726.
