I assume going to the beach will be okay, but I haven't been. I think as long as on the roads you are dressed correctly

I just want to point out that muslimic isn't exactly the correct term. Islamic is the correct descriptive word; the religion is Islam and the people who practice it are muslims.

Anyway, most likely bikinis are allowed because I'm guessing it's a tourist attraction anyway, and Malaysia is overall pretty diverse. I've seen women in bikinis next to women in head to toe burqa.

For most of Langkawi’s history, the area was very laid back and life flowed at a slow pace. Although the island has succumb to modernization, this easy going vibe can still be sensed in the local atmosphere. In fact, many of the local families living on the island still survive on traditional means, fishing and farming. And about the bikinis I think that it is allowed.
