The Datai Langkawi , Langkawi

The Datai is a high end luxury resort nestled amongst a 10-million-year-old rainforest, complete with impeccable service and spacious, modern villas. It not only offers ultimate luxury but a wealth of wildlife and natural beauty. This is where you come for absolute top-end royal treatment and tranquillity.  

Datai Bay along the Andaman Sea on which the property is perched is an exclusive and secluded stretch of sandy beach with beautiful, clear waters and tropical greenery. The property was constructed specifically to blend into the surrounding jungle, using natural and recycled materials while actively reducing the carbon footprint as construction took place.  

There are several dining options, including the award winning Gulai House serving authentic Malaysian cuisine as well as bars and lounges. In a secluded part of the rainforest, the Spa and Wellbeing villas offer traditional Malay treatments, while the hotel also has an on-site, award-winning golf course, beachfront gym, tennis courts, yoga pavilion and swimming pools. The hotel also organises jungle treks with an expert naturalist, so be sure to look out for monkeys, wild boar and flying squirrels.

The rooms, suites and villas, most with their own private verandas, offer a luxury stay and are classified into three collections. The Canopy rooms are located in the main building overlooking the rainforest, while the Rainforest Collection sits in the jungle near the stream. Sitting adjacent to Datai Bay is the Beach Collection, fit with private pools and dedicated butlers. 

Of course, The Datai comes with a price tag, but the luxury stay and experience is worth every penny.
