The Datai Langkawi

Boutique Beach Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.6
 

The Datai Langkawi, an iconic five-star resort nestled in a 10-million-year-old rainforest on the northwest tip of Langkawi, Malaysia, overlooks the tranquil Datai Bay—acclaimed by National Geographic as one of the world's top ten beaches—offering 54 rooms, 40 villas, 12 suites, and 14 beach villas that harmonize visionary architecture with bespoke service and the island's enchanting wildlife.

Each accommodation, whether in the main building with rainforest vistas or immersed in the forest with private pools, unfolds to a living area and private balcony framing tropical landscapes, complemented by en suite bathrooms with dressing areas and deep bathtubs for serene soaks amid the canopy's gentle hush.

The Dining Room sets a refined tone with buffet breakfasts of fresh tropical bounty, quiet lunches of light salads, and romantic fine-dining dinners featuring Western and local favorites under soft lighting, while The Beach Club invites casual beachside indulgence in wood-fired pizzas and grilled catches of the day. Tucked in the rainforest, The Gulai House evokes rustic charm with floor seating and subtle glows for authentic Malay and Indian dishes simmered with regional spices, and The Pavilion perches in the treetops for traditional Thai specialties like fragrant curries amid leafy whispers. The Beach Bar stirs signature cocktails with light snacks by the waves, and the open-air Lobby Lounge offers daytime nibbles in a breezy embrace. Two swimming pools catch the dappled sunlight, the award-winning spa delivers massage and body treatments drawn from nature's essence, and mountain bikes invite complimentary forest trails, with access to a fitness centre and tennis courts at the nearby Els Club Teluk Datai.

A peaceful 40-minute drive from Langkawi International Airport, with the scenic 18-hole Els Club Teluk Datai golf course just five minutes away, The Datai Langkawi opens the rainforest's ancient secrets and bay's crystalline shores to moments of quiet wonder.
