Come to The Datai Langkawi on the northwest tip of the island and be rewarded with striking natural surrounds: a private white-sand beach, enticing jungle-clad hillside and stunning views of the Andaman Sea. Blending into the environment, rooms, suites and villas are set within different locations around the resort’s expansive grounds – elevated in the canopy, tucked into the heart of the 10-million-year-old rainforest or resting directly on the water’s edge of the private bay. Re-designed by interior designer and architect Didier Lefort, there’s an emphasis on incorporating local culture, environment and materials throughout the resort – without compromising on comfort and style. A newly created Nature Centre is led by renowned resident naturalist, Irshad Mobarak as well as a number of marine biologists, the enticing Datai Spa uses local treatments with an emphasis on the Malay concept of ramuan and authentic Malaysian and Thai dishes are served in two of the on-site restaurants.
