This Leading Hotel of the World is one of Asia’s icons and symbolises discreet luxury in a truly stunning setting. Located in the north of Langkawi, the hotel is backed by rainforest and fronted with the glorious white sandy beach of Datai Bay. This is a true nature-lovers paradise that suits adults and families alike, but if you want a day out in town, Pantai Cenang is just a 45 minutes ride away.

Golfers will be in their element at the Els Club Teluk Datai which is just 5 minutes drive from the hotel and offers beautiful scenery ranging from rainforest to sea vistas. Back at the hotel, the spa offers treatment villas located next to a stream whose trickling waters provide a restful soundtrack to a variety of treatments that utilise the healing plants and herbs of the forest.

To escape the heat, there are two swimming pools including an adult pool at the main building which offers spectacular views out to the Andaman Sea, and the family pool which is close to the beach and has shallow areas for youngsters.

Dining is an occasion as you would expect; The Gulai House takes its design inspiration from traditional kampung houses and serves authentic Malaysian cuisine, whilst the Pavilion serves Thai food and appears to float on the rainforest canopy with its 30 metre stilts. For a different locality, the Beach Club offers casual dining close to the sea with everything from pizzas to a seafood grill.

To make the most of the warm Andaman Sea, a range of non-motorised water sports equipment is provided complimentary to guests; from snorkeling equipment to explore the shallows, to kayaks and windsurfing equipment to reach out into the bay.

A team of resident naturalists offer a variety of complementary nature experiences at the Datai. There is a beach walk to discover the interesting marine life in the tidal pools, walks through the rainforest exploring the various layers using elevated walkways, or bird watching walks with the chance to spot exotic species such as the orange bellied flowerpecker.

Canopy Deluxe Rooms are located in the main building and have a balcony with rainforest views. The bedroom has a living room area with two day beds, a writing desk and vanity table, whilst a well-equipped bathroom comes with a separate shower and bathtub, and double basin vanity. There is air conditioning, television, a one time complimentary mini bar (excludes spirits and snacks), safe and free WiFi.

Rainforest Villas include the same amenities but are larger, single-story buildings raised on stilts. They are immersed in the forest and connected to public areas via a series of pathways.

For the ultimate experience, the Beach Villas offer an open plan living room with high timber ceiling and an outdoor deck with a private 10m pool that leads directly onto the beach. They also come with butler service to attend to your every whim.
