The Datai Langkawi

Datai Bay, Langkawi, Malaysia

The Datai Langkawi is an iconic resort hidden within a tropical rainforest some 10 million years old. Villas and pavilions seem to dissolve into the jungle, trails wind down to the secluded beach of Datai Bay, and the architecture becomes an extension of the surrounding nature — a rare kind of luxury escape that people travel to Langkawi specifically for.

About the Hotel

Tucked into Datai Bay on the island's northwest coast, the resort sits amid a primeval rainforest around 10 million years old. The grounds slope naturally from the dense jungle canopy down to a long white-sand beach and the Andaman Sea — here, forest, sea and architecture exist as a single natural landscape.

Staying at The Datai Langkawi lets you choose your own way of immersing in nature: waking up within the ancient forest canopy or living right at the edge of the Andaman Sea. Spacious villas come with private terraces, the Beach Villas step straight onto the sands of Datai Bay, and multi-bedroom villas along with The Datai Estate offer even more space and seclusion.
