The Datai Langkawi

Nestled within the treetops of a 46-acre estate at the north-western tip of the island, the Datai Langkawi is utterly unique. Enveloped by a 10-million-year-old virgin rainforest home to flying lemurs, dusk leaf monkeys, and a plethora of birds and butterflies, you’ll find a collection of rooms, suites and villas elevated within the forest’s lush canopy or with direct access to the resort’s private white-sand beach. For a cut above, the Datai Estate with its five bedrooms, private pool and garden is one of the largest hotel villas in Asia. Whichever room you choose, opportunities to explore are endless – there are bicycles for hire, s a sensational yoga pavilion and a championship golf course is located within a five minute drive from the resort. 

Why we love it 

Surrounded by nature in all its glory, guests are invited to soak it all in with daily forest trekking with the resident naturalist and the chance to explore the Nature Centre with its lounge, library and education area that offers a fascinating insight into the surrounding ecology.
