The Datai Langkawi
Langkawi, Malaysia
Nestled on the lush Langkawi Island, 125-room The Datai Langkawi captures the unique ambience of its wild location. Squeezed between peaks and the pristine white sands of Datai Bay, the hotel’s elegant villas, suites, and rooms offer sophisticated interiors that harmonise with the surrounding 500 hectares of tropical terrain. The forests around here are old, dating back some 10 million years. This is a playground for nature nuts: when the property first opened, a team of conversationists was hired to bake sustainability into the build. Today, the hotel actively works to protect marine life, regenerate rainforests, nurture local communities and make its daily runnings self-sufficient. Guests are invited to enjoy abundant activities, from upcycling workshops and water sports in the bay to jungle excursionsof butterfly walks, mangrove hikes and day-long expeditions. It's not all hard work: from traditional Malay breakfasts to authentic Thai food in the treetop Pavilion restaurant, fuelling up for active days is easy. The Guali House restaurant is a stand-out – a Malay dining experience under a traditional thatch-roof building. The spa focuses on indigenous ingredients and Malay herbal rituals.
