Overview
5-star rainforest resort on Datai Bay, Langkawi
Location & Surroundings
The Datai Langkawi sits along a private beach on Datai Bay, bordered by an ancient rainforest. The property includes an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by Ernie Els, set against limestone hills. Guests can explore the rainforest on guided walks with resident naturalists or join birdwatching tours.
Accommodations
Accommodations range from Canopy Deluxe rooms to Rainforest Villas and Beach Villas, each with a private balcony or terrace. All rooms overlook the tropical landscape and include a living area and en-suite bathroom with a dressing area and bathtub. Beach Villas offer direct access to the sand and a private pool.
Dining
The Datai Langkawi operates five restaurants, including The Gulai House, an open-air restaurant serving Malay and Indian dishes in the rainforest. The Dining Room offers Western and local favourites with views over the main pool and treetops. The Pavilion provides Thai cuisine in an outdoor setting, while the Beach Club serves Mediterranean fare on the sand.
Wellness & Activities
The on-site spa provides a range of treatments including massages, body scrubs, and facials in a setting overlooking a mangrove river. Daily yoga classes and fitness sessions are available, along with complimentary bicycle rentals and water sports such as kayaking and windsurfing. The property also offers photography workshops led by award-winning photojournalist SC Shekar.
Family & Sustainability
The Datai Langkawi runs a zero-waste permaculture garden that supplies organic produce to the kitchens. Conservation initiatives include recycling programmes and habitat preservation for local wildlife like dusky leaf monkeys and hornbills. Children can join supervised activities such as the Little Chef class, mini-beast discovery on the beach, and the Little Gardener programme.
