Datai Langkawi

Pulau Langkawi


Tucked in a corner in the far northwest of Pulau Langkawi and surrounded by ancient rainforest, the Datai manages to feel both untamed and luxurious. Along with rooms and suites in the main hotel building, there are spacious and modern rainforest or seafront villas to choose from.

All have access to a small city’s worth of amenities (spas, gyms, yoga – the works), not to mention one of the island’s best beaches. A unique luxury experience.
