The Datai

The Datai Langkawi is a 5-star beach resort located on the northwestern coast of Langkawi, Malaysia, set within a pristine 10-million-year-old rainforest. The property comprises 121 rooms, suites, and villas, many offering views of the lush tropical rainforest, with some overlooking the Andaman Sea and Tarutao Island. Guests access a private footpath leading directly to Datai Bay, a white-sand beach recognized by National Geographic among the world’s top ten beaches.

The resort’s character is defined by its integration with the surrounding natural environment, emphasizing sustainability through its Datai Pledge programme, which focuses on conserving local flora and fauna while minimizing environmental impact.

Dining options showcase Malaysian and international cuisine in distinctive settings that complement the tranquil environment. Additionally, The Els Club Teluk Datai, a championship golf course located nearby, adds appeal for golf enthusiasts.

This property is suited to travellers seeking a high-end resort experience deeply connected to its natural surroundings, with interests in well-being, nature, and quality dining in a secluded beach and rainforest setting.
