Langkawi’s 450-million year old rainforest enfolds The Datai from all sides. Pathways winding through towering, vine covered trees lead you to the shore of the Andaman Sea, its close presence betrayed only by a glimpse of the glittering water through emerald leaves. Sheltered, secluded and serene – The Datai is a luxury retreat in the heart of nature.
The rooms, suites and villas have all the comforts that could be expected from a 5 star grand deluxe resort, including balconies or private sunning decks to enjoy the scenery. Pool villas have a private plunge pool with a built in Jacuzzi. The timber and grey stone of the buildings blend perfectly with the environment; opening up to spacious rooms in smooth woods and a combination of contemporary furnishings and local artworks inside. (See room amenities below).
If choices such as seaside alfresco dining, an elevated Thai restaurant in the forest or Malaysian and Western specialties in The Dining Room are not enough, guests are also free to visit the restaurants at the neighbouring Andaman. There are a variety of sports activities on site and chartered boats can be arranged for island hopping and overnight cruises. Remember to get a souvenir from the boutique, which has a selection of designer leisure wear, handicrafts and antiques from throughout South East Asia.
