Excellent hotel for relaxation. The staff is very friendly and professional. We have words of special thanks to Anika who arranged for our sons, who were not able to stay in the hotel due to room unavailability, to join us at the hotel and using all it’s facilities. We had a great family time relaxing at the beautiful beach and splendid pools. Wonderful place to stay in Langawi.

Outstanding experience

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in worldwide. Spectacular setting and beautiful beach; rainforest villas in the heart of the jungle with copious wildlife (macaques, dusky leaf monkeys, monitor lizards, great hornbills, otters swimming in the sea, butterflies...); outstanding and really friendly service; excellent food. There is very little not to like about this outstanding hotel in an outstanding location.

Our birthday stay at The Datai Langkawi was nothing short of exceptional. This resort truly offers the perfect blend of luxury and nature immersion that's rare to find. The natural surroundings are absolutely spectacular. We were enchanted by the resident butterflies fluttering through the lush rainforest canopy—it felt like stepping into a nature documentary. The beach is pristine and peaceful, offering a secluded slice of paradise that made us feel worlds away from everyday life. The Nature Centre deserves special mention. It provided fascinating insights into the local ecosystem and rainforest, adding an educational dimension to our stay that we didn't expect but thoroughly appreciated. The staff there were knowledgeable and passionate about conservation. As golf enthusiasts, we were thrilled with the golf course. Playing surrounded by such stunning tropical scenery elevated the entire experience. The course is well-maintained and offers both a challenge and breathtaking views. Throughout our stay, the resort struck the perfect balance between luxury amenities and respect for the natural environment. The Datai Langkawi isn't just a hotel—it's an experience that reconnects you with nature while pampering you in comfort. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly special getaway in Langkawi.
