5-star rainforest resort on a private beach in Langkawi

Accommodation & Setting

The Datai Langkawi is set along a private beach on Datai Bay, with rooms, rainforest villas, and beach villas overlooking tropical landscape. Each accommodation offers a private balcony and a living area, while the Rainforest Villa provides a dressing area and bathtub. Guests have access to two outdoor swimming pools, a private beach area, and complimentary bicycle rentals for exploring the grounds.

Dining

The Datai has four on-site restaurants: The Gulai House, an open-air restaurant in the rainforest serving Malay and Indian dishes, The Dining Room offering Western and local favorites, The Pavilion with Thai food in an outdoor setting, and the Beach Club for casual meals. Sustainably sourced culinary delights from accomplished chefs are available at all restaurants. Guests also experience themed dinner nights and cooking classes, plus complimentary fruits and a chef's nightly sweet treat.

Wellness & Activities

The Datai Langkawi's on-site Spa offers a range of holistic treatments including body scrubs, massages, and facials in treatment villas set amid the rainforest. Guests can join yoga classes and fitness sessions in the open-sided seafront pavilion, or use the sauna and steam room. The resort also provides complimentary morning and evening guided nature walks led by naturalists, plus photography workshops by award-winning photojournalist SC Shekar.

Sustainability & Conservation

Datai Langkawi operates a zero-waste Permaculture Garden that supplies organic produce to the kitchens. The resort's conservation initiatives focus on preserving local culture and wildlife, and guests can tour the recycling center where glass and plastic are turned into saleable items. A stingless bee apiary on site produces honey sold in the gift shop.

Location & Golf

The Datai Langkawi is a 40-minute drive from Langkawi International Airport, along quiet roads through rainforest. Guests have access to the Els Club Teluk Datai, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ernie Els, located a 5-minute drive from the resort. The course is set against ancient limestone hills and offers a unique rainforest golfing experience.
