The Datai Langkawi

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel. Special thanks to Miss Anne (Front Office), who attended to us during check-in. She was warm, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. We would also like to commend all the staff, from the Concierge team to the restaurant staff, for their excellent service and hospitality throughout our stay. Besides the outstanding service, the room was cozy, spacious, and comfortable. What truly made our stay special was the beautiful rainforest environment surrounding the property. We enjoyed waking up to the fresh air, lush greenery, and soothing sounds of nature. The rainforest was also filled with beautiful tropical plants and towering trees, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting everywhere we walked. The natural surroundings provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing us to relax and reconnect with nature. The combination of exceptional hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and the stunning rainforest atmosphere made our stay truly unforgettable. We created many wonderful memories during our visit and will definitely return again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing nature retreat with excellent service and facilities! ❤️

My favourite resort in Malaysia and top 3 in SE Asia! The Datai is Langkawi's inaugural luxury resort and it has maintained its position as #1 in Langkawi despite the passing of time. Its incredibly well maintained and the location and sense you get when you stay there is just magical. I don't think there's another place I've been to where you feel immersed in the rainforest but at the same time enjoy the beauty of the beach. The beach is great to swim in and the food is great. Such friendly service as well, a special shoutout to the breakfast team who took great care of our group (with 6 kids under the age of 10!), the buggy drivers and Danish who was my personal trainer for two sessions. Seriously one of the best PT sessions I've had so if you're at the resort plz do book him in! One has to work off all the good food :o) Comfortable rooms and love seeing the hornbills, nature walks at night (saw a flying lemur)! We want to make visiting The Datai an annual affair.

Beautiful hotel tucked away in the northern part of the island, surrounded by pristine rainforest with access to arguably the cleanest stretch of beach in Langkawi. Rooms are tastefully appointed. Hotel staff were wonderfully hospitable and made our stay extra special with small, thoughtful gestures such as cocktails on arrival and pralines after dinner. Breakfast was out of this world. Perhaps what I enjoyed most were wildlife sightings in and around the hotel, a testament to The Datai's pledge to ecological conservation.

The Datai Langkawi is one of the most extraordinary places our family has ever stayed. Nestled within one of the world’s oldest rainforests, it offers a rare sense of peace, beauty and connection with nature. The culinary experience was exceptional, with a wonderful variety of restaurants, each offering its own unique atmosphere and outstanding cuisine. Every meal was beautifully prepared using the freshest ingredients, while the breakfasts were among the best we’ve ever had an incredible spread with something for everyone and a highlight of each morning. What truly set The Datai apart, however, was its people. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, treating us with genuine warmth and kindness. Their thoughtfulness was extraordinary; even after we had left, a member of the team drove all the way to the airport to deliver my husband’s Apple Watch charger that we’d accidentally left behind. It’s this level of care and attention that makes The Datai so special. Surrounded by breathtaking rainforest, incredible wildlife and outstanding hospitality, it gave our family memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.
