Setting & Location

Datai Bay sits at the north-west tip of Langkawi inside a 10-million-year-old rainforest, one of Asia's last intact tropical rainforests at sea level. The resort's 22-hectare site rolls from the canopy down to a 1.5-km white-sand bay.

Rooms & Villas

54 Canopy and One-Bedroom Beach Villas plus the 2- and 3-Bedroom Beach Villas and the standalone Datai Estate. Every key has a private outdoor deck; the Beach Villas open directly onto the sand.

Dining

Five F&B venues: The Pavilion (refined Thai), The Gulai House (Malay rumah-style banquet), The Beach Club (all-day grill), The Dining Room (international buffet + à la carte), and the Lobby Lounge for afternoon tea.

Spa & The Nature Centre

The Spa is built into the rainforest on a stilted boardwalk, eight treatment pavilions with open-air showers and a Malay/Ayurvedic therapy menu. The on-site Nature Centre runs daily wildlife walks, hornbill feeding and the Datai Pledge sustainability programme.

Experiences & Activities

Beyond the rooms, The Datai Langkawi curates local experiences that bring the destination into the stay, guided activities, off-property excursions and lifestyle programmes arranged on a daily basis.
