An ancient rainforest on the north western tip of Langkawi Island is home to The Datai, an exclusive, romantic hideaway bordered by a white sandy beach and the supreme tranquillity of the Andaman Sea. Perfectly at ease in its tropical surroundings, The Datai is famed for excellent, friendly service, a relaxed, intimate atmosphere and accommodation that blends local materials with contemporary design. 

If you want to get closer to nature, stroll the footpaths that weave through centuries old, pristine rainforest. Wander past the lakes, caves and waterfalls that have inspired local legend for generations and emerge onto the white sand beach, complete with pool and wide array of watersports. For the ultimate massage, try the spa's signature Datai Massage - allow the synchronised attention of two therapists to create a sensation of peace and well-being.Suitably refreshed and relaxed, enjoy a beach dining experience. Atmospheric and romantic it is an unforgettable, intimate evening under the stars, with a private waiter serving delicious food and fine wine in a candle-lit beach setting.

Accommodation
The Datai's rooms, villas and suites, all with spacious bedrooms, living areas and private verandas, are inspired by local architecture, featuring exposed beams, polished wooden floors and bamboo screens amongst the understated décor. All boast amazing views of the natural landscape - be it the lush jungle or the shimmering Andaman Sea, where only Tarutao Island punctures the horizon.Our favourite are the Superior Villas, with their individual, free-standing suites sheltering under the rainforest canopy. Connected to the main resort by stone pathways, these elegant villas are immaculately designed to offer beautiful accommodation in total privacy. Each have refreshing rainfall showers and outdoor spaces for dining and relaxation.
