The Danna is a boutique-style resort in Langkawi offering a colonial-heritage style experience with a good mix of the modern and Malay touches thrown in.

Langkawi’s Danna is at the larger scale of resorts we normally feature, but we do love the blend of colonial and modern and the resort still maintains a more intimate feel.

125 rooms are set in a 4 storey building overlooking a large 3-tiered swimming pool by a white sand beach fringing a peaceful bay.

Rooms at the Danna are typified by four poster beds, wooden floors, plush rugs, rich fabrics, antique style furniture, Malay handicrafts and soft lighting. The feel is warm, subtle and tropical.

Choose between colonial style rooms in the main wing of the hotel and the recently built private villas.

The British colonial heritage style is at the heart of the Danna’s design and ethos. It’s the combination of the colonial era elegance with the modern features though which we think makes the Danna a winner.

Plush sofas, romantic lighting, afternoon tea – we love the lounge areas at the Danna with their echoes of a bygone era.

Most resorts in Langkawi are quite isolated, but a real bonus of the Danna is the location by the Marina which means there are some great dining options right outside the hotel.
