Situated by one of Langkawi's most picturesque beaches, amongst rainforest that tumbles to the sea, the Datai epitomises understated elegance and luxury.

The Datai is renowned for its attentive but unobtrusive service, for its stylish rooms and villas but above all for its superb setting, which makes the Datai one of Asia's premier resorts.

The Datai's setting amongst the rainforest is quite unique and the Datai kindly provides all guests with a little guide to the local wildlife that may be encountered in and around the resort.

The friendly service, the sounds of the rainforest and some exquisite meals are the things guests treasure the most at the Datai.

Rooms at The Datai range from the Canopy Collection Rooms and Suites to luxurious villas set in the rainforest or right on the beach.

Veiled by coastal vegetation and surrounded by tropical gardens, the lavish Beach Villas offer complete privacy, and with a butler at your service the ultimate luxury experience.

Dining at the Datai is one of the absolute highlights and one of the things which has been drawing guests back to the Datai year after year.

Datai Spa treatments in the rainforest spa, to the sound of a trickling stream and the background “music” of the jungle are really special.

The Datai is a wonderful design, just as if it had been carved out of the jungle.

The setting of the Datai amongst the rainforest is not for everyone (monkeys are a common sight and it can get dark under the canopy of trees), but the atmosphere is quite unique.

The Datai's re-opening at the end of 2018 marked an 18-month long extensive renovation program.
