LANGKAWI ISLAND HAS OTHER WAYS OF RELAXING YOU
You could gain a different perspective on the jungle by exploring after dark with a resident naturalist, or cruise the island’s beautiful coastline on a traditional sailing boat. You could take a cookery class or even try your hand at windsurfing. Or you could simply relax; the 10-million-year-old virgin rainforest surrounding the resort has several hidden spa villas where you could take a hibiscus bath whilst listening to jungle birdsong.
And Langkawi Island has other ways of relaxing you. The beach of Datai Bay, for example, is as fine as powder and the Andaman Sea is warm and welcoming. And the Datai Langkawi itself is ultimately luxurious, making it the perfect choice for your tailor-made holiday to Malaysia. Reopening in 2018 following a major refurbishment, the Datai will unveil beautifully remodelled interiors, exteriors and dining spaces, as well as a brand new five-bedroom villa called The Datai Estate, complete with a games room, 24-hour butler service and a private chef.
