The Datai, situated on the north-western tip of the pristine Malaysian island of Langkawi, provides an idyllic natural retreat within the depths of a centuries-old virgin rainforest. Set above a secluded cove, the resort has its own white sand beach facing the peaceful Andaman sea. Free-standing villas crafted from local materials are scattered throughout the forest and are connected to the resort's central areas by a series of pathways.

HOTEL FACILITIES

18-hole Championship golf course The Datai Bay golf course is conveniently located next to the hotel. A championship 18-hole course, it has been carefully landscaped to blend with the natural beauty of the tropical rainforest setting offering a unique golfing experience.

The Mandara Spa

The Mandara Spa can accommodate individuals or couples in each of its four pavillions and offers a host of exotic spa treatments that combine the spirit and traditions of Bali with the mysticism of Langkawi's ancient rainforests. A haven of serenity for those seeking to restore body, mind and soul, the spa offers traditional body treatments such as herbal scrubs, massage treatments including the speciality Mandara massage where two spa therapists work in harmony on each guest, and aromatherapy treatments.

Private Beach and Watersports Pavillion

The Datai's private white sand beach is the perfect place to sit and soak up some sun while enjoying the crystal-clear azure waters of the Andaman Sea. The Watersports Pavillion provides a host of activities including snorkelling, sailing (on catamarans and hobie cats) windsurfing and paddle boarding. Boat charters for deep-sea fishing and scuba diving can also be arranged.
