The Datai Langkawi is one of Asia's most celebrated rainforest resorts, set on the northwest tip of the island where a ten-million-year-old rainforest tumbles down to the Andaman Sea along a private bay. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it is as much a nature immersion as a hotel, with resident naturalists and a permaculture garden.
The dining is woven into the forest and shore. The Dining Room serves a lavish buffet breakfast and candlelit fine dining with a walk-in wine cellar; the Gulai House offers authentic Malaysian cuisine deep in the rainforest; the Pavilion floats on the canopy atop 30-metre stilts for traditional Thai; the Beach Club grills fresh seafood by the sea; and the Lobby Lounge pours cocktails, single malts and cigars over the pool.
For a rainforest-and-sea escape with real conservation credentials, the Datai is unforgettable.
