The service was indeed beyond extraordinary and excellent.. The private beach was quiet, and they have activities to keep you active. The pool, the restaurants, the forest, I love all of them!
One thing that I like was the fast response from the team. One hour after my booking, they already sent the confirmation with the welcome email and instruction. I have stayed in other five stars hotel and rarely I get this.
Enjoyed my stay for sure, these were just some of the pics taken. will come back again for sure.
You get what you paid..
Thanks for the hospitality Datai!!

My recent stay at The Datai Langkawi was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a seamless and pleasant check-in experience, complete with refreshing welcome drinks as we effortlessly received our room key. A lovely and unique touch was the personalized room tour, something that is quite rare and truly set the tone for the exceptional attention to detail that followed.
The room itself was a haven of luxury, made even better by the thoughtful daily refills of the room fridge, ensuring we were always comfortable. Dining at The Datai was a culinary delight, with fantastic restaurants offering delicious meals that satisfied every craving.
One of the standout features was the beach—flat, serene, and absolutely perfect for long, relaxing walks. But what truly elevated our experience was the impeccable service from the staff. They addressed us by name, were always attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond at every turn. Whether it was changing our beach towels without us having to ask or preparing lounge chairs for our family, they anticipated every detail with grace and professionalism.
Our stay at The Datai was an unforgettable experience of luxury, relaxation, and unparalleled service. We will definitely be returning!

Absolutely stunning resort. An architectural gem designed by a master architect in a pristine setting where ancient rainforest meets the tranquil Datai Bay. Service was exceptional, and the breakfast was something to look forward to everyday. We took our two children (11&8) who loved the pool, food options for kids, and encounters with frogs/monkeys/exotic birds/butterflies and so on.

We stayed here twice, and it is officially become one of our favourite hotel in Malaysia, probably the world too!
A piece of paradise.
The beach is awarded as one of the top 10 best beaches in the world, and the hotel is built within the 10 million years old rainforest, in harmony with the natural surrounding, is something that always drawn us to.
Constantly great hospitality, warm and genuine, and the hotel breakfast is something worth mentioning too, delicious with great luxe selection!
We are planning to make this special place our annual birthday getaway. Can’t wait to go back soon!

My husband and I stayed at the Datai as part of our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit.
The service is exceptional, along the best I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. A special shout out to our butler Asyraf who was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much for him, he was so organised and made our visit so easy and stress free. His service felt truly natural and not at all forced, his calm personality really shone through and we got on with him really well, I would definitely ask to have him as our butler again if we visit again.
All the staff we were served by were lovely, they all spoke very good English, were very polite, helpful and represented the hotel perfectly.
The accommodation we had was beautiful. We stayed in a beach villa and I’d highly recommend booking this. The location was private and secluded, we experienced the joys of the rainforest as well as the beach. The villa is massive with a lovely big living space to enjoy. The perks you get being in a beach villa also make it worth while, such as the mini bar, afternoon tea, butler, snacks etc. Although you are quite far from the main building, it’s a lovely walk along the beach and through the butterfly walk, or you can arrange a buggy with the butler which was always with us within minutes.
The food:
Breakfast was amazing, you could stay for two weeks + and still try something new each day! We had breakfast in our room which was always great, but the buffet is the best as there is so much choice as well as an al la carte offering.
Afternoon tea served in our room daily was lovely and just the right amount to keep us going until dinner.
We were lucky enough to have the chef series whilst we stayed so we experienced an amazing tasting menu which is a meal to remember!
Our favourite meal was at the Gulai House, the beef randang was out of this world!
We were slightly less impressed with the Beach House menu and food, it seemed quite plain and simple, I personally preferred it for breakfast or lunch over dinner.
The Thai was good, especially the Tom Yam Soup, but the main courses didn’t blow us away.
The spa was excellent, the treatment was fantastic and the setting is incredible and so calming. Well equipped gym for its small size and staff were once again lovely in there.
Water sports were good with a fair bit on offer!
The general setting of the hotel is so beautiful, the nature is like nothing I’ve experienced before. We were lucky enough to have a family of Dusky Leaf monkeys visit our villa a few times, and we saw the illusive flying lemur just outside our villa! I would definitely recommend the guided walks with the nature experts as they are so knowledgeable and interesting.
Overall we had the best time and completely fell in love with the hotel, we will be back!
