The Datai Langkawi

Shannon Oberg-Short

Truly the most incredible resort we have ever stayed. This hotel feels like a 6 star. I wish we booked longer! The rooms, facilities, experiences and activities are amazing. Most importantly the staff, attention to detail and the service is what makes this place so special. We’re already planning our trip to come back next year.

Our vacation at The Datai was one for the books. The resort had exceptional service, accommodation and food, but what really stood out was their commitment to sustainability. The wildlife in the area aren’t aggressive and it’s obvious that they aren’t fed by humans to keep coming back to the area. The highlights of our trip were the morning and evening nature walks where the guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the grounds. Overall, a great trip that we’d repeat over and over again. Wanted to shout out the following staff members who made our stay memorable - Dev - Ronald - Mukris - Fatana - Hazzil

Loved the nature experience. Well maintained rooms, Great food and very lovely staff. The tour guides for the walks were very knowledgeable as well. Stayed twice and we’ll surely come back.

Undoubtedly one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The location and setting is just stunning, set in the middle of a rainforest, on the most beautiful beach. There are monkeys and wildlife everywhere you look. The service is next level, with the most friendly and attentive staff - even someone offering to clean your sunglasses on the beach. The rooms are huge, the food is delicious, I honestly can't fault it.

The Datai is truly a rare gem in the hospitality industry. This is my second visit, and while it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what I love most about this place, I can say that I feel completely at ease the moment I step onto the property. Despite being over 30 years old, the resort continues to shine in its own unique way. The service here surpasses that of many top-tier hotels around the world—warm, sincere, and sophisticated—a true reflection of Malaysian hospitality at its finest. I was amazed to learn that many of the staff have been with the hotel for 20 to 30 years. They are the true treasures of this property. There are countless things to fall in love with here: rooms tucked away in the lush forest, the friendly buggy rides in the morning, sunglasses polishing by the beach—the list goes on. There’s simply so much to love and enjoy. You could easily spend a week—or even longer—here without ever feeling out of place. The Datai is truly one of a kind; please keep it that way and continue to shine.
