An ancient rainforest on the north western tip of Langkawi Island is home to The Datai, a luxury romantic hideaway bordered by a white sandy beach and turquoise Andaman Sea. Perfectly at ease in its tropical surroundings, The Datai is famed for excellent, friendly service, a relaxed, intimate atmosphere and accommodation that blends local materials with contemporary design.
