The mystical island of Langkawi is home to The Andaman Langkawi, located at Datai Bay. Situated between the majestic Mat Cincang Range and the deep blue Andaman Sea, this luxury resort sits in the middle of a virgin tropical rainforest. Centuries old trees, many with huge buttress roots and jungle twines envelope the resort, creating a sheltered feeling away from the bustle of city life. But make no mistake, the Andaman is not a rustic outpost in an unforgiving locale; the hotel boasts the flawless accommodations and sophisticated facilities of a world-class resort.

The facilities

Guests of The Andaman enjoy myriad activities, from golf and watersports to exploration of coral reefs and nature treks through the pristine rainforest. The Andaman’s V Botanical Spa boasts restorative, pampering treatments that incorporate natural local flora. Choose from three distinct restaurants offering casually elegant cuisine in serene settings overlooking the pool, the rainforest and Andaman Sea.

The rooms

Spacious and airy, all of the rooms and suites at this luxury resort boast sizeable bedrooms with private balconies that offer superb views of the natural surroundings. Flat-panel televisions with DVD players, fully stocked mini-bars and plush bathrooms with separate glass-enclosed rainforest showers come standard.
