Built with love and imagination - it’s one of a kind...

Situated on the northwestern tip of Langkawi Island, The Datai is nestled inside an ancient tropical rainforest, with a secluded white sandy beach facing the calm Andaman Sea.

Some people think a hotel is just a bed for the night but a stay in The Datai will change that perception. Built on stunning scenery which leaves the heart fully-warmed; The Datai will provide you an experience of Langkawi like no other.

Blended with nature and fine traditions, The Datai maintains quality and excellence in providing accommodation for all its guests. Look around you and you’ll notice subtlety and luxury that none can compare with.

In 1993, after every construction puzzle was solved, The Datai proudly opened and since then, has evolved into a renowned, friendly harbour for travellers to find. Built with love and imagination - it’s one of a kind.
