The Datai – Langkawi, Malaysia
The Datai has to be one of my favourite hotels in the world. It nestles in the treetops on the beautiful island of Langkawi, Malaysia.
Luxurious it certainly is. But it is not brash, ostentatious, glitzy or pretentious. Also at its heart are wellness, fine dining and sustainability.
It has nature at its heart and the rainforest provides a fabulous backdrop. Experiencing fascinating walks in the rainforest with Head Naturalist Irshad Mobarak is a real privilege.
Enjoying the birds, monkeys and so many other creatures.
It is the essence of what I adore. Excellent food, excellent service, stunning accommodation, a beautiful sandy beach, alongside the opportunity to thrive in nature and learn about the rainforest and its creatures.
