The languid pace of life in Langkawi is a #throwback to a calmer age. From local market scenes to fishermen on boats returning from the sea, happy with the day’s catch, life is perfected into an art form.
At Resorts World Langkawi, a similar spirit of sharing and hospitality come to the fore. The staffs, who hail from nearby towns and villages, are eager to show guests the ways of their homeland. As a Resorts World property, a certain level of service and luxury is expected and their Langkawi property lives up to expectation.
Facing the emerald ocean with private marinas and surrounded by a 10-million-year-old rainforest, the resort is ideal for relaxation and offers a series of adventures to acquaint guests with the island’s culture and landscape.
Overlooking the majestic Pulau Dayang Bunting, Resorts World Langkawi exemplifies a unique aesthetic and spirit with its colonial-inspired architecture, façade and décor – all which hint at a resplendent time long gone. In addition to a fleet of 211 rooms, the resort is equipped with a gym, spa, boardwalk, restaurant, function room and its latest attraction, an infinity pool.
Although this property is not on the island’s main beaches, it more than makes up for it with its service, lush rooms, and proximity to the airport and tourist attractions. Given the resort’s secluded location away from the chaos of cities, you can be sure of peace, relaxation and comfort from being close to Mother Nature, without compromising the luxury of modern day living.
Stay
All rooms, which face either the Andaman Sea or lush gardens, evoke a style of living that’s the best of both worlds – plush furnishing with several modern amenities like LCD TV, a mini bar with coffee and tea-making facilities and complimentary WiFi.
For a spectacular view of the ocean and the sunrise, opt for the recently refurbished Signature Suites or Premier Sea View rooms. If you don’t mind shelling out cash for comfort and luxury, go for their Presidential Suite.
Spa
If you want to feel truly zen, unwind at their Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa.
The compact and full service five-star Javanese spa offers a menu comprising hand and foot therapy, aromatherapy massage, as well as stress reduction and therapeutic massage – all conducted in a calm, cosy environment kitted out like a stylish spa in Bali.
The masseuses are friendly, well-trained and strong, though you can request for a softer pressure.
Savour
As any day spent sightseeing, you’ll be ravenous after all that walking. For a satisfying bite, head to the Seagull Coffee House.
This restaurant is an all-day outlet and provides a good mix of classic brasserie dishes and local delicacies. We recommend waking up early in the morning to catch the sunrise while having your breakfast and coffee here. Pure bliss.
