After months of hard work, it was time for an island escape and some relaxation! I've never been to Langkawi but I've heard so many friends of mine raving about the island that I finally decided to visit.

01 | FOUR SEASONS RESORT *****

Extraordinary is an understatement.

This place needs to be named first, because it's the kind of resort that takes your breath away from the moment you enter the stunning Moroccan style lobby. The architects did an impressive job here.  

Location

The wonderful Four Seasons Resort is located on the most beautiful beach in Langkawi, Tanjung Rhu. Surrounded by lime stones, a lush jungle and white beaches, this place is just perfect to rediscover yourself and enjoy the ultimate relaxation.

Rooms

Guests will stay in gorgeous beach villas, all of them are spacious with spectacular views and beautiful furnishings. Every villa has a gigantic bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub.

Features

There are two pool areas for adults and families. Well, guess where I was spending most of my time? The 55 meter wide infinity pool facing the Andaman sea offers a lot of privacy with separate lounging areas for couples.

The Four Seasons features its own spa where I enjoyed a brilliant massage. They also do yoga classes in the morning and around sunset time.

02 | THE DANNA *****

The most relaxing resort in Langkawi.

The Danna is the place I enjoyed the most because I really got to relax here at this fabulous property with beautiful rooms, designed in a mix of Mediterranean style and British Colonial decor. The Danna is currently ranked on Tripadvisor as #01 Hotel in Langkawi. So, check it out! 

Location 

The 5-star beachfront resort is located on the west coast of Langkawi, surrounded by almost 3 acres of lush gardens, the sea and the mountains. The Danna is just a couple minutes away from the Cable Car and the 3D Museum which makes it a very convenient location.

Rooms

Lovely decorated rooms of a large size, unbelievably comfortable bed with giant pillows and a spacious bathroom with bathtub and rain shower. The big balcony offers panoramic views over the marina and the white sandy beach. 

Features

The infinity pool is massive in its size, with several jacuzzi pools. They have some pretty cool sun beds on the beach, I fell asleep in one of their cocoons (look at the image at the top of this post).

There is an excellent in-house spa with sauna, a library, kids clubs and many more. 

My highlight was the daily Afternoon Tea, a fine selection of tea with several delicious snacks like quiches, sandwiches, wraps, cakes and pastries. Superb!

03 | BERJAYA RESORT ****

I'm still dreaming of that breakfast buffet...

The glorious Berjaya Resort has been around for a while and is probably the most popular hotel in Lngkawi. It's one the biggest resorts with over 350 rooms on 70 acres of land. This place is gigantic.

Location 

Located in a spectacular setting surrounded by a tropical jungle and the emerald Andaman sea. Expect to see monkeys and birds and other amazing wildlife because you're right in the rainforest.

Rooms

I stayed in one of the rainforest chalets, a wooden bungalow, build on stilts. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, bathroom with shower and a balcony facing the seaside. Monkeys stopped by from time to time on our terrace so we had to keep the door closed.

Features

An excellent designed pool area with a bridge, waterfall and impressive views over the mountains and the beach. There is a bar inside the pool and a happy hour which makes the pool a fantastic place to hang out for a while and enjoy a couple of cold drinks.

04 | GEMALAI VILLAGE ***

A magical place to stay in Langkawi.

The Gemalai Village is surely not a first-class or luxury resort, but it's in such a fairytale setting and incomparable to most of the resorts I have seen, that's why it deserves to be named here!

Location 

The resort is located at Pantai Cenang, the touristic center of Langkawi. It's a small hotel with only six bungalows, built on stilts in the middle of rice paddies. It's magical to wake up in this unique setting and watch buffalos, ducks and birds from your window...

Rooms

I stayed in a house on two floors with an outdoor living area on the ground floor and a comfortable sleeping room and open air bathroom upstairs. Rooms are well sized with wooden decor and large windows.

Features

No pool, but the beach is less than 10 minutes walk away. Grab one of the bicycles and explore the surroundings. The breakfast was served on the terrace which was very convenient. 

If you like to stay at the Gemalai Village, you can check here rates and availability.
