Buried deep in an ancient rain forest, The Datai Langkawi is an immersive tropical experience. Guests share the 46-acre site with lemurs and dusky leaf monkeys, some of whom have no qualms about joining you poolside. The timber-framed buildings are designed to blend in with the surrounding flora and guests are encouraged to join daily walks into the dense forest. The Datai Estate Villa, all 37,600 sq ft of it, is the ultimate in in-suite facilities: huge swimming pool, full working kitchen, game room, library, and a spa treatment room. With a 24-hour dedicated butler and private chef available, it is the perfect choice for families intent on staying put. There is no kids club here, but the whole resort is a source of wonder for young minds, and child-friendly walks with the resident naturalists can be organized on request.
