World’s top 10 honeymoon destinations, world’s best 50 swimming pools, world’s most enchanting secluded seaside, world’s best island, world’s top five-star resort hotels, as well as the annual best resort hotel and best resort spa…, The Datai Langkawi in Malaysia — a private resort island where Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, recently embroiled in a lobbying scandal, held his daughter’s wedding — has earned countless accolades. This island, home to a two-million-year-old tropical rainforest, has proven to be a paradise. Even one of the Three Tenors, Pavarotti, couldn’t help but exclaim upon his first visit to The Datai Langkawi: “I almost cried when I saw how beautiful God had made this paradise.”

Many people like to describe The Datai Resort as a paradise, largely due to its seclusion and tranquility. The one-island-one-hotel concept helped the YTL Group establish its reputation in resort management with this property located on Pangkor Laut Island.

The Datai, which underwent renovation in November 2007, has already become an indispensable holiday destination for many returning guests. Since its opening in 1993, it has attracted international visitors with its refined service. It now has 142 standalone villas, spread across hillsides, within lush forests, and over the sapphire-blue sea. Designers have ingeniously integrated the villas with the island’s natural scenery, allowing guests to enjoy modern amenities while surrounded by pristine rainforest. Every room type features spacious bathtubs and top-tier bedding. Step through the wooden doors onto a lazy balcony where you can admire flowers and ocean views; the overwater villas offer the added charm of being surrounded by sea on all sides.

To ensure greater privacy for its more exclusive guests, the resort has specially designed the Spa Village. This area is accessible only to those who have booked spa treatments and to guests staying in the Spa Village. It includes a pool facing the sea, charming overwater villas, boutique shops, and lounges for quiet contemplation... There are also exclusive vacation estates (Estate) designed specifically for premium clients — every spot offers privacy and a personal sanctuary. If you want to know what it feels like to live in paradise, then choose The Datai Resort.
