The Datai Langkawi, Malaysia

Combining the best of both, The Datai is sandwiched between an ancient tropical rainforest and a postcard-perfect bay on the Andaman Sea. Its 121 luxe rooms, suites, and villas have thatched roofs, teak flooring, soaking tubs and ethereal canopy beds. Spend days here swimming in the bay’s gentle waves, taking nature walks through the flora, or enjoying a muscle-melting massage in the streamside spa. Creatures and critters are no strangers to The Datai, so keep your eyes peeled for the Dusky langur, a local monkey that is equal parts cute and cheeky.
