The Datai Hotel Langkawi, Malaysia

This award winning luxurious resort is tucked away in the middle of an ancient tropical rainforest with a mile of soft sand and secluded beachfront facing the Andaman Sea. The airport is a 30 minute scenic drive away. The 108 rooms, suites and villas are all beautifully designed, using local woods and fabrics. The deluxe rooms are situated in the main wing, elevated above the forest with superb views. Villas are built high up in the rainforest. Superior Villas offer even bigger space, incorporating an oversized day bed, dining table for two and an extremely spacious bathroom with an eight inch rainfall shower. In addition there is a selection of suites in the main building, plus five villas with private plunge pool. All accommodation has air conditioning, ceiling fans, TV, mini bar, in room safe, tea and coffee making facilities, large bathrooms with a separate shower, bath and balcony. Hotel facilities include several restaurants, two swimming pools (one at beach level, the other at the hilltop reserved for adults only), non motorised water sports and gym. Guests can rejuvenate at the hotel's stunning Spa with a range of relaxing treatments from herbal baths to body massages. Entertainment is deliberately low key. A spectacular 18 hole golf course, a club house and tennis courts are nearby. Guided jungle walks and free mountain bike hire can also be arranged.
