This luxurious island resort is one of Malaysia’s best beachfront escapes

Think: striking colonial architecture, exciting curated experiences and a dreamy infinity pool

The island of Langkawi is a tropical archipelago of over 100 smaller islands and inlets, which together stand as one of the jewels in Malaysia’s crown. Pristine blonde beaches and ancient rainforests swathe the shores and the hills of Langkawi, while bustling marketplaces and colonial architecture balance the serenity of the natural environment with a distinctive island metropolis.

The Danna Langkawi is the island’s best beach resort, letting guests experience the magic of Langkawi from their own slice of paradise. Located just 15 minutes from Langkawi International Airport in Telaga Harbour Park, the award-winning resort offers genuine island hospitality and unlimited moments of true luxury. Sumptuously-appointed villas and suites overlook majestic sea views, beach-front restaurants capture the best of local and global cuisines, and the lush grounds overflow with bird and marine life: the perfect recipe for the holiday of a lifetime.

Space to relax in

The Danna Langkawi promises every guest a stay where every day is extraordinary. The resort unfolds from its base within a lush tropical enclave, with rooms, suites, and villas that look out onto the mountain, marina, courtyard, or the Andaman Sea. The generously-sized rooms are decorated in a Colonial-Mediterranean style, with floor-to-ceiling panelled doors drinking in the views that lay beyond. King or twin rooms and one to two bedroom suites are available to book, the largest of which comes with its own pool.

For even more luxury, the one bedroom Princess Beach Villa and two bedroom Empress Beach Villa offer unparalleled sophistication, with a minimalist design scheme, elevated amenities from the likes of Dyson and Jo Loves by Jo Malone, and a private infinity pool that provides direct access to the beach.

Global cuisines with a view

When it comes to dining, The Danna Langkawi houses a variety of restaurants and lounges offering local and international specialties.  From casual to elegant dining, romantic dinner by the beach or an intimate family gathering, each culinary moment has been carefully planned and considered to soak in all that the Langkawi has to offer, from unmatched views to the freshest of local produce.

Traditional Malaysian cuisine can be found at Straits & Co, the premier Peranakan restaurant at The Danna Langkawi. Vibrant flavours and seasonal produce shine in this gastronomic ode to the Peranakan culture, offering a dining experience rich in history and taste.

On the other end of the spectrum is the resort’s restaurant Terrace, which offers classic Italian fare in a modern dining space. Walls of windows overlook the glistening infinity pool, forming the perfect backdrop to enjoy fresh seafood and homemade pasta paired with an excellent selection of wines and cocktails.

For small plates and cocktails throughout the day, Verandah Bar and Lounge brings an old-world colonial feel to its hospitality offerings. Stepping inside this hidden gem is like travelling back to the glamorous days of the 1920s, with soaring high ceilings, magnificent chandeliers and towering pillars.

Guests can also enjoy elegant all-day dining at Planters, afternoon treats and coffee at STC, or indulge in a cigar in the Churchill cigar room.

Exploration and relaxation

To make the most of their paradise, The Danna Langkawi offers world class amenities on-site along with a curated list of activities to take guests around the best of Langkawi. The three-tiered infinity pool is the perfect place to relax and unwind, with views over the turquoise waters of the beach beyond, and back into the emerald greens of the resort grounds and surrounding forests. A separate kids pool keeps younger guests entertained, while the onsite Danna Jr Club offers even more entertainment for children.

Those looking to stick to their routines – or set some new ones – can enjoy state-of-the-art TechoGym equipment in the newly refurbished gym, before unwinding in the onsite spa, where curated restorative treatments promise a state of total bliss.

Water sports, cycling, cooking classes, and beach yoga are just some of the in-house activities available for guests who want to soak in the Island life, while off-site experiences like exotic bird watching, touring natural wonders at Southeast Asia’s first UNESCO Global Geopark or enjoying home cooked meals in a local family’s home, can be arranged with assistance from the hotel concierge.

With timeless elegance and understated splendour, The Danna Langkawi is designed to transform dreams into memories. Combining postcard perfect views, sophisticated accommodation, world class amenities, and curated experiences, the resort is the epitome of paradise, and acts as the ultimate base from which guests can unwind, relax, and explore Langkawi island.
