About the Location

Highlights & Activities

Canopy Walk

Led by renowned naturalist and author Irshad Mobarak, guests are invited to head out on the Rimba Trail, an informative walk that runs through the coastal forest to an 18-metre high canopy walk overlooking the surrounding 750 hectare rainforest.

The Datai Bay Beach

Unspoilt as the ancient rainforest that fringes the shore of the Datai Bay. The white-sand beach curves gently in a protective crescent moon around the bay to create a stretch of sand that is 1.5 kilometres long and 30 metres wide at normal tide.

Sailing

Discover the hidden beauty of Langkawi on board the Naga Pelangi. Malay sailing boats evoke a bygone era of pioneering discovery and fantastical adventure aboard the Naga Pelangi, a 30-metre, traditional wooden Malaysian junk schooner.

Nature Walk

A team of resident naturalists and marine biologists have curated on-site nature walk experiences and activities to allow you to discover the unique flora and fauna of the resort.

Taking on its responsibility to conserve and strengthen nature’s increasingly fragile resources and to reduce the negative impact of its footprint on the environment, The Datai Langkawi created The Datai Pledge, a four-pillared programme anchored on the single-minded objective of creating a sustainable environment for the future.

In the last century, Langkawi has lost nearly half of its natural wildlands. The Datai Langkawi’s Wildlife for the Future programmes aim to protect and restore the natural heritage of the island through establishing wildlife corridors, repopulating natives tree species, and educating local stakeholders on the importance of reforesting, protecting, and conserving Langkawi’s natural heritage.
