Oceanfront resort The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi opens today on the Malaysian island. Set in a tranquil private bay, the resort is surrounded by an ancient jungle, while its beachfront is sheltered by trees. Spacious interiors in the 70 guest rooms, 15 suites and 29 villas are framed by delicate references to Malay architecture, which can be seen in the intricately-designed features, large windows and gabled roofs. Elegant overwater villas offer panoramic views of the sea, complete with magnificent Langkawi sunsets. The resort’s Villa Mutiara offers deluxe accommodations for up to eight and boasts two pools and access to a private beach.
Guests can enjoy a contemporary performance of an ancient tarian payang on the beach, a traditional gesture of thanks and respect for the rich bounty of the sea and land. Guided jungle walks reveal the myths and creatures of the surrounding rainforest. Spa rituals at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Langkawi have been created to restore equilibrium within body, mind and soul with an infusion of traditional local elements.
