A short sail northwards from Telega Harbor Marina takes you to the home of towering tropical trees, nestled on the edge of the rainforest with views across the Andaman sea and towards Thailand.  Datai Bay is exceptional for swimming and snorkeling and is host to The Datai, and the Andaman Resorts, two of Langkawi’s most exclusive luxurious 5 star hotels.  Use the dinghy to explore or swim in this spectacular bay, backed by an all tide sandy beach and lush tropical rain forest.  There is a strict smart-casual dress code in the hotels and you are welcome to use the facilities as long as you pay!   

The stunning architecture of these world-famous resort hideaways (don’t forget to pack an autograph book) nestled in the dense jungle is definitely worth a visit, although all food and beverage outlets are a little on the pricey side.
