London weather sucks! Very unpredictable, sometimes raining, sometimes hot and most of the times very chill. Isn't great to just whisk off myself to the tropics during this time of the year (eventhough it's now raining too) and get a lush retreat in the island. And I'm thinking of the islands in Malaysia, my home country. Land of grace and multicultures...
Say hello to The Datai, located in the heart of a jungle (or hutan) in Langkawi, Malaysia. GQ April issue stated this IS the place to be for holiday. Far from the hustle bustle of the crowded city, away from the too cramp tube and out of the foggy air pollution. In to the most gorgeous and serene design that any resort could ever offer.
What's so amazing about Datai is it's location. In the heart of the jungle and by the deep blue ocean. Very shipwrecked, but stylish one. The decor.. oh so damn amazing. Very opulent that fuses traditional Malay kampung with the Zen urban interior. On the outside you got the teak wood frame, but on the inside you get the flat screen TV. What more fusion could you ask for.
The rooms comes in various types - the double room, superior villas, corner & end suites, pool villas, pool suites, the very special Datai suites and very unique Hutan Suites. Depending on how you can stretch your wallet, the room is yours to stay. I really love the Hutan Suites - looks amazing by the small river run by its side. If you feel like doing Puteri Gunung Ledang-style bath, then the suite is so damn perfect.
And if you're hungry, feel free to dine alfreso. The sky is your roof, and the jungle is your wall. Wow, so damn hot.
The Datai is surely the place to have the island retreat!
