Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of a trip through Malaysia. The hotel surpassed our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. The resort is currently undergoing renovations, but this doesn’t negatively impact the experience, due to the resort’s size and consideration has been given to find alternatives, such as still having an adult’s only pool, just in a different location. The resort is set on a beautiful and well kept beach with the backdrop of rainforest. The rooms are huge, with the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in – We actually looked whether you can buy them when we got home! But the thing that stands out the most and made this stay so memorable, was the hotel’s staff. The interactions with staff felt natural and friendly and several times they went above and beyond to make our trip special. Our son summarised this as “you just have to think of something and it happens”. Sometimes when you read hotel reviews and they mention staff by name, it makes you wonder whether the reviews are genuine. But in our case, we met several of the staff daily and they were such lovely, friendly people. Special mention goes to Awis for the Mangrove Boat Safari and his knowledge of the local wildlife. This kept our children engaged with the trip and it’s one of their highlights from the overall holiday – We would recommend this trip to see some of the Langkawi native animals up close. The food and drink in the restaurants, whilst expensive when compared to local prices, was excellent in all the restaurants we tried. Both Ikan Ikan and Hava were our equal favourites. Another “pinch me” moment was seeing the Dusky Leaf Monkeys on our terrace, having nature so close, was an amazing experience. The resort is set out such that it never feels busy and every area has privacy in mind, even the family pool is made up of smaller pools which means there’s always a quieter space to relax or swim. This was the first time we’ve stayed in a Four Seasons property and once we’ve paid the bills for this holiday, we would certainly go back here, or find an equally luxurious property in their collection. Thank you so much for a wonderful few days.

Breathtaking beaches and lush rainforest are the backdrops to this spectacular property. There’s wildlife a-plenty to be spotted, much of it from the comfort of the very large and spacious villa rooms. We visited as a family of four (2 boys ages 7 & 11) and found the resort to be ideal for kids. Staff were friendly & helpful. Food choices were varied and of excellent quality. We particularly enjoyed the peace & quiet of this property (never felt busy and there were always sunbeds etc). The well-equipped gym with helpful fitness centre staff was an excellent bonus. Our standard room was enormous with a generous sofa bed for the kids and the largest tub I’ve ever seen! Housekeeping replenished filtered water, coffee and treats frequently and we were very happy with the standards upheld at the resort. My husband celebrated his birthday during our stay and was treated to lots of nice surprises. A visit from a family of monkeys at the end of our week was the icing on the cake! Terima kasih!

We have stayed in several Four Seasons resorts and they are all different save for the quality and the service - which is always excellent. I am pleased to say that the Langkawi resort did not disappoint. The staff were all wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us. Special mention to the Rhu Bar and Nabila and Ray who looked after us really well - and Ray makes great Martinis and Margaritas! The WhatsApp system for contacting the communications team was superb and a big shout out to the Comms/ConciergeTeams who responded quickly and efficiently to all our requests. We had one of the newly renovated beach side villas and we could not fault it - it was beautiful with a view that you would never tire of! I have read on a review that the beach was “dirty”. This was not our experience. It is fair to say that rubbish washed up on the beach if it was stormy (which can hardly be blamed on the resort), but staff were up and down the beach during the day to make sure any rubbish was swiftly picked up. The in Villa dining was great. Again I have seen a review that the food was never cleared. Again, not our experience - the guys who brought the food down suggested they come back in an hour or so to clear and they always did so. We went on a couple of hotel organised boat trips - the mangrove safari with Amy and the island trip with Iqbal. Both were fabulous and I would highly recommend them. Finally many thanks to the tireless buggy drivers who were brilliant !

It was our first family Four Seasons Hotel stay (3 adults - two rooms).. and it was take breathing! Since the very first time, the check-in, when we had the opportunity to meet the GM Ivan Giles, who proved to be an excellent leader, implementing an interesting leadership model. We met other Managers at the cocktail, where we had the chance to exchange experiences and views of hotels, staff training...etc, with them and with a special member of the staff, Sarah Radford, Senior Director of Sales, who happened to be visiting. Taking the three (3) main hotel blocks, for deep analysis: Property, Services and the most important ..."Staff Attitude". I would point, first time for me, in many years: 10-10-10 The rooms are Asian Luxury style,; magnificent, amplious, very well equipped, maintained, and served. Wifi highspeed in the whole resort, and perfect in rooms. The room teams are very well trained, discreet, and efficient. One very important point for checking: the room should look like "the first day"... actually, the rate doesn't change because amenities are not renewed, or towels are not placed, or the bed is not properly arranged... so... I can assure you, in this hotel, all days your room is going to look "like the very first day". (Not frequent, even in 5* hotels). Managers Qlinto and Rebecca do a very good job!! Restaurants and dining facilities are at the edge of Excellence, with Executive Chef, Jude Fernando leading an amazing team of Chefs and Cooks. Besides, the products are of the highest quality... nothing is left to the chance... The swpools (family and adults-only) are good, enough capacity (although sometimes some guests behave as being in their court...) all is quietness and well attended by the staff (Asif and Luqman) ... all are so kind and professional that make it difficult to not spend some time there (with them). Restaurants are of quite different types: Malay, Indian and International. We tried the three and had magnificent dinners... with overwhelming service and choices. Good list of wines and various drinks. It took our attention the Indian and Malay ones... although, at the international one, we enjoyed a fantastic Australian meet, Angus... rightly cooked... "au point". I cannot finish my comment without mentioning the "enormous and breathtaking Beach"... with white sand, clean and of 1.8 km long, from one corner to the other... unique!!!... palm trees, wide space...almost virgen looking... Amazing! Besides all mentioned, the property is located in the Natural park... so, I firmly suggest you to go for a Mangroves Boat Tour, and...if you have the luck to be with Annuar, the guide, and Own...captain... you will have a fun and very informative tour more than assure! So, very extend comment, because my experience in the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi deserves it... Many good things to say as personal gratitude and appreciation. Thank you very much, in particular to GM Ivan, who shows how a modern leader addresses his team... to all the Staff that make this hotel go over many others in Excellence!! Congratulations!!

There’s something about the Four Seasons Langkawi that just gets under your skin in the best possible way. We’ve done a few resorts over the years—some overhyped, some underwhelming—but this place sits quietly in its own league. It’s not shouting luxury at you, it just is. From the first few minutes, it felt like we’d landed somewhere properly special. The hotel blends into the greenery without trying too hard. Everything’s immaculate but not sterile. The beach… white sand, perfect water, barely anyone around. But where the place really earns its stars is the people. Every single day, big smiles, relaxed chats and nothing too much trouble. The staff are all so friendly and crucially, it never felt forced. Some hotels try too hard and it gets awkward. Here, it felt like everyone genuinely loved working there. Special mention to Ivan the GM and Muhammad running the show—they’ve clearly got the balance right. It’s calm, smooth, and super friendly. Food across the board was amazing. We loved all the restaurants on site and what really won us over was how brilliant the staff were with our kids. Always ready with a smile or a quick hello. It meant we could all just relax without feeling self-conscious about a bit of kid noise or mess. Speaking of the kids—they lived in the kids club, which is a fantastic place (ours are 5 and 8). Honestly, we had to drag them out most days. Which, as a parent, is pure gold. It meant we got a good couple of quiet pool hours here and there, just sitting with a book and not having to think about anything. By the end of the trip, we weren’t ready to leave. And that doesn’t always happen. We’re already lining up dates to come back after Christmas. It’s that kind of place—not flashy or overhyped, laid-back paradise, and memorable in all the right ways
