The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi

Our stay at Villa Kenari and Mutiara was amazing! Going away with the whole family to enjoy the sun in an area with fantastic nature and wildlife was truly special. Sara and Shuk helped us incredibly well with everything and where wonderful to have around. All the staff are very friendly and makes sure you are well taken care of. Thanks to everyone, and hopefully until next time!

We had an amazing stay at The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi! Sara, our head butler, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. She was incredible with the children so kind, patient, and thoughtful which made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable for the entire family. The rest of the team, including Shuk, were also wonderful and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. Thanks to Sara and the team, our time in Langkawi was truly special. A huge thank you to Sara for making our stay so memorable and for caring so much for the children and us!

The facilities were amazing and so much incredible wildlife. We got engaged in Langkawi and the staff went above and beyond to make up our room and give us free cocktails at the beach grill as a celebration. We didn’t leave the resort once in 6 days and never felt like we needed to! Great options to swim in the main pool, the beach and the adults pool. Food options were great and sunset drinks at horizon unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a gorgeous resort built and integrated within a rainforest (said to be 10 million years old). All the rooms/suites are contained within 10 separate low rise buildings spread throughout the resort rather than concentrated into a single main building. And there are around 25 standalone villas. The effect is quite spectacular: it feels like living in a traditional Malay rural kampong (village) albeit a very luxurious one. Being in the rainforest, there is some wildlife: the most common being squirrels, macaques, dusky leaf monkeys, and hornbills. All are generally harmless though - it does mean you have to keep the doors/windows to your accommodation closed at all times to prevent any from getting in. The beach and pools face south-west and the sunsets are jaw-dropping. There are 4 dining venues in the resort combined with 2 bars (one at each pool). Staff and service are outstanding and I'll give special shout outs to: Farhan, Danial, Rizal and Freddie (Beach Grill). Farhan makes the greatest teh tarik and I had several enjoyable conversations with him during my stay. Qistina (Langkawi Kitchen). She manages the waiting staff at the main restaurant and is super sharp and attentive with service. Ling Lee and Shana (Horizon Bar). Ling has a gift for remembering guests' names and their preferences e.g. which sun loungers they like, how spicy they take their food, their favourite drinks/cocktails. An absolute star of the hospitality industry. Given there are relatively few rooms/villas, there are never too many guests throughout the resort, and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility is generally present all over. Definitely worth a visit if you've not been there before and worth a revisit if you have.

This was an exceptional stay in every respect. The staff are incredible and work so hard. A very relaxed and respectful environment. The location is stunning. We will definitely return soon. Thank you so much!
