On the mystical island of Langkawi amidst a 50 million year-old virgin tropical rainforest you'll find the Small Luxury Hotel The Andaman with the majestic Mat-Cincang mountain range as its backdrop, overlooking the deep blue Andaman Sea.
Hotel The Andaman, Jalan Teluk Datai, MY-07000 Langkawi, Kedah Darul Aman / Malaysia
Legend has it that the Langkawi islands off the north-west coast of Malaysia, were once cursed by the princess Mahsuri, wrongly accused of adultery by her jealous mother-in-law. That curse must long ago have been lifted, for the islands now make the most beguiling of settings for what has been voted Malaysia's best 5-star resort hotel for service excellence. Centuries old trees, many with huge buttress roots and jungle creepers envelope the resort creating a haven far from the bustle of city life. The Andaman overlooks the turquoise waters of Datai Bay, ringed by an ancient rain forest. Many are happy to stay cocooned in luxury at the hotel, but the adventurous might be tempted to explore: a guided nature walk into the rain forest, maybe, (although the resort's has its own family of animals) , jungle-trekking, a day's island-hopping by boat, or a picnic at a nearby island. The really energetic might try a round of golf or the watersports offered on the pristine white-sand beach. A range of dining options includes the authentically Malay Gulai House.
