Hotel Reviews - Four Season Langkawi

Opened only last year the Four Season's is Malaysia 's most expensive resort. Located on the north-eastern shore of Langkawi , the resort design is inspired by Malaysia 's melting pot history, and the various nationalities that have settled on the island over the years. The beach villas are palatial, with private plunge pools and a bathtub you could fit four in. The resort's highlight is its infinity-edged pool, which is flanked by eight private areas for couples, each separated by stone walls high enough to ensure privacy without obscuring views of the pool and the Andaman Sea beyond. The 'reflecting' pool, overlooked by an 'inspiration' pavilion for yoga, tea and meditation, comes a close second. There are two restaurants including Ikan-Ikan ('fish'), housed in a traditional pavilion on the beach; the Rhu bar, with its double daybeds, is a relaxing place to end an evening. The spa provides Thai and Malay massages, Ayurvedic treatments and private yoga classes, and the in-house naturalist, Idi, offers guided boat tours of the nearby mangrove.
