The Datai Langkawi[1] is a resort in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia.[2][3] The resort overlooks the Datai Bay[4] on one side and a rain forest on the other. The Datai Langkawi opened in October 1993.
Management
When it opened, The Datai Langkawi was managed by General Hotel Management (GHM), a hotel management company based in Singapore. This resort was the first project of GHM which subsequently came under the management of Destination Resorts & Hotels Sdn. Bhd[5] on 28 July 2011. The Datai Langkawi is currently managed by Datai Hotels and Resorts Sdn Bhd, a company incorporated to manage and operate hospitality properties in Malaysia and beyond.
Refurbishment
The Datai Langkawi temporarily closed its doors on 4 September 2017 to embark on an extensive US$60 million[6] renovation project.[7] The Datai Langkawi appointed Didier Lefort to lead this project, the designer who worked with Kerry Hill on the original construction of the property.[8] In September 2018, The Datai Langkawi was reopened initially with a soft launch period.[9]
