Tucked away within the Unesco World Geopark lies the Four Seasons Langkawi, an award-winning Malaysian beach resort designed to restore health and harmony
The first image that comes to mind when you hear of Four Seasons Resort Langkawi are mile-long sweeps of pristine coastline, lush rainforest and whispering coconut palms along the Andaman sea. At each turn, the island offers a rejuvenating escape from the congested city life to uplift and heal your inner self. There’s no honking horns, no constant need to check your watch and no work piles stacking up on your desk. It’s quiet, relaxing and peaceful.
Located on Malaysia’s northwest coast, Langkawi is a captivating tropical paradise enveloped by a natural wonderland, inclusive of rock formations, mountainous rainforests, desert islands and the Unesco World Geopark. By combining the very best in a luxury resort, and a coveted beachfront setting, the private beach beckons active pursuits both by land and sea.
Situated on a 48-acre property, the resort strikes a contemporary design that incorporates the elements of nature and modernity. Crafted under the careful hands of cutting-edge designer Bill Bensley, who employed a colour scheme of earthy tones with a palette of bold and vibrant blues that accentuates the backdrop of beaches, rainforest and cliffs, the concept was to create a vibrant yet tranquil setting to explore the botanical abundance of the island, and the harmonising elemental energies of yoga and meditation.
Arriving at this secluded oasis, a Malay style welcome pavilion positioned at the heart of the frangipani-lined pond greets guests as they enter, which is furnished with an antique boat. From there, guests can make their way to their room, a Malay-style pavilion that reflects the same theme of Bensley’s modern eclectic design. The airy rooms feature varying shades of blue, bespoke artworks, revived teak floors and antique mirror inlays, while providing guests with a fresh and stylish sanctuary.
