It’s been ten years of waiting and at long last, the Jewel of Kedah – also known as Langkawi – has been revived with the opening of The St. Regis Langkawi. A joint venture between Rajawali Group and the Government of Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance, The St. Regis Langkawi stands proud as the very first St. Regis in the country.
With The St. Regis Langkawi, it’s a case of rainforest meets riviera, where this natural paradise is fringed by a 600-meter white sand beach overlooking emerald green waters of a 100,000-square meter swimmable lagoon. On top of the picturesque view of the Andaman Sea, the interiors by G.A Design and architecture by Gensler channel a classic yet contemporary feel throughout the corridors.
Made for the islander at heart, the dream-like atmosphere is a unique blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, most vividly seen in the resort’s mansion house that cleverly infuses European and Middle Eastern influences with subtle hues of soft blue and beige. Beyond, the stunning landscape of Islamic arches and mashrabiya-inspired screening beckons. These are further fringed by date palms, allamanda and bougainvillea plants that make up a heavenly oasis.
Conveniently located within a 30-minute drive from the Langkawi International Airport, The St. Regis Langkawi is the first all-suite luxury resort in the 99-island archipelago. Guests will have the option of enjoying one of four private overwater villas as well as 85 distinctly designed suites that offer unobstructed views of the sea from clean, spacious terraces.
