Accommodation
Flanked by an ancient rainforest and fronted by a dream-like sandy bay on the Andaman Sea, this Ritz-Carlton created oasis of luxury is a family-friendly retreat of special appeal. Opening in October 2017 its sophisticated rooms and suites nestle amidst the exotic vegetation, blending contemporary design with indigenous island touches, while the uber-chic villas offer space and privacy in a rainforest or beachfront setting. Three distinct dining venues offer an irresistible selection of world cuisines, from the Malay-to-Indian creations of the Langkawi Kitchen and the western favourites of the Beach Grill to the Chinese seafood specialities of Hai Yan, served overlooking the ocean. To enjoy further Ritz-Carlton levels of pampering, spend time in the spa with its hammam and locally-inspired revitalising treatments. A large adults-only infinity pool and beachfront pool are complemented by a children’s pool at Ritz Kids; watersports and waterfall hikes can be enjoyed along with go-karting and horse riding. A resident naturalist is on hand to lead nature discovery programmes, geological sites explorations and rainforest meanders. End the day at the Horizon Lounge, out of bounds to children.

Most rain in Kuala Lumpur falls from March to April and from September to November. Borneo experiences sunshine and rain year round, but the heaviest rainfall normally occurs between November and April.
