The Datai Langkawi has 121 rooms, suites, and villas — 66 in the main Canopy Collection, 55 split across Rainforest and Beach villas, up to the 3,500 m² five-bedroom Datai Estate Villa.
Choose a Beach villa or the Datai Estate Villa at The Datai Langkawi when the Andaman shoreline is the stay; skip a Canopy Deluxe if you need sand rather than rainforest. The property has 121 total accommodations. 66 are rooms and suites in the Canopy Collection, including 35 Canopy Deluxe rooms at 63 square metres. The remaining 55 are villas: seven Rainforest Premium Villas at 123 square metres, larger stilted villas at roughly 175 square metres with a private 10-metre pool, separate Beach villas, and the 3,500-square-metre, five-bedroom Datai Estate Villa.
Overview
Of the property's 121 total units, 66 sit in the main Canopy Collection as rooms and suites, the larger category on property, and 55 are villas split across the Rainforest and Beach collections, meaning just under half the resort is villa accommodation, not the majority some travelers assume. The Canopy Collection's 35 Canopy Deluxe rooms, at 63 square metres each, carry an outdoor balcony overlooking the rainforest. The Rainforest Collection's seven Rainforest Premium Villas, at 123 square metres, are raised on stilts with views of the Anak Datai River; larger stilted villas at roughly 175 square metres add a private 10-metre pool and an extended deck. Beach-facing villas sit on a separate strip, not one contiguous row with the rainforest villas. At the top of the range, the Datai Estate Villa is 3,500 square metres with five bedrooms, one of the largest villas of its kind in Asia.

Booking this
VIAIVE's full Datai Langkawi review covers the 10-million-year-old rainforest setting and the room-versus-villa trade-off. Read it first, since the property splits nearly evenly between the Canopy Collection and the villa collections rather than being an all-villa resort. Use VIAIVE's Datai Langkawi hotel page to verify live rates, and VIAIVE's advisory correspondence to confirm current villa or room availability.
