Datai Bay

Set in stunning ancient rainforest, The Datai nestles between the 550 million year old Matcingcang mountain and one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Asia.

The Datai is a five star resort hotel that has won dozens of prizes, including being rated number 1 hotel spa in Asia and number 1 hotel in the world by Conde Naste Traveler readers.

Staying at The Datai is an experience never forgotten. You enjoy five star creature comforts and service, but the setting with million year old rainforest just meters away and wildlife almost in touching distance steals the show.

The nearby Datai Golf course is carved out of the jungle with monkeys providing the major obstacle and stunning seaviews a major distraction. Other facilities include a beautiful beach with tropical islands almost in swimming distance, superb eateries, world class spa, water sports, nature walks and mountain biking, bird watching, wild orchids and more.

The Datai was the first true luxury resort hotel in Malaysia and continues to set the standards for five star hotels in the region. It faithfully marries ecological responsibility to luxury tourism, a fact recognized by its 2001 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which praised the way the hotel so successfully integrated with the surrounding rainforest and ecosystem of swamps, streams and wildlife.

Accommodation includes hotel rooms in the main building and villas set in the rainforest and close to the beach. The hotel is an international favorite for weddings and honeymoons.
