Langkawi Trip - Datai Bay (The Datai & Andaman)
As I continue to explore all the corners of Langkawi island, this has brought me to Datai Bay which is located at the very north-western tip of the island. The journey to this area takes about 1 hour from Pantai Cenang and as you get closer to the destination, the roads start to narrow and become more and more curvy. Since it is quite close to Thailand at this point, you may even get reception from Thailand and the local mobile operators will start sending SMS to your phone to notify you of Malaysia's embassy number lol.
Since it is quite hard to get here and this place is far from the tourist attractions, this place remains exclusive to the rich and those who desire absolute privacy in their holiday get away.There are only 2 resorts here if I'm not mistaken, The Datai and Andaman.
Let's start off with The Datai. According to some notice board in their resort, they are the best smallest resort in Malaysia. And this is on a world ranking basis mind you.
Feeling a disappointed since we can't see much, we moved on to Andaman which was about 500 metres before The Datai. I was quite determined to visit the beaches at Teluk Datai.
Since this place is much larger than The Datai, it was easier to sneak down stairs and head to their beach. =P
And finally, we reached the beach. The water quality and sand here is comparable to that of Pantai Cenang, but with much less people to disturb and stare at you while you laze around the sun.
Wondering whether I will get any free stay for promoting all these resorts. Fingers crossed.
p/s: There is actually a public beach before The Datai & Andaman but i only noticed it on my way out.

Due to its exclusivity and small lobby area, it is quite hard to move around without attracting any attention. The staffs here are also pretty strict on their privacy policy. If you are not the guest kindly remain ONLY in the lobby or go away.

The pathway leading to the beach was decorated with dead corals. Quite an unusual way I must say.

Chairs for you to just lay back and relax.
