The jungle is so dense here that you can lose sight of the resort from inside the resort, which tells you most of what you need to know about the Datai. This luxury beach resort on Langkawi sits on the Andaman Sea, a short walk uphill from a white-sand beach into untouched rainforest. Rooms in the main building reach above the canopy for sea views; outlying villas go deeper into the trees. Monkeys and lemurs occasionally patrol the poolside. It holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.
Two honors, in evidence:
