The Andaman, A Luxury Collection Resort
Langkawi
OVERVIEW
Set between a 10-million-year old rainforest and the tranquil waters of Datai Bay, The Andaman Langkawi is a tropical getaway on the picturesque island of Langkawi. Fringed by an 8,000-year-old coral reef, the resort has created one of the first coral nurseries in south east Asia, with the aim to educate guests about the reef and allowing the chance to plant your very own coral colony; leaving a little piece of you behind on holiday will help to protect the coral reef for decades to come.
Nature lovers will love this unspoilt paradise. The jungle is tantalisingly close so walking amongst the wildlife is a great way to spend a few hours, while the preserved reef is just metres off shore.
Because of its fantastic location, the Andaman is packed with activities, from non-motorised watersports to golf, cycling and immersive tours. To relax into your stay there’s also the Eastern-inspired V Botanical Spa.
