Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

The public facilities are similarly lavish: the pool is about the size of a hockey rink and the massive spa pays homage to Malaysia’s Arabian heritage in its architecture.

Explore the mangroves and rainforests by day and sip cocktails by night. For honeymooners, families, adventure seekers, eco lovers, spa enthusiasts, and those who want to just chill - the appeal is as broad as it gets.

Highlights include the infinity lap pool with its cabanas framed by stone walls (high enough to block out the couples on either side), Moroccan tents set up beachside for private dinners, the excellent, mostly Balinese-trained, staff, and bathrooms you'll want to transport home.
