A consistent recipient of some of the industry’s most esteemed accolades — including the World Luxury Hotel Awards, Travel+ Leisure Luxury Awards, Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards, LUXE Global Travel Awards, and most recently, Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Beachfront Villas in Malaysia — The Danna Langkawi continues to redefine world-class hospitality with its refined accommodations, thoughtful service, and unforgettable guest experiences.

In response to evolving guest expectations, the resort has undertaken an extensive refurbishment of its rooms and suites. These redesigned spaces now feature soft neutral palettes, modern furnishings, and a sense of understated elegance. Each room is outfitted with elevated comforts, including bespoke Jo Loves by Jo Malone CBE bath amenities and premium TWG teas, creating a soothing, sensory-rich environment. With 12 distinctive room categories — ranging from the generous 60 sqm Merchant Room to the grand 600 sqm Royal Imperial Suite — the resort caters to couples, families, and luxury-seeking travellers alike.

For guests desiring exceptional privacy, The Danna Langkawi offers 10 ultra-luxurious private beach villas. Spread across 490 sqm to 1,080 sqm, these one- and two-bedroom villas offer direct access to the beach, each complete with a private infinity pool, sun loungers, an in-villa spa treatment area, expansive living and dining spaces, and round-the-clock villa host service. Drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings, each villa is designed with calming water features and lush green accents. A highlight of the refreshed villa experience is the inclusion of Jo Loves by Jo Malone CBE bath amenities — presented in eco-conscious oversized dispensers — elevating both the guest experience and the resort’s sustainability efforts.

Beyond its serene accommodations, The Danna Langkawi offers thoughtfully curated lifestyle experiences that highlight the island’s breathtaking landscapes and cultural richness. Guests can begin their day with guided nature walks through lush tropical surrounds or beachfront yoga at sunrise. For culinary explorers, interactive cooking classes with the resort’s executive chef provide a hands-on introduction to Malaysian flavours — an engaging experience that blends tradition with creativity. A diverse range of leisure activities, from exhilarating water sports and personalised spa rituals to rejuvenating wellness journeys, ensures every guest finds their own rhythm of relaxation or renewal.

Dining at The Danna Langkawi is a celebration of global refinement and local traditions. Planter’s, the resort’s refined dining restaurant, overlooks the three-tiered infinity pool and the Andaman Sea, offering an inviting setting for both breakfast and dinner. Guests can enjoy an array of European-inspired cuisine and local delicacies, thoughtfully prepared using the finest ingredients. With its open kitchen concept, Planter’s engages the senses — inviting guests to savour the sights, sounds, and aromas of a truly immersive dining experience.

Come midday and evening, Terrace, the resort’s signature Italian restaurant, invites diners to experience the soulful flavours of Italy. From handcrafted pastas to wood-fired pizzas and a curated wine selection, every dish is a tribute to authentic Italian cuisine. Located beside the pool, its stylish indoor and alfresco seating provides a relaxed yet refined setting — ideal for lingering lunches or romantic dinners under the stars.

For a deeper connection to Malaysia’s culinary heritage, Straits & Co offers a taste of authentic Peranakan cuisine. The menu showcases treasured Nyonya recipes passed down through generations, with dishes like Itek Tim, Ayam Pongteh and Gulai Kapitan reflecting the harmonious blend of Chinese and Malay influences — all served in a charming colonial-inspired setting. As evening falls, the Verandah Lounge becomes the resort’s social heart — where guests can unwind with signature cocktails, premium wines, and ambient live music. With its sophisticated yet welcoming ambience, it’s the perfect place to reflect on the day’s adventures and soak in the understated luxury of island life.

A proud advocate for responsible hospitality, The Danna Langkawi continues to drive its #DannaCare initiative — championing environmental stewardship alongside premium service. The resort operates an on-site water bottling plant, supplying still water in reusable glass bottles across all rooms. Combined with sustainable bath amenities and the elimination of single-use plastics, The Danna is redefining what it means to deliver luxury in harmony with nature.

In line with this ethos, the resort is excited to announce the upcoming launch of its latest initiative: Sustainability Meets Sophistication. In collaboration with SURI Lifestyle, a Malaysian social enterprise that empowers underprivileged and B40 mothers with sewing skills and financial independence, this initiative gives new life to discarded bed linens and curtains. These upcycled materials are transformed into beautifully handcrafted pouches, distributed to guests as part of the resort’s sustainability journey. Each pouch is a testament to craftsmanship, conservation, and community impact, reducing textile waste while supporting local women through meaningful employment in Langkawi.

Guests who book directly via the resort’s official website enjoy exclusive privileges, including complimentary return airport transfers, daily resort credits for dining and spa, priority late check-out, and child-friendly perks for families with young travellers. These thoughtful inclusions are crafted to deliver exceptional value and a seamless guest journey from arrival to farewell. As The Danna Langkawi enters a new chapter in its legacy of excellence, it remains a destination where every detail is designed to inspire, indulge, and connect guests with the magic of Langkawi.
