Introduction to The Andaman
Introduction
The Andaman is unforgettable because nature is so close to hand. Cradled between Machinchang Range and the deep blue Andaman Sea, the resort takes you right into the heart of a 50 million year old virgin tropical rainforest, to the cool shade, unusual wildlife and luxury Malaysian living within. Here, escape from everyday life amidst the shelter of huge buttress roots and jungle twines.
Settling into your room won’t take long. Spacious and beautifully designed, with warm hues, king-size or twin beds and expanses of polished wood, they are immediately inviting. You may prefer one of the seven suites, with separate living and dining areas opening out onto spacious sea view balconies.
Then off to explore the island’s treats! Venture into the depths of the Teluk Datai rainforest, climbing over jungle streams, hills and forest undergrowth. Alternatively, naturalist Dev will reveal the rainforest’s secrets at a gentler pace during a morning or evening walk. You may be lucky enough to see a Dusky Leaf Monkey or Slow Loris - think ball of fur with big eyes! Afterwards, take a refreshing plunge into the free-form pool (fun for the kids), or have a round of golf or tennis at the nearby Datai Bay championship golf course. If you seek relaxation, try Asian spa treatments or enjoy a west coast cruise on board a yacht, stopping at a picturesque bay for picnic lunch. Back on dry land, The Gulai House is a step away from the curving, paradise beach of Datai Bay. Treat your taste buds to authentic Malay and Indian cuisine amid native thatched roof architecture, and complete your Langkawi experience with Udang Karang (lobster in turmeric coconut milk) or local duck curry. You will soon realise why The Andaman has a Service Excellence award for Best 5-Star Resort from Tourism Malaysia.
