Anyone familiar with Bill Bensley's handwriting will recognize from the entrance that the architect and interior designer had a creative hand in this place. I am standing in front of a large water basin surrounded by a high wall painted a bright azure blue. An antique wooden boat bobs on it. The blue also appears in various shades on pillars and chairs or towels and parasols. Otherwise, it shines tropical green, as the resort sinks between palm trees, frangipanis and rainforest plants. The architecture is reminiscent of Thai luxury resorts on the one hand, with Moorish elements mixed in on the other. The Four Seasons Langkawi was the second luxury resort on the island after the Datai, so it has been in existence for around 25 years. You can hardly tell by looking at it. In my villa, I like the high ceiling and the floor-to-ceiling windows. They provide plenty of light and air. The Studio Beach Villas with pool are fantastic, while the Imperial Beach Villa is huge with five bedrooms on an area of almost 5,000 m².

All the houses are spread loosely across the estate, so that privacy is guaranteed in each one.
As in every Four Seasons, the cuisine leaves nothing to be desired. For a beach lunch, the Kelepa Grill transforms into a fine dining restaurant in the evening with seafood and meat from the Josper Grill. The Rhu Bar is the perfect place for a sunset cocktail. If you want to enjoy Malaysian specialties, take a seat at "Ikan Ikan". Jet skis are not really my thing, but the guided jet ski tour through the southern archipelago is really fun. The kayak excursions and bike tours on offer are much more environmentally friendly. For early risers, there are also walks with nature experts. After all, the resort is a habitat for 46 bird species.
