Ritz-Carlton Langkawi

Fringed by lush rainforests and lapped by the clear-blue Andaman Sea, the Malaysian island of Langkawi has a new addition to its landscape: The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi. The oceanfront resort blends beautifully with its surroundings and was designed to reflect a traditional kampong village with 90 guest rooms and 30 villas, three swimming pools, a locally inspired spa, international restaurants and three meeting and wedding venues. A private cove and beach offer direct access to the island’s famed diving sites.
