“Our Geo Spa is about elemental balance,
with special attention placed on natural
energies drawn from the surrounding
550-million-year old Geopark,” said David
Macklin, general manager of Four Seasons
Resort Langkawi. “A healthy balance must
be maintained to survive and this can be
done by seeking balance with nature.”
Strategically placed within the Geopark,
the Four Seasons Resort is teeming with the
richness of archaeology, ecology and cultural
value. Dubbed by Unesco as a single, unifi ed
geographical area that holds geological
heritage in history and society, the Geopark
contributes to the resort’s sustainability
efforts by supporting the local economy. This
conservation area not only protects it, but
also instils a sense of pride for the locals to
strengthen their identifi cation with the area.
Plus the creation of local enterprises and
job opportunities stimulate new sources of
revenue for sustainable geotourism.
Flanked by greenery and emerald waters,
the natural beauty of the island is as dramatic
as it is serene. Leaving this paradise is hard,
but the ability to restore and combine the
elemental balance of nature and a person’s
inner strength continues to welcome
returning guests each season for the most
captivating, and relaxing experiences found
only at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi.
