Southeast Asia Building - March-April 2018

glistening Andaman Sea offering striking
views from sunrise to sunset. From the
blend of Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine
in Langkawi Kitchen, to western favorites
in the Beach Grill, and Chinese seafood in
Hai Yan, there are options to delight the
palates of all.
The resort has also curated locally-
inspired activities for children as part of
its Ritz Kids programme, while families
can get creative by painting the wings
of a mystical Malay kite, take part in the
Langkawi Treasure Hunt to become pirates
and find the hidden chest on the beach,
or embark on the Nature Discovery tour

to collect nature’s treasure with a special

photo frame to take home.

Onsite facilities allow health and

fitness fanatics to enjoy a range of active

pursuits, including an outdoor tennis court,

a fully-equipped gym and an infinity pool,

while indoor and outdoor yoga offers 180°

views of the rainforest and classes led

by qualified instructors. Those looking

to explore the area can try deep sea

fishing or a sailing adventure through the

archipelago of islands, and the on-site

private cove provides direct access to the

island’s famed diving sites.

Spa rituals at The Ritz-Carlton Spa,

Langkawi have been created to restore

equilibrium within body, mind and soul

with an infusion of traditional local

elements. Spa Rituals have been inspired

by the indigenous healing and beauty

ceremonies practiced by local shamans on

the Island for thousands of years. The spa

is home to five cocoon-shaped pavilions

which float above the sea and have been

designed to resemble Malay Bubus or

the intricately woven fish traps that have

used by local fishermen for centuries.

Connected by over-water walkways,

each pavilion is surrounded by a circular

platform with breathtaking ocean views.
