The Andaman

Surrounded by the natural beauty of an ancient rainforest, The Andaman on Malaysia’s Langkawi Island is a pocket of peace and tranquillity overlooking the pristine water and white sandy beach of Datai Bay.

One unforgettable thing about The Andaman is the fact that nature is so close at hand. Step out of your room and you can see monkeys, hornbills and different types of birds and wildlife and, around the hotel, you can watch monitor lizards plodding across your path or sea otters splashing in the bay. The evening flight performances by flying squirrels and Colugos are a special attraction.

The Andaman offers a special Celebrations package for newly-weds, honeymoons or anniversaries which spins romance from the resort’s lush rainforest setting. The celebration includes a wide range of special menus, decorations, a wedding arch, a cake-cutting ceremony, special room amenities and a dinner arrangement.
