The unique location of this property sets it apart. You really feel like you are immersed in the rainforest, with a front row seat to the lives of the animals that dwell in it. The service and care we received from all the staff at the retreat during our stay was exceptional. The dining was excellent and the views from the Rimba restaurant at sunset completely unforgettable. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves nature and is seeking peace and tranquility.

Over the last 12 mths, and 6 weeks abroad (covering 7 countries, and 18 hotels), It is our pleasure to say that we really enjoyed our stay here! The staff celebrated my birthday unexpectedly, the staff were continually/always asking to see if we needed anything, or just a general chat.. Very warm & welcoming.. Always felt nothing was a burden and it seriously felt sincere! Couldn't recommend enough.. If you visit Langkawi, please stay here, you won't be disappointed!!
