Looking for a new weekend getaway destination? Enjoy lush tropical rainforests, white sand beaches, five-star hospitality and fine dining options at St. Regis Langkawi
Singapore is the perfect launch pad for all manner of Southeast Asian excursions. From a quick weekend romp in Bali to a backpacking adventure through Myanmar, we’re never short of travel options. But if you’re after a more luxurious weekend staycay and rather just laze around by the beach, the brand new St. Regis Langkawi is set to raise the bar for positively decadent vacations. We’ll dive right into it and tell you why we’re ecstatic about this new resort.
It’s set amidst lush rainforest and beautiful white sand beaches
Located in the lush greenery of the Langkawi archipelago, guests are treated to stunning views of the Andaman Sea, and can enjoy 600 metres of pure, white sand beaches. If you’re a beach bum, you’ll absolutely love the resort’s 100,000-square metre swimmable salt-water lagoon that integrates seamlessly with the Andaman Sea. Now you’d think this secluded paradise-on-earth must be pretty hard to get to… but guess what! It’s just 30 minutes away from Langkawi International Airport.
The hotel features stunning design elements
Renowned architecture firm, Gensler, designed the hotel with a “classical contemporary aesthetic” that invokes a sense of refined island living. Its interior by G.A. Design fuses European and Middle Eastern influences with a soothing colour palette of blues and beiges. Taking full advantage of lush environs, the hotel effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces so you never ever feel too far from nature. The resort is also the archipelago’s first all-suite luxury resort and offers four luxurious overwater villas as well as 85 suites, distinct in design and featuring local artwork.
You’ll be treated to exquisite dining options
The hotel features six distinct restaurants and bars serving various cuisines. Fancy a bit of Asian-inspired haute cuisine? Park yourself at Kayuputi, an over-water beach house restaurant designed to represent an art collector’s private abode. Or take your taste buds West and indulge in modern French cuisine with Asian and Middle Eastern elements at L’Orangerie, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea and the archipelago’s lush rainforest.
Enjoy bespoke cocktails
It’s classic cocktails and canapés galore at the St. Regis bar. Like the rest of the hotel, the bar’s design incorporates the lush scenery, giving it a rich, inviting atmosphere. If you’re a connoisseur of wine, talk terroir and talento at Decanter, an intimate wine bar featuring a wide variety of rare vintages.
Pamper yourself at the hotel’s luxurious spa
It’s not a luxury staycay without an indulgent spa sesh, is it? Lay back and pamper yourself at St. Regis’ renowned Iridium Spa. Spanning over 800 square metres, you’ll get to choose from a range of specialty massages and well-being treatments, all while immersed in utter tranquility. The spa also boasts a salon, an infinity pool, as well as a well-equipped athletic club.
