10 Things to Do on your Honeymoon at The Danna Langkawi

1. Be surrounded by stunning views of nature

Built on the edge of a marina and backed against cascading hills of lush rainforest, The Danna Langkawi overlooks calm seas and blue skies. Need I say more? The description alone had us hopping on a plane. Upon arriving at the airport, we got whisked away in a private car and presented with cool towels to freshen up with – how refreshing! A quick 15-minute drive later (11km away), we arrived at the beautiful hotel.

The Danna Langkawi is located on Telega Harbour along the Kok Beach (Pantai Kok), constructed to resemble a Mediterranean-style harbour town of the French Riviera. The nearby surroundings of The Danna Langkawi present many gems – Perdana Quay (north side of the harbour), which boasts a number of restaurants, bistros and art stores and Petronas Quay (south side) host souvenir stores, fast food restaurants and bakeries. If you are looking to further your explorations, the jetty to Koh Lipe (a Thailand island) is located within the Petronas Quay, so extending your honeymoon can be super convenient.

2. Feel welcomed the very moment you enter

Sometimes visiting a foreign land fills you with an apprehensive feeling of not knowing what to expect. Hence, we are very appreciative when the resort staff is friendly and welcoming. At The Danna Langkawi, our arrival was met with exceptional service. Upon entering their main hall, we were welcomed with smiles, drinks and even a back massage!

It’s the small things that are done well that really makes you remember a place fondly. Our arrival at The Danna Langkawi was simply unforgettable. We thank them for making us feel special.

3. Retreat to your fine chambers every night

I find the most exciting part of visiting a new resort is checking out the accommodations. From the very moment we entered our room at The Danna Langkawi, we were blown off our feet. The Viceroy Room (65m²) gazed out into a panoramic view of the bay and the hotel’s large infinity pool, thanks to the full-length windows. The private balcony would soon be my favourite place to hang out. The room also featured a spacious walk-in wardrobe that leads into a roomy bathroom made complete with two sinks and a rain shower. With a pillow menu to complete the luxe experience, at that very moment, our vacation felt perfect.

If you love sunbathing, we suggest for you to stay in the Grand Viceroy (65 – 75m²). Located on the highest floor, it comes with a large private terrace that is furnished with sun-loungers. It overlooks breathtaking views of the bay and ocean, right from your bathtub. Take a virtual tour here.

The Danna Langkawi has 5 categories of rooms and 3 categories of suites for you to choose from. See their rooms here. Each and every room is exquisitely designed. The style simulates modern luxury, yet not forgoing traditional touches in its furnishings. I absolutely loved the charming wooden four-poster bed frame, made complete with plush bedding that gave me restful sleep for the 3 days we were there.

The Danna Langkawi is also expanding their room categories to offer villas, perfect for intimate celebrations like engagement parties! Check out the artist impressions here.

4. Soak up the sunshine at the biggest infinity pool in Langkawi

The Danna Langkawi houses the biggest infinity pool (51.2 x 15m) in Langkawi. It is absolutely massive and even on a busy day, you might feel that you are one of the only few people swimming. The pool has different sections of shallow (0.7m) and deeper (1.35m) waters, and it is also accented with whirlpool streams and jacuzzi jets! Taking a dip here while looking out into the beach is one of the activities you must-do when at this resort.

Plop yourself down on one of the sunloungers with a book or cocktail in your hand, and soak up the sun in ultimate relaxation. Also, there is no need to worry that the poolside gets crowded with kids, for there is a kids club where most hang out while their parents are winding down here by the pool. For fitness enthusiasts, there is a gym located on the 5th floor for your use. Your workout will be pleasantly accompanied with views of the marina and lush greenery. View the virtual tour here.

5. Relax on your own private beach

Though it may be difficult to walk past the pool without being tempted to dive right in, past the pool lies a beautiful private beach that resembles paradise. This is a perfect spot to view the glowing sunset. Enclosed by the marina and mountains, the soft powdery sand beach is a perfect spot for more sunbathing and relaxing. Hammocks are also available for your use. Anytime when you feel thirsty, let the bar staff know and they will bring you a refreshing drink or two.

6. Get massaged right by the marina waterfront at The Danna Spa

No trip to The Danna Langkawi is complete without a visit to The Danna Spa. Pure bliss awaits you here as you get massaged right by spectacular views of the marina waterfront.

With a wide range of treatments offered ranging from body wraps to facials, massages, and scrubs, we suggest for you to try the 3.5 hours couple spa treatment for ultimate indulgence.

7. Indulge in opulent dining at The Planter’s

The Planter’s Restaurant is one of the finest restaurants in Langkawi. Offering guests gourmet delights amid opulent furnishings and a fine aroma that will tantalize your taste buds. Located on the ground floor, this fine restaurant overlooks the infinity swimming pool and the white sand beach. Opt for an al-fresco seating for the outdoor breeze, or dine in indoor air-condition comforts.
