Exquisite New Beach Villas At The Danna Langkawi

The Danna is a traditional Malay beachfront resort in gorgeous Langkawi island. The resort has been here for a long time while ten villas were completed in 2018. We went to visit Danna to discover their villa accommodation and were not disappointed. Without exaggeration, these are the most beautiful, spacious and luxurious beachfront villas in Langkawi.

Arrival

Langkawi isn’t a large island so everything is close. Airport is only 20 min away and The Danna driver will be waiting for you at ‘arrivals’ with your name sign. Once you arrive at the resort you’ll be welcomed with a traditional fruit drink and a massage. Yes, that’s true – a massage therapist comes to greet every guest with a shoulder message, to set the mood for a relaxing holiday ahead.

Villas

These stunning villas will impress even the fussiest of guests. They are brand new, designed with ultimate luxury in mind and no expense has been spared on exquisite furniture and finishes. 490 square meters of beautiful living space, pool and gardens are yours for the stay.

Villa layout allows for seamless indoor and outdoor living and every room, whether it is bedroom, bathroom or living room, boasts ample space, floor to ceiling windows and ocean views.

Bedroom has a plush king size bed, oversized flat screen TV, study desk and access to the garden. En-suite features double vanities, shower and bath – all with a view onto green gardens.

Living room has a comfortable sofa setting, another flat screen TV with a selection of complimentary movies, coffee machine, various teas and snacks included in the rate and a complimentary mini bar. Living room opens up to the pool and becomes an extension of the outdoor living space.

Sparkling blue pool with outdoor cabana and deck chairs will have you relaxing in no time. And for those who prefer to feel the sand under their feet and have their toes in the sea, step out of your villa and you find yourself at the beach.

All villas come with butler service. Anything you desire is just a phone call away – afternoon tea delivered to the villa, romantic poolside dinner set up just for you and your loved one, complimentary laundry service, restaurant reservations, excursions.

The villas are perfect for families and couples looking for the ultimate luxury. After we checked in we didn’t want to leave the villa and even asked to have our meals served in the villa to truly enjoy our villa-living. Danna Villas will be your home away from home.

Hotel Facilities

The Danna boasts the largest infinity swimming pool on the island, spa, small gym and a private each in font of the hotel. The beach isn’t the best on the island – at least during our visit the water was brown and not very inviting for swimming. So the resort is best suited for those travellers who prefer pool to the beach.

The Danna Spa therapists are wonderful and I had a very relaxing treatment during the stay. It is well priced as well, so I would highly recommend getting a couple of massages while you are here on holiday.

Gym is very small and isn’t equipped to the latest standard, so going for a run outside might be a better option.

Dining

Villas guests can choose to have their meals in the villa or in the restaurants. We tried both ways for breakfast and prefer the restaurant version as there is more choice and hot meals arrive quicker. Ask the chef to make you fresh roti bread to start the day like a local. It’s a crunchy on the inside, soft on the outside, deep fried local bread, a little similar to our pancakes, that can be enjoyed sweet or savory.

For lunch all day café Straits & Co serves traditional Malay dishes in a relaxed atmosphere and they curries are incredible.

For dinner there are a couple of choices – Italian Terrace and international Planter’s.

Planter’s often put on a themed buffet night with live entertainment and dancing. It is a fun night out in a gorgeous poolside setting.

If you are staying in The Danna for a long time and would like to try something else, Ritz Carlton is only a few minutes away and welcomes outside guests for dinner. Your concierge could arrange a booking.

 The Lux Traveller Loves

  • Exquisite 490 sq meters beachfront villas – absolute beachfront luxury – best in Langkawi.
  • Friendly and welcoming service.
  • Good dining options and incredible local dishes at Straits & Co

Splitting Hairs

Beach lovers need to know that beach at Danna isn’t great. If you are coming to the island for the beach you’ll need to travel to the Andaman or Tanjung Rhu for a pretty beach with clean water. Both hotels welcome visitors in low season if you have lunch there.

All In All

We had a fantastic time at The Danna villas and look forward to coming back! Villas are so beautiful that we didn’t leave ours for a few days – enjoyed the setting, the space, private pool and family times together.
