The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi

I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi with my parents for a longer visit, and we had such a fantastic time. The resort is beautiful, of course, but what really stood out to us was how well we were looked after the entire stay. We were in Langkawi while my Dad was taking part in the Ironman, and the staff of the hotel were so thoughtful and supportive throughout that busy week. It made everything feel much easier and a lot more enjoyable for all of us. A few people in particular made our trip extra special. Sean and Pete at the pool were always warm and welcoming. Azizul also deserves a huge mention, he went out of his way for us constantly, and his kindness really made a difference. Naim took us on a sunrise kayak that we’ll never forget, and his enthusiasm made the experience even better. Harris at the front office was very pleasant and helpful during our checkout, which we appreciated. All of the restaurants at the resort were delicious, we enjoyed every meal, and it was great having such a variety of good food without ever needing to leave the property. The resort itself is stunning, in the rainforest and at the beach. Our room was spacious, beautiful and had great views of Langkawi. We also loved the spa, which was a perfect place to unwind. Overall, we had such a wonderful stay and we truly hope to visit again soon. Thank you to the whole team at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi.

So. I know you're looking at the eye watering prices and wondering if it's worth it. |YES IT ABSOLUTELY IS. Press that "book now" button. You will be grateful to yourself for it. The personalized service is on another level. |The staff make you feel right at home. Their coordination is insane. |The wait staff will anticipate you want a teaspoon before you ask for it.|The buggy service will be waiting as you're thinking of calling them.|The first night at dinner, I told the beach grill staff that I like sweet drinks. The next morning at breakfast - at a different restaurant mind you - I asked for a mimosa and instead got a Bellini (which is sweeter). That synchronization will blow your mind. I could go on and on. A very special thanks to Anas and our housekeeper Mahendra. You made the stay memorable in unimaginable ways.

One of the Best hotels we have ever stayed. You get to see sandy beach, amazing views and nature with Luxury at one spot. A lot of wild life around. Staff was amazing, very helpful, customer service at excellent level. Rooms were very comfortable with luxury amenities. Food selection was good.

While holidaying in Borneo in October 2025, my friend and I made a side trip to Langkawi and stayed at The Ritz-Carlton. on 14th. Its amazingly lush rainforest resort gorgeously landscaped, its beautiful vanilla sandy beach and importantly its genuinely polite and consistently attentive and accommodating staff had made our short stay highly memorable and pleasurable. Our spacious sea view room was beautifully and luxuriously decorated and furnished with tastefully high end fittings, furniture and modern appliances. We particularly loved its huge and modern bathroom with ever inviting enormous freestanding stone bathtub . The delectable buffet breakfast was awesome with a wide range selection from authentic Malaysian to western dishes. Its local residents i.e. the monkeys were more than happy to join at breakfast! We would highly recommend dining at the Beach Grill restaurant looking out onto the Andaman Sea and sampling their scrumptious seafood platter. The resort is not far from Langkawi popular attractions such as Langkawi Cable Car and Sky Bridge which we were very fortunate to be able to fit in during our short stay. The only negative was the need to be golf buggied from our room for breakfast, the beach and hotel reception to check out due to our room location being far away from the restaurant, the beach and reception. Buggy aside, we will definitely return to this resort instead of the Datai the next time we revisit Langkawi!!

One of the best hotels I have ever been to! Spacious rooms, delightful service - we got a bath drawn for us as a surprise after a long day sightseeing and a complimentary teatime sampler of baked goods each day. The room overlooks the sea so the views were amazing. We also had the pleasure of learning more about sea cucumbers and the local ecology. I would also highly recommend the Spa - please come early if you make an appointment because they have great facilities like a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. In general, the service here is unstinting and generous and I really commend all the staff.

Unfortunately, my experience at this resort was very disappointing. During my stay (September 30, 2025) with my infant baby, I encountered several issues that made my vacation stressful instead of relaxing. Upon check-in, I was given a room that could only be accessed by stairs, which was very difficult with a baby stroller. When asked if I was celebrating any occasion, I mentioned that it was my first trip after giving birth — but this was completely ignored. In every other luxury resort I’ve stayed at, staff have shown genuine care and professionalism by sending a small gift or congratulations. Sadly, this resort showed no attention or sensitivity toward families or new mothers. No baby amenities were provided — not even a crib or basic baby products, which are usually standard in family-friendly resorts. The worst experience happened at the pool area (Villa 20). I was carrying my baby after swimming at the beach and asked where I could rinse him off. Several staff members directed me to the pool shower area, but once I started rinsing him, a staff member suddenly told me it was not allowed. I explained that it was cold and windy, and my baby couldn’t handle it, but he gave me only five minutes. While I was rinsing my baby quickly, another female staff member entered and started speaking loudly and harshly, insisting I leave immediately, even though I had just given birth and was clearly struggling. The male staff then told me I could not have my baby with me at the pool area at all — not even on the lounge chairs. He stood there watching me with no respect for privacy, then removed the pool towels from my chair even though my bag was still there. It was an extremely uncomfortable and humiliating experience. Overall, the resort’s attitude toward families was disappointing and unprofessional. My entire vacation was ruined because of this poor treatment. Additionally, an activity I never attended was added to my final bill, so please double-check your invoices before signing. The only positive part of my stay was the Spa, which was excellent — professional staff and truly memorable moments. I sincerely hope management takes serious action to improve staff training and family care standards.

We had the absolute pleasure of spending our honeymoon at The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi for 5 days, and from the moment we entered the resort until the time we checked out, everything was simply outstanding. The warmth and friendliness of every single staff member truly made our stay memorable. We were delighted to receive an upgrade to a beautiful ocean-facing suite, which was thoughtfully decorated with honeymoon touches and accompanied by a heartfelt handwritten note – such a personal and meaningful gesture that instantly made us feel special. On our first night, we dined at Horizon, where the amazing team surprised us with another handwritten note and a complimentary dessert. This level of attention and genuine care continued throughout our stay. The buggy staff were always so cheerful, friendly, and willing to help at any time, adding to the seamless experience around the resort. One of the highlights of our trip was the spa – simply outstanding. The setting, service, and overall experience left us completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Every detail of our stay was handled with such care and thoughtfulness, and the genuine hospitality of the Ritz-Carlton Langkawi team made our honeymoon unforgettable. We cannot recommend this resort enough and are already looking forward to returning one day. Thank you for making our honeymoon so truly special.

This was our first stay at a Ritz-Carlton, and Langkawi has truly set the bar — we can’t wait to try more Ritz-Carlton hotels in the future. Service: The highlight of our stay was definitely the service. From check-in, we were warmly greeted and everything was explained clearly and thoughtfully. On our second day at Langkawi Kitchen, the staff greeted me, my husband, and our child by name — an amazing touch that shows their attention to detail. At the pool, towels and water were promptly offered without us asking. The Ritz Kids staff were wonderful, and our little one loved spending time with them. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Facilities & Room: The resort is beautifully set in the rainforest. We even spotted dusky leaf monkeys from our balcony and hornbills near Ritz Kids. Our room was spacious, modern, and well maintained. The kids’ club offered a good variety of activities. Dining & Spa: Breakfast at Langkawi Kitchen combined buffet and à la carte, which was both convenient and delicious. We especially enjoyed Beach Grill and Langkawi Kitchen for dinner, while Hai Yan was just okay. The spa, set by the beach, was a highlight — so relaxing to enjoy treatments with the sound of waves in the background. Overall, Ritz-Carlton Langkawi exceeded our expectations, particularly with its exceptional service. A memorable stay that we would highly recommend.

We had the best stay at this place EVER!!!!!!! If you are a fan of resorts please reserve this place for your stay. It's completely serene peaceful and relaxing. We went during holidays for Christmas and it was one of the best experiences I have had. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is convenient and you can reach the place in two wheeler. Very accessible. The resort has fake tigers all over to scare away the monkeys Please must visit

Perfect location for a romantic get-away. The beach was clean and inviting. The adult pool cool and refreshing. The food was excellent and the staff was available at all times. Rooms were large and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. Massage and other services excellent. You will certainly feel like you are in the jungle living in style; they make you feel so comfortable and welcome. Despite a storm that hit while we were there, it was cleaned up within hours. Amazing staff! Highly recommend for a stay in Langkawi.

I sent summer 2019 here with my in laws, beyond our expectations. Service was amazing and super clean. Anything you need you can find within the room- all you need to pack for this trip is clothing! Room was deep cleaned every day throughout our 5 day stay. On multiple occasions we came to our clothes folded that we had forgotten to put in our closet. They go above and beyond and update the local fruit bowl in our rooms daily. I can easily justify the price for our stay. Planning to revisit langkawi ritz Carlton once restrictions lift again!

We had a very pleasant stay at the Ritz Carlton resort in Langkawi. We came in June which is low season for the island, so we pretty much for the place to ourselves. The service is personalized and all the staff are very attentive. I would like to commend Ellen who personally made us feel very welcome. Thank you to Stephanie who made sure all our needs were met for us to have the best stay possible. And to friendly Khimpee at the Horizon bar whom we had a great conversation with while enjoying the sunset.  It was unfortunate that the phone lines were out of service during our stay which made it inconvenient to call a buggy and go from place to place. As well as the air-conditioning in our room malfunctioning middle of the night. However the Ritz Carlton team was always on their toes, ready to resolve the issues quickly.
