Whether you are itching for jungle adventures or a poolside holiday, The Danna Langkawi has something for everyone. Nestled in Telaga Harbour Park, this elegant abode is one of the most conveniently located on the island: it’s just 15 minutes away from the airport and busy beach town Pantai Cenang, as well as major attractions such as the Langkawi Sky Bridge and SkyCab.

Join a Danna excursion to explore the mysterious rainforest, discover exotic plants and animals in the UNESCO Global Geopark, or island-hop on jet ski. Alternatively, relax by the powdery white beach, or the three-tiered infinity pool with open-air Jacuzzi and children’s pool perfect for families.

Spa aficionados will be delighted by The Danna Spa’s extensive menu, which caters to all pampering needs. Traditional Malay massage is highly recommended for anyone seeking deep relaxation. And for couples, The Danna Romance Ritual includes a scrub and massage, before an aromatic bath with fruit and sparkling wine or champagne concludes the blissful two hours.

For a culinary adventure, Telaga Harbour Park is home to many popular eateries; but even if you choose to dine in, you’re still in for a treat. Options range from the new Italian restaurant and bar The Terrace and charming cafe Straits & Co. famous for its afternoon tea, to fine dining restaurant The Planter’s and The Verandah, an elegant lounge with live music. For a unique gastronomical experience, don’t miss the Danna BBQ Festival with Malaysian Cultural Dance when it’s on offer.

However you spend the day, you can look forward to returning to the luxurious comfort of the colonial-style guest rooms. Some of the most spacious in Langkawi – the entry-level Merchant rooms span 60 to 65sqm – The Danna’s rooms and suites take on warm hues and sophisticated decor, while floor-to-ceiling glass panels and balcony bring natural light in. Currently the hotel boasts 125 guest rooms, but guests can expect 10 new beach villas with their own spa therapy room and pool by the end of 2017. www.thedanna.com
