Situated on a stunning beachfront in Langkawi, Malaysia, The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa is a family-friendly property that falls under the Premium category within the Marriott International stable. Based on Gaya Travel team members’ experience with The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa, we associate the brand with the idea that everything is in place, in order, balanced, spot-on, efficient, and sustaining.
Being not just another resort, The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa goes out of its way to become an exemplary wellness retreat where guests go to reflect, unwind, restore, and recharge so that they can find back their balance, in keeping with the Westin brand promise, which is “to ensure that guests leave feeling better than when they arrived”. Consequentially, Westin tends to attract travellers who are discerning and affluent, constantly clamouring for getaways that rejuvenate and revitalise their minds, body and soul. Since The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa
is only a few minutes’ drive away from the duty-free outlets and Kuah jetty, this awardwinning five-star resort primarily takes inspiration from Langkawi’s natural beauty and balances it with a measured degree of plushness. The Gaya Travel team lauds the fact that the entire property is judiciously constructed, neither too sprawled out nor too compact or dense. Case in point: even though our villa is among the furthest structures from the lobby and adjacent to Heavenly Spa, it only takes around 10 minutes of a hardly exertive saunter along the beach to get there from one of the resort’s dining outlets called Tide.
