Tanjung Rhu Resort

We had a fantastic week at the resort. Weather was favorable for all the activities we planned: mangrove forest cruise, jet ski, ATV, hike to the waterfall, sky bridge and cable car, and cultural experience in the town and surrounding area. We enjoyed the complementary yoga one evening as well. The hotel staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The facilities were very nice, though we spent more time in the sea, rather than pool. The food had a good variety and various restaurants within premises had all the options we needed, from very relaxing pool side bar to a fine dining restaurant (food was excellent).

Slice of paradise We had a luxurious stay at Tanjung Rhu Resort in June. The service throughout our visit was absolutely brilliant. Every staff member we came across was friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We had some great conversations with the team at the ‘Saffron’ Sports and Pizza Bar and the staff in the main restaurant where breakfast is served. They clearly enjoy their work, and that comes through in the way they interact with guests — always professional, but warm and genuine. Our room was spotless, spacious, and even better than we expected. The bath was huge, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. It was cleaned daily, fresh water was provided, and the tea station was restocked without fail. Everything felt fresh and well looked after, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The location is unreal — views of the ocean and islands that stop you in your tracks. The water was warm, clear, and perfect for swimming. We spent a lot of time in and out of the sea, relaxing on our sun lounges in between dips. The beach is kept immaculate by the staff, and the entire resort is extremely well maintained. Even when we walked outside the resort along the peninsula, it was spotless. The people of Langkawi clearly take pride in keeping the island clean. There are two pools at the resort. One afternoon we tried the adults-only pool, swam while looking out at the ocean, and ordered coffee and orange juice to enjoy in the water — a very nice touch. The food exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was excellent with loads of variety. We had eggs cooked to order, crispy hashbrowns, tomato salad, pancakes with maple syrup, Nasi Lemak, pastries, Indian dishes, meats, vegetables, and fruit. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. Lunches on the beach were a highlight — prawn Caesar salad, smoked salmon croissant, squid rings, and plenty of refreshing drinks (definitely try the coconut).

Not everyones idea of a holiday but we like to find tranquility away from people and surrounded by nature but with reasonable accessibility to explore the local culture. South East Asia is a favourite of ours but there are less and less places that are not now touched by sprawling tourism and its noise and concrete pollution. Lankawi is one of the last, easily accessible islands that is preserving its natural habitat while providing for visitors. The South of the Island is busy but the excellent Tanjung Rhu Resort, in the North, sits in the middle of what I consider to be the best beach on the island with the best landscape. Not only that, but the resort is right next to the extensive Kilim Geopark, a Unesco site and one of the best attractions of Langkawi. Even when full, the acreage of the resort means Tanjung Rhu never feels busy and, particularly on the adults only side, is always extremely peaceful. The pools are large and even the family pool is uncrowded as it spills out onto the beach and into the jellyfish free Andaman Sea. The breakfast choice is extensive and good quality and certainly set us up for the day. A choice of restaurants onsite or within a short taxi ride means you will never be tied to the resorts offering although, by choice, we enjoyed the evening room service more as we extended our stay to two weeks. The staff are friendly, respectful and always smiling, not unusual for this part of the world. A special thank you to Noor, one of the management, who looked after us excellently during our stay.

Absolutely Stunning – A Perfect Getaway in Langkawi! 🌴🌊 I can't say enough good things about this resort – it was pure paradise from the moment we arrived. The views were breathtaking, with lush greenery and the shimmering sea stretching out before us. Every corner of the resort offers something picture-perfect. The swimming pool was incredible – crystal clear, spacious, and surrounded by palm trees, making it the ideal place to relax. And the beach? Just steps away, with soft white sand and calm turquoise waters – like something out of a travel magazine! What truly stood out was how immaculately clean and well-maintained everything was. From the rooms to the grounds, the attention to detail was exceptional. It’s clear that the resort takes great pride in its appearance and guest experience. The staff were beyond amazing – every single person we encountered was warm, kind, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel welcome and cared for at every turn. We truly loved every part of our stay. This resort is a slice of heaven in Langkawi, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and be surrounded by beauty and kindness. 💙✨

The hotel is set in a lovely bay. 2 fabulous pools, one is adults only. Plenty of sunbeds, towels and umbrellas around pool and on the beach, Our suite was exceptional, we had 2 balconies, jars of nibbles, a nespresso coffee machine, a kettle and a fridge, plus plenty of filtered water. The bathroom was very large and well equipped with toiletries, with a separate toilet and shower and a bath with bath salts and petals. We could open up the shutters to have a view of the sea from the bath. Slippers, robes, and very comfy flip flops are available too. Every member of staff was amazing, from the gardener to the chief executive. Always smiling and helpful. Breakfast was great with a wide selection and even a glass or 2 of bubbles if you fancy. The BBQ dinner was fabulous and well worth the money. It is a phenomenal selection of hot and cold food and plenty of bubbles. If you want to eat outside the hotel at all there are a number of restaurants a short distance away, we had a scooter so this was easy for us. Grabs are available but understand they can be difficult to get due to the short journey. Be aware that the restaurants outside the hotel do not sell alcohol (with the exception of 1, Scarborough fish and chips). All in all an outstanding hotel with outstanding staff.
