Flanked by towering limestone cliffs and jungle-clad mountains, the Four Seasons Langkawi stretches along a glorious expanse of white sand beach on the northern tip of the island.

The resort鈥檚 lushly landscaped gardens are sanctuary to a series of wonderfully spacious pavilions and villas, each decked out in Moorish and Malaysian styles with tropical timber floors, Spanish marble bathrooms and large open-air verandas. Just one step down to powdery white sands, the Beach Villas are the pick of the accommodation, complete with private plunge pools and outdoor showers.
