The crystal clear waters of the
Andaman Sea with fish a-jumping
below you, the gentle caressing of
the fresh breeze in the evenings is
too much to be true, but it is!
This is the setting that will
greet you should you find
yourself within the welcoming
ambiance of the Berjaya Langkawi
Beach & Spa Resort.
Surround yourself in sheer luxury at
the resort’s Premier Chalet on Water
with its tastefully-designed
multi-million ringgit accommodation
offering sea-front bungalows built
on stilts over the breathtaking
emerald waters of the Andaman Sea.
Luxury within and luxury beyond the
confines of the tastefully-appointed
resort chalets – this is what a
sojourn at Berjaya Langkawi
promises. Expect VIP privileges,
services and facilities including
personalised check-in when you stay
at the chalet.
To be here in this part of Langkawi
is probably your best bet for among
the best things that these isles
of legends can offer. You can while
away the hours and the days without
even needing to venture beyond the
parameters of the resort. Enjoy and
immerse yourself in
pleasure by fishing right from your
over-water holiday abode. They say
the best way to land fish here is to use
sliced fresh squid and the ideal
time would be in the early mornings
or evenings. The most common catch
is the siakap (sea bass) and
kerapu (garoupa). You can ask
for your catch to be cooked for you.
For breakfast, premier chalet
residents (both land and over water)
are specially catered for breakfast
which is served at the seafront
Pantai Restaurant, giving you
premium service and a wide choice of
food.
The jungle experience
Although you can partake of
activities ranging from snorkeling
trips, island hopping and jungle
trekking, try not to miss out on the
enriching experience of the nature
walk.
The beachside activities and the two
kilometre nature walk that starts
from the doorstep of the resort is
very popular, especially with guests
on shorter stays and who prefer to
remain within the resort area.
The nature walk and jungle trekking
are recommended as about 65 percent of
Langkawi is still richly-covered by
ancient rainforest. The island is
home to about 400 species of
butterflies
compared to the British Isles which
have only 70. This is among the
reasons butterfly enthusiasts,
entomologists and naturalists often
make Langkawi their destination of
choice for the study of insects.
Langkawi has 98 species of bats.
Many are insectivorous and
mosquitoes are a part of their
voracious diet. This explains why
for nature walks you don’t need to
slather yourself with insect
repellent.
The Berjaya Langkawi is among the
ideal locations to spot the elusive
flying lemur (Cynocepahllus
variagatus). Being nocturnal, these
animals seek out deep crevices in
the trunks of huge trees during the
day and only emerge in the evenings
to climb up the trees and glide
gracefully in search of food. If you
stay at one of the jungle chalets,
chances are you just might be lucky
enough to hear the whoosh and see
the dark shadow of
the creature as they move about
among the trees.
Nearby Attractions
Within comfortable walking distance
from the resort are the Oriental
Village and the
internationally-acclaimed Langkawi
Cable Car that rides up to the peak
of Gunung Machinchang, which
overlooks the Berjaya Langkawi
resort. You can buy tickets for the
cable car ride at the resort without
having to queue at the base station.
A complimentary one-way shuttle to
the cable car station is also
provided for guests.
