Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, Langkawi

Langkawi’s iconic hospitality landmark

For the well-bred aristocratic class of travellers intending to immerse themselves in the world of luxury and are planning a trip to the seaside destination of Langkawi, there’s nothing like Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa that has been renamed as Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa. Nestling on the shores of Cenang Beach that is better known as Pantai Cenang lying in Kedah, the five-star property has a good hold on luxury-seekers.   Spread over 35 acres of land area, Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa was once from the house of Singapore-based Meritus Hotels and Resorts that has the distinction of being  one of the premier luxury haunts in the island getaway of Langkawi and opened its doors way back in 1989. Mandarin Orchard Singapore has been the flagship of Meritus Hotels and in today’s age, Meritus has successfully evolved as a renowned Asian hospitality brand. The luxury property overlooking the Straits of Malacca is at a proximal distance of 4.9 km from Langkawi International Airport.

I am quite familiar with Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, Langkawi during my sporadic visits to Malaysia. In recent times, I had an opportunity for luxury staycation at  Pelangi Beach Resort for a couple of days and it took my breath away for its heart-warming hospitality and splendid views. One gets to experience the magic of sun, sea and sand in the tropical landscape of Langkawi. 

The charm of Cenang Beach

 

The luxury group is best defined as a traditional Malay rustic hotel, well-furnished with 355 spacious rooms of which there are a cluster of 122 beach front wooden chalets with balconies.

  There is Pelangi spa offering Malaysian therapies that would invigorate your body and mind. The property has wheel chair accessibilities for visitors with special needs.

I stayed in one of those beach front chalets and was taken aback with the oceanfront views and the white sandy beach.

Viewing the sunrise and sunset in the midst of swaying palm trees came as a bonus.  There are a plethora of activities for kids.

The hotel provides a lot of outdoor games like squash, tennis, archery, mini golf and bicycle rentals. One can watch tourists engage in water sports on Cenang beach. Lastly, one should not forget to miss the plush Meritus Club designed for the well-heeled class of guests offering yummy treats.
