Tanjung Rhu Resort

Pulau Langkawi

LoginSave

This beautifully situated resort has 54 large and comfy rooms with balconies and great views of the limestone and green water at Tanjung Rhu. Service is a pleasant blend of competent and friendly, and two elegant 50m pools as well as a salt-water lagoon pool are added draws. With no water sports, the 2.5km private beach feels secluded and serene.

The only real downside is its distance from many of Langkawi’s attractions, restaurants and nightlife; those seeking complete relaxation may view that as a plus.
