Temple Tree

Top choice in Pulau Langkawi


On the adjoining plot to Bon Ton, sister hotel Temple Tree raises the stakes with a collection of antique structures relocated from various points in Malaysia. An imposing Chinese mansion, a wooden villa from Penang, colonial-style shophouses and other restored structures make up the stately, park-like compound.

Linking both locations is a common thread of class, style, thoughtful service and – take this as a warning if you don’t care to share your villa with Felix – cats.
