Rob Rinder and Monica Galetti are in Malaysia for this episode of Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby, experiencing the Datai Langkawi, a hotel nestled beneath the canopy of a lush rainforest. This secluded retreat is so immersed in nature that monkeys roam freely, and guests must keep their doors shut to prevent unexpected visitors.
During their stay, Rinder and Galetti dive into the heart of the hotel’s operations, from tending to the lily pond to dealing with hair-raising bends in golf buggies. They also explore the environmental challenges and initiatives that come with managing a hotel in such a unique setting.
They will uncover the secrets of the Datai Langkawi and discover how this hotel strives to strike a balance between luxury and sustainability.
