Langkawi hits the spot for relaxation or adventure
Guests at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi, can take part in a kayak trip, among many other outdoor and indoor activities.
Step away from the hustle and bustle of modern life at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi in Kedah.
The resort offers guests a chance to immerse in the rich traditions and legends of Langkawi, through serene spa treatments, outdoor excursions that reveal little-known facts about its flora and fauna, or strengthening mind and body with yoga and pilates.
The resort has indoor and outdoor activities for guests to enjoy throughout the year.
At the award-winning spa, the overwater spa pavilions are shaped like bubu (traditional fish traps).
As you enter the pavilions, indulge in a purifying and restorative full-body experience.
Traditionally performed to dispel bad energy, the treatment harnesses the benefits of traditional herbs rich in essential oils and therapeutic flowers to bring about calm and relaxation.
Warm aromatic oils are gently applied over the body and combined with a rhythmical massage to soothe tense, aching muscles, rebalance body and mind and bring about an overall sense of well-being.
The relaxing hot stone massage and marine mud wrap experience combines the rich natural treasures of the rainforest and ocean to nurture and nourish the body and mind.
The resort's therapists blend centuries-old techniques with indigenous essential oils and heated stones to ensure aching muscles are soothed and dull lifeless skin is nourished.
Guests can also immerse themselves in nature with a yoga or mat pilates session at the outdoor deck of the gym, led by professional in-house instructors.
Begin the day with a rejuvenating sunrise yoga session or build your core with an afternoon mat pilates class or wind down with a relaxing sunset yoga session.
Langkawi is an island rich in myths, legends and natural wonders.
There one can embark on an exhilarating journey through tropical 10-million-year-old rainforest with the Trails of Wonder experience, where every step leads to new discoveries.
Led by Unesco-certified guides, who are the resort's naturalists, the 1.4km trek is the perfect bonding activity meshing adventure and new knowledge for all in the family.
Visitors can learn about Langkawi's rich natural and cultural heritage, deepening their appreciation for the wonders of the rainforest.
Engage in interactive activities and fascinating storytelling that will captivate the imagination and ignite a sense of wonder in both young and old.
After returning from your trek, continue your outdoor escapades by diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea or enjoying kayaking or paddle boarding in the resort's peaceful cove.
Thrill-seekers and nature lovers can opt for a three-hour journey by land or a mix of land and sea, with the resort naturalists leading them through the jungle to a secret beach where they'll enjoy a picnic.
With RitzVenture, the return journey goes back through the rainforest while SeaVenture involves a kayak trip back to the resort, with the chance to spot wild dolphins and otters.
