The Datai

Whether you are here for a completely relaxing getaway, a dose of nature or gourmet dining, The Datai is perfect for helping recharge batteries and soothe the soul. 

The Datai

Designed by Kerry Hill Architects, the glamourously rustic hotel does a bang up job of incorporating traditional with contemporary architecture. What makes this an architectural gem is its respectful construction within its natural surroundings and extensive use of locally sourced materials, winning it the Aga Khan award for Architecture in 2001.

The deluxe rooms are situated in the main building, with terraces that open out to the natural landscape. Premium rooms, placed higher up, afford sea views. The well-appointed rooms have all the modern amenities for the discerning guest, including free wi-fi service throughout the resort and even on the beach.

For a truly complete getaway, opt for one of the 40-odd villas at The Datai. Nestled amongst the trees, with only the sound of crickets and rustling leaves to break the peace, it is a calm sanctuary that sees guests returning annually. A 24-hour buggy service is available to transport guests around.

The latest addition to The Datai are the Beach Villas, the crowning glory to their excellent portfolio of accommodation scheduled to open in November 2012. Luxe up in its spacious area of 218 sq. metres, which includes a separate dining and living area, and a pool. It is just steps away from the hotel's idyllic white beach, but still secluded for full privacy.
