Ultra-luxury beachfront resort featuring private villas with pools, butler service, and access to pristine beach. World-class dining, spa, and water sports in an exclusive setting. Perfect for honeymoons and special celebrations.
The St. Regis Langkawi is an ultra-luxury resort occupying a secluded beachfront site on Langkawi's northwest coast at Jalan Pantai Beringin in Kedah, Malaysia. Operated under Marriott's St. Regis brand, the resort combines the brand's signature butler service tradition with a distinctively Langkawi setting: overwater bungalows positioned above the Andaman Sea, a private beach, and dense tropical plantings that create a sense of genuine seclusion on an island that receives over three million visitors annually. The resort opened in 2015 and has consistently ranked among Malaysia's finest hospitality offerings.
The property contains 85 suites and villas, a deliberately limited inventory that ensures a high staff-to-guest ratio and a private atmosphere throughout. Room categories range from St. Regis Suites in the main building to Celestial and Astor Suites, rising to the Overwater Villas — the resort's most distinctive accommodation, positioned on stilts above the Andaman Sea with glass floor panels, private outdoor decks, and direct ladder access to the sea below. All categories include St. Regis butler service, available 24 hours a day for in-room dining, personal shopping, trip coordination, and daily room preparation.
Kayuputi Restaurant is the resort's signature dining venue, an overwater pavilion serving modern Asian cuisine with fresh Andaman seafood in an open-walled setting above the sea. Consistently regarded as one of Malaysia's premier restaurant experiences, Kayuputi is particularly sought after for sunset seatings when the northwest-facing pavilion frames the Andaman horizon. Glow restaurant handles all-day casual dining and a celebrated daily breakfast. The Iridium Spa offers 12 treatment rooms alongside an outdoor wellness circuit. A fleet of water sports equipment including sea kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling gear is available for guest use from the private beach.
The beach faces northwest — the optimal orientation for Langkawi sunsets — and the resort is approximately 15 kilometres from Langkawi International Airport. Private transfers, yacht charters, and island excursions are bookable through the butler team. Honeymooners and guests celebrating significant milestones constitute a substantial portion of the resort's clientele.

- Overwater Villa rates are substantially higher than suite rates; the northwest beach and sunset views are accessible from all room categories, making suites an efficient alternative for non-villa budgets
- Langkawi is duty-free: the butler team can facilitate duty-free alcohol and tobacco orders from Kuah Town, which are significantly more affordable than in-room minibar pricing
- The resort's water sports equipment is complimentary for guests; sea conditions are consistently calmer in the mornings before afternoon breezes build on the northwest coast
- Arrange arrival transfers through the resort in advance — private airport transfer service is available and ensures a seamless arrival experience from Langkawi International Airport

The Overwater Villas are accessed via boardwalks and require ladder entry to the sea, making them unsuitable for guests with mobility limitations.
