It is also the first all-suite luxury resort in the region, boasting 85 appointed suites and 4 private over-water villas.
Ultra luxurious resort St Regis has opened its first doors in Malaysia in none other than the scenic island of Langkawi.
The arrival of the iconic luxury brand at the UNESCO First World Geopark also makes it the first luxury resort to set foot on the island in a decade. Worldwide, it is the 37th address.
A joint venture between Rajawali Group and the Government of Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance, the resort is owned by Integrated Nautical Resort Sdn Bhd that chose Langkawi specifically for its 99-island archipelago. It hopes to evoke the feel of a natural paradise for its guests, being fringed by a 600-metre white sand beach that greets emerald green waters opening up to the Andaman Sea.
