The Service

If you've never experienced a Four Seasons before the level of service will leave you somewhat flabbergasted. When arriving at a restaurant you'll greeted - usually by name, when arriving at the beach you'll be handed a towel (naturally) and again greeted by name. It's the closest you'll ever get to feeling like royalty. It's something Four Seasons pride it's self on. If you leave your room for any prolonged period of time you'll return to find the fairies have been at work - clothes folded, table tidied and more often than not some kind of edible treat has been prepared for you. It doesn't stop there, during my trip one of my fellow journalists broke a pair of flip flops on an over zealous walk on the beach, upon returning to his room that evening he discovered that during dinner the offending flip flop had been removed, repaired and returned. Now that is a nice touch!

Things To Do

You can get married with Four Seasons Langkawi if you want but let's just say that in order to use the private beach for your ceremony a minimum spend is required. If you are not a Russian oligarch or Sultan you need not apply. Therefore, let's assume you are on honeymoon... Most honeymooners want picture perfect beaches, pampering, relaxation and the option for a variety of activities. If that sounds like you then read on.

On Site Activities

Within the complex you can enjoy two swimming pools, one family focussed with multiple terraces, levels and interconnecting water features, the other is an adults only "quiet" infinity pool with private cabanas and views out to the sea. Of course if you prefer there is the private beach. If you do honeymoon here you must take advantage of the geo spa, set in a truly breathtaking landscape on the very edge of the complex where sheer rock face meets rainforest. Combine this with sunrise yoga at the lotus pond and you've officially taken R&R to the next level. In contrast you can also enjoy the onsite gym, book water sports activities or try the resort-run abseiling, archery or rock climbing classes. When we get asked about honeymoons at RMW a common question is this; "Where can we go for total relaxation but also activities and adventure?" It is safe to say that FS Langkawi will satisfy couples who have eclectic or differing views on what the ideal honeymoon should be.

Off Site Adventures

These activities take you further afield but can still be arranged through, and in most cases are run by, staff at the resort. The guided bike tour of local villages provides a glimpse into local life and I think this is an essential additional to your holiday, it's quite an eye opener after becoming accustomed to the lush, manicured surroundings of the resort. Equally essential is the mangrove safari lead by resident expert naturalist Aidi Abdullah where you will experience and learn about the local geography and wildlife. A worthwhile excursion is trip across the island to the cable car and Sky Bridge. If you have a head for heights it provides an exhilarating ride and easily the best viewpoint anywhere on Langkawi. The highlight of my stay was a guided trek through wild rainforest. One for the most adventurous, the trail was difficult in parts and is certainly not suitable for children or inexperienced walkers. At times it is required to scale sections of rock face and traverse ledges not much wider than your shoes! The walk starts in the grounds of the resort but quickly takes you out through rainforest and up into the rocky cliffs that line the northern tip of the island, the sense of accomplishment as I reached the peak was heightened further by the magnificent view.
