Homestays in Teluk Datai

Insane location, private, with only four villas super friendly staff, a BIG thank you to Ken and the whole team! Rental car is recommend :)

This place was absolutely amazing, beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly quiet. Nestled deep in the jungle, it offers a true connection with nature. Exotic birds visit daily, and monkeys stop by, yet you still get the silence and serenity you might be looking for. It is so remote that you will need at least a scooter to get snacks, drinks, and other essentials. It is very private, so it has to be remote enough, but the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, so you might not even need to leave, though you definitely should, at least to explore. Each morning, you will be treated to a lovely breakfast with an amazing cup of coffee. I have been told that the main beach access has been closed by the owner, but do not worry, the staff has a secret ace up their sleeve. Just five minutes from the villas, there is a hidden private beach where you can have the entire place to yourself. Since this place is in the middle of the jungle, it requires constant maintenance. It is more like an ongoing repair cycle—by the time you finish repairing from point A to point Z, points A to D already need fixing again. That is just the nature of it, and honestly, there is nothing the owner could have done better than keeping up with this never-ending cycle of maintenance. Now, the best part of my stay was the people. I do not even want to call them staff because they are so much more than that. I would rather call them the Host-Family because they treat you like a long-lost relative visiting from abroad. They are the true highlight of this place, even more than the villas themselves. They completely respect your privacy, but if you are open to conversations, you will quickly see how warm and hospitable they truly are. Their kindness and interactions will make your stay unforgettable. Thank you all for these truly beautiful days. I will not provide names since I do not know if they would be okay with it, but you know who you are.

The property is a hidden gem - amidst a scenic piece of paradise (as the name suggests) - on a hilltop, overlooking the blue ocean. The property itself is very tastefully done - architecture as well as the interiors, with multiple elevations. The room is super large and the bathrooms have a splendid view! The infinity pool overlooking the sea is a treat. Kenneth was very warm and went over and beyond his duty to take care of us. We needed a break and this was more than we imagined - definitely coming back soon with more friends and family!

Nanthi and Didi were the most welcoming hosts, friendly and enthusiastic. From the minute we arrived we felt valued and Didi gave us lots of really useful information about things to do, restaurants etc. We hired a scooter from them for two days which made seeing the island so easy. On our last night they organised a minibus to take all the guests with them for a wonderful sunset dinner in a paddy field restaurant. We really felt like family. Breakfasts were simple but delicious, Nanthi's scrambled eggs are fabulous! It may not have the amenities of a larger hotel but who needs that when you have a clean comfortable room and excellent hosts who really care about their guests. Highly recommend!

Good option if you in the tight budget… The room bit spacious and clean too… I love the private toilet provided and the aircond worked very well… The Wi-Fi connection also good !!

Amazing property away from the Main Street with space to just relax and unwind. Super close to the beach and handy having scooter rental available too. Mama Yati and Papa Mas are great hosts.

Wonderful host, very welcoming, kind and knowledgeable about places to visit. Also, sorted out scooter hire for us and a kayaking tour of the mangroves. Rooms are a really nice size, good aircon and fan, and nice to have a fridge in the room. Lovely location, with wildlife surrounding it: dusky leaf monkeys, monitor lizards, colugos, hornbills and tons of frogs! Nice that’s it’s back from the main road, although not too far from the beach and restaurants, lots of nice cats too! Also, nice common area in middle with a kitchen with drinking water and sofas and tables. Would definitely stay here again if back in Langkawi!!

We loved the little secluded huts and the field with cows that would come overnight and leave in the day. It was nice and calm, which was a good break from the tourist packed beaches and perfect for a nice swim in the pool after a long day. The owner was the nicest woman and had the cutest cats. She was always ready to help us. She had excellent recommendations and told us stories about Langkawi’s history and legends, which only added to the magical feeling of this oasis. A lovely stay that made this trip so memorable!

If you’re looking for a serene escape into nature, Kawah Padi Garden Villa is an absolute gem in Langkawi. Nestled among stunning rice fields with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, this place offers a perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty. The idyllic scenery makes you feel like you’re stepping into a postcard, providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. One of the highlights of staying here is the unlimited complimentary coffee served between 8 and 10 AM. The coffee, brewed by the talented barista Atiq using a Simonelli Italian pressure machine, is widely considered the best coffee on the island. This touch of luxury makes mornings here truly delightful. The location is another standout feature — you can reach most of Langkawi’s attractions within just 15 to 30 minutes. Whether you’re heading to the beach, exploring local markets, or hiking, everything is conveniently accessible. Your experience is made even better by the owner, Mun, who is known for his warm hospitality and dedication to making your stay memorable. He goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcome and relaxed. Plus, you can rent a scooter or motorbike directly from Mun for just 35 MYR/day, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace. Special recognition goes to Mabel, an international volunteer, whose kindness and excellent service add to the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the villa. For those seeking a peaceful, rejuvenating stay amidst nature, Kawah Padi Garden Villa is the perfect choice. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a small group, this place offers everything you need for an unforgettable experience. Recommendation for Improvement: The breakfast selection could benefit from more healthy options and greater variety to better complement the otherwise outstanding experience. Highly recommended!
