The Datai inLangkawi has always been one of our very favourite hotels in the whole world.
It has everything you could possibly want from a hotel - one of the best beaches in the world, a choice of fantastic restaurants, impeccable service and a very chilled, relaxed atmosphere.
As an added bonus your neighbours are likely to be hornbills, otters or super cute monkeys.
Definitely a hotel for that special occasion, but I guarantee that once you have been you will want to return again and again

We were recently lucky enough to stay in this stunning penthouse suite at the Danna Langkawi.
The suite sleeps up to 6 people and has its own infinity pool, gym and fully equipped kitchen.
The bedrooms and bathrooms offer amazing views over the Marina and the beach is the perfect place to relax with a sunset cocktail.
Although this is not a cheap option, it is surprisingly affordable for larger families or even two couples travelling together and wanting a taste of luxury. Check out this video

A few more photos - Oberoi, Lombok

17/04/2025

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Oberoi, Lombok, Indonesia šŸ‡®šŸ‡©
It is eight years since we last visited and Iā€™m pleased to say that it hasnā€™t changed a bit.
After a busy trip exploring Western Australia this was the perfect place to unwind and relax.
On arrival we were greeted by several members of staff and even the rain didnā€™t dampen our spirits. We had arrived at the tail end of the rainy season but there was still plenty of sunshine.
We were escorted to our room which came complete with a pool, fish ponds, luxurious sunken bath and a toilet with a view!
The hotel has its own small sandy beach and is set in huge immaculately manicured gardens.
The food was lovely and all members of staff went out of their way to ensure that our every need was catered for.
The journey from the airport is about an hour and a half but this went past quickly with our driver pointing out mosques, volcanoes and wildlife along the way.
I could not find fault with anything at this hidden gem of a hotel.
Thank you Oberoi Lombok, I canā€™t wait to return

A few pictures of the amazing OZEN Bolifushi.
If you have any questions- just ask!
The photos really canā€™t capture just how great this place is.

The second hotel on our Maldives trip was OZEN Bolifushi.
This truly amazing place is in a completely different style to LUX*. It is a much more traditional Maldivian style with lots of wood and thatched buildings.
It is a completely all-inclusive resort. Absolutely everything is included from the fine dining restaurant complete with wine pairing menus to all food and drink in the bars and restaurants. There is a vast selection of hand crafted cocktails and a choice of premium spirits including several malt whiskies. A mini bar containing beer, wine, champagne, soft drinks and snacks is also included and replenished daily. The only extras are some excursions and some spa treatments ( some are included depending on the length of stay)
Our villa ( Ocean Villa with Pool and Slide ) was very spacious with a choice of seating areas including a lounge with a glass floor for fish watching day and night!
The outside area was also huge and again had a choice of seating both in the sun and in the shade. It had a hammock suspended over the sea which was great for a sunset glass of fizz and a large pool which was perfect for cooling off. Steps led directly into the sea from our terrace. We also had our own waterslide, which was a bit terrifying at first but soon became great fun šŸ¤£
The island is fairly small and easy to navigate on the bicycles that come with each room ( another scary moment navigating the boardwalks - with no edges - in the dark on a bike with no lightsšŸ˜±)
The resort is reached by the hotels own luxury catamaran and takes around 30 minutes from Male.
The hotel has its own house reef and the snorkelling is amazing - definitely fish soup on certain parts of the reef.
Overall this is an amazing resort where everyone you meet is smiling and happy and canā€™t do enough to help.
If you are looking for that once in a lifetime, special occasion stay this is definitely the place to go. It is not cheap, but the level of service and attention to detail make OZEN Bolifushi a ā€œmust doā€ destination. You will not regret it!
