Ritz-Carlton has opened its second property in Malaysia, with the launch of an oceanfront resort in the tourist destination of Langkawi.

designed by Philippe Villeroux of Kuala Lumpur-based Tropical Area Architects, Ritz-Carlton Langkawi has been created to “immerse travelers in the island's natural ecosystem and local culture”.

Reflecting the architecture of the nearby traditional villages – which are known as kampongs – the resort is set in a tranquil private bay and offers 70 guest rooms, 15 suites and 29 villas.

The resort’s 'jewel' is the 917sq m (9,870sq ft) Ritz-Carlton spa spread across five cocoon-shaped pavilions which float above the sea. The pavilions have been designed to resemble Malay Bubus – the intricately woven fish traps that have been used by local fishermen for centuries.

Connected by over-water walkways, each pavilion is surrounded by a circular platform with ocean views.

The pavilions house a total of five treatment rooms – a luxury spa suite, a couples’ spa suite, a couples’ treatment room and two single treatment rooms.

There is also a relaxation area with two vitality pools (female and male), a sauna, steam bath, hammam and a manicure and pedicure salon.

The spa’s treatment menu is based on traditional local elements and has been inspired by the indigenous healing and beauty ceremonies practiced by local shamans on the island for thousands of years.

As well as the spa, the resort’s leisure facilities include a health club equipped with Technogym kit, an outdoor tennis court, an infinity pool and four restaurants.

There are also indoor and outdoor yoga zones, offering 180-degree views of the rainforest and classes led by qualified instructors.
