Rebak Island Resort & Marina, Langkawi

Rebak Island Resort & Marina, once a Taj hotel, has Pulau Rebak Besar to itself: a 390-acre island off Pantai Cenang, on Langkawi’s west coast, with about 80 rooms and suites, a marina and a beach the resort keeps for its guests.

The resort’s boat crosses from Cenang Terminal in about 7 minutes and is free for guests; the terminal is about 20 minutes from the airport. Rooms run from 47 m² garden-view rooms to two-bedroom suites, and there is one restaurant, a beach bar and a pool bar. Breakfast is included only if your rate says so.

The catch is the boat and the age of the place. The resort’s timetable lists 13 runs each way, the last from Cenang at midnight, but gaps reach 2.5 hours, and guest reviews from August and September 2026 warn of boats suspended in bad weather and frequent cancellations. Recent guest reviews often call the rooms and facilities dated, and some mention thin walls between rooms.
