Verdict
The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi sits on what it calls a tranquil and private bay at Teluk Nibung, off Jalan Pantai Kok on the west coast; the public beach at Pantai Kok is 1.4 km north-west. It has 119 rooms and villas, including beach villas and villas over the water.
An adults-only overwater beach bar has its own infinity pool. The hotel is 10.2 km from the airport, about 10 minutes by road, and guests must be at least 18 to check in. Breakfast is included only if your rate says so.
The catch is cost. The room rate is high, and the hotel provides no shuttle: the transfer company it lists charges RM200 each way on top.
Good for
Couples who want a quiet bay and a villa over the water close to the airport.
Not for
Tight budgets, or anyone who expects a free airport shuttle.
