Verdict
The Danna is a resort of 122 rooms, suites and beach villas at the east end of Pantai Kok beach, beside the Telaga Harbour marina on Langkawi’s west coast. It is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and the Langkawi SkyCab and Oriental Village are a 2-minute drive away.
Rooms run from Merchant and Grand Marina View rooms to Viceroy and Duchess Sea View rooms, suites, and one- and two-bedroom beach villas, each with a private pool. There are five places to eat and drink, a spa, a kids’ club and a three-tier pool facing the beach. Guest reviews in 2026 often mention the staff and the welcome massage at check-in, and a few guests saw monkeys and hornbills.
The catch is cost and the view. Breakfast (MYR118 per adult on Trip.com) and the airport car are extra unless your rate includes them, and the cheaper rooms look over the hills, courtyard or marina rather than the sea; one 2026 guest’s view was mostly the car park, with the marina in the distance. Some guests also found the welcome at check-in brisk or missing, and one called the sand coarse.
Good for
Couples and families who want a beach resort close to the airport and the SkyCab, with a kids' club.
Not for
Tight budgets, or anyone who wants a sea view without paying for a sea-view room.
