I used to think that Tanjung Rhu Resort was a bit off the beaten path for the average Langkawi ‘vacationer’ but now I get it. I spent 3 glorious days and 2 nights there and can now honestly say, that for folks who want a real Langkawi Island holiday, the location is perfect, and the resort itself is a heavenly breath of fresh air. Sweeping seafront location, white sand beach, spacious rooms, diverse onsite restaurants, spa and gym, fabulous staff, and the resort is amazingly quiet. Definitely a Slice of Paradise.
I was initially invited to Tanjung Rhu Resort to do restaurant reviews, but considering I live across the island from Tanjung Rhu Resort, eating several meals at one sitting didn’t make sense, nor did driving back and forth for a couple of weeks just to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Thus, I was generously given a couple of sleepover nights at the luxury resort. And it was a dream-come-true staycation for sure!
Staying at a resort for a couple of nights versus one night makes a huge difference, because it allows me ample time to unpack, relax, and truly experience a resort at all hours of the day and night. Especially if the resort has a lot to offer. Tanjung Rhu Resort definitely has a lot to offer, and I was ready to savor every luxurious moment of it.
My Tanjung Rhu Resort Suite
Despite the age of Tanjung Rhu Resort, she is in excellent condition. The grounds and landscaping are the epitome of a tropical paradise and the seafront is a truly gorgeous stretch of white sand beach.
I stayed in a Damai Suite, which overlooked the courtyard and had a distant peek at the adjacent waterfront. My room was huge. Damai Suites have a spacious living room/bedroom combo with balconies. Adjacent to the bedroom is a large walk-in closet style office space, inclusive of a sizeable desk and loads of closet space.
Additional amenities include a mini-bar, flat-screen TV, coffee and tea set, ironing board, safety deposit box, and WIFI. But the icing on the cake? An absolutely fabulous rain shower and bathtub. Complete with complimentary toiletries and bath salts. All perfect. I would have been very happy to stay a few extra days, because it was truly everything I could ask for in an accommodation.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry
In addition to three separate and unique dining venues, Tanjung Rhu Resort also has 2 pool bars that serve food and beverages. Whatever your heart desires just for the asking. You’ll get service with a smile too! Tanjung Rhu Resort’s staff know what guests expect when it comes to 5-star relations and manage to be professional as well as genuinely welcoming.
Sands Restaurant, Saffron Sports Bar, and the Chefs Table are the resort’s main dining venues and they are superb. Surprisingly inexpensive too. I know because I spent 3 days and 2 nights eating and drinking like a queen. So impressed I was by the food and service that I would put all three of these restaurants at the top of the list for my Langkawi dining recommendations. Especially Chefs Table, their food is to die for. Really!
All of Tanjung Rhu Resort’s dining options are available to non-guests, as well as guests with an easy RSVP call. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Plenty to Do at Tanjung Rhu Resort
Although my main agenda was to eat delicious food, I also took advantage of the many activity perks Tanjung Rhu Resort offers. In addition to an uninterrupted sandy waterfront, for those requisite long walks on the beach, and glorious sunsets, Tanjung Rhu Resort is no slacker when it comes having to things to do.
Watersports, such as kayaking and stand-up paddle boards are available, as well as ATV riding and yoga. They even have a reading room and billiard tables for those who like to mix it up. Need some extra pampering? Tanjung Rhu Resort’s in house spa awaits.
For additional nearby sightseeing options, mangrove tours and island hopping are offered just down the road. And for food hunters the Langkawi Friday Night Market is a not-to-be-missed in nearby Ayer Hangat.
For those seeking a perfect Langkawi beach holiday, Tanjung Rhu Resort truly has it all. And if the tides are favorable, the opportunity to experience Tanjung Rhu’s famous sandbar walk may present itself as well. Taking that little slice of paradise, just a little bit farther out to sea.
