Located at the very end of Jalan Teluk Datai, Saujana Private Villas is certainly far away from the hustle and bustle of any city. Our ride from the airport took about 40 minutes, and we watched as the scenery changed from busy shoplined streets, stretches of padi fields and the occasional construction site to a narrow two-way road in lush jungle. On this winding trail, we passed Temurun waterfalls, the Els Club Teluk Datai and The Datai Langkawi. There is certainly an emphasis on the word “private” at Saujana Private Villas. A remote-controlled gate closes off this getaway from the outside world. After traversing a steep and winding road, we arrived at our destination.
Seclusion and luxury amid nature? A cluster of private villas offers all that and more on the mystical island of Langkawi — ideal for those gingerly making their first post-lockdown trip.
If the past two years have taught us anything, it is that taking time off to disconnect from the internet and reconnect with ourselves and nature is incredibly important. Langkawi has been a popular destination for local travellers since travel restrictions were lifted, but while most people thronged the busy beaches of Cenang, we were lucky enough to bed down at the secluded Saujana Private Villas.
