Overview
Unhurried rhythms. Tropical breezes. Aquamarine waters. Fascinating wildlife.
On the island of Langkawi (lang-kah-wee), the rhythm of life remains much as it had in days gone by. A coastline dotted with fishing boats, rustic villages, and a horizon that twinkles with the brilliance of a thousand stars at dusk. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a cape in the northernmost tip of the island, Tanjung Rhu (tan-joong-roo) - a scenic and untouched enclave nestled in the shade of luxuriant casuarina trees. Here lies the Tanjung Rhu Resort - a deluxe resort fringing the long, magnificent bay that leads to the clear, cool waters of the Andaman Sea.

The 135-room Tanjung Rhu Resort lies in the heart of the mosiac that personifies Tanjung Rhu's wild, scenic beauty. Enveloped by the cool shape of rustling casuarinas, it looks out to the aquarmarine Andaman Sea, flanked by a landscape of centuries-old limestone caves and uninhabited islands.
