> Quick view: The Datai Breakaway, the Malaysian and Singaporean residents' rate from RM1,853 a night, covered stays until 31 October 2026 and is now over. For a November or December stay, the cheapest published route is the Early Bird at RM2,700 a night (book 30 days ahead, stays to 22 December), or Extended Journey's stay 4 pay 3. Golf, sustainability and romance packages run to 15 December. Add 10% service charge to every figure.
The Datai Langkawi sits on its own bay, Teluk Datai, on the north-west tip of Langkawi, with the resort set into ancient rainforest above the beach. It is one of the most expensive stays in Kedah, which is why the Breakaway residents' rate drew attention in September. We first wrote this page about that offer. On 7 November 2026 we went back to the resort's offers page and every offer it links, and rebuilt this guide around what you can still book.
What happened to the Breakaway residents' rate
The Breakaway gave Malaysian and Singaporean residents a Canopy Deluxe room from RM1,853 a night (RM2,038.30 with the 10% service charge), breakfast for two adults and two children under 12, 15% off dining and spa, and free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival. Its terms said "valid for stay until 31 October 2026".
The Breakaway page is still live and the offers index still lists it at an older "from MYR 2,180" figure, but the end date has not been moved. Resident rates at The Datai have come back before, so it is worth checking the booking screen for your dates. Just don't plan a trip around RM1,853 unless you can actually see it there.

Worked examples in ringgit
These use each offer's lowest advertised rate plus the 10% service charge. Your dates may price higher.
- Early Bird, two nights: RM2,700 × 2 = RM5,400, plus 10% = RM5,940, or RM2,970 a night. That is RM931.70 a night more than the Breakaway cost.
- Extended Journey, four nights: the page gives no rate. If the three paid nights priced at the Early Bird's RM2,700 starting level, you'd pay RM8,100 plus 10% = RM8,910 for four nights, about RM2,227.50 a night. At stay 7 pay 5, the same assumption gives RM14,850, about RM2,121 a night. The real rate is likely higher, since Early Bird's figure already includes its 10% discount.
- Golf Exclusive, two nights: RM3,600 × 2 = RM7,200, plus 10% = RM7,920. That includes golf for two, one dinner and return airport transfers. The resort's own round-trip Vellfire transfer is RM600 plus service charge (RM660), so the transfers alone are worth that much.
- Consciously Datai, four nights: RM11,600 plus 10% = RM12,760, or RM3,190 a night, with airport transfers and the activities included.
- Rainforest Romance, three nights: RM7,100 × 3 = RM21,300, plus 10% = RM23,430 for two, with all meals, the spa treatment and transfers.
Which one to pick
- Couple or family, 2 to 3 nights in December: Early Bird, if you can book 30 days out. Booking from today means arrivals from early December up to 22 December. It is non-refundable, so only book once flights are fixed.
- Four nights or more: Extended Journey. One or two free nights beats a 10% discount on any stay of four nights or longer, and the minibar is included.
- Golfers: Golf Exclusive. Two nights with a round for two, dinner and transfers is simpler than booking the Els Club separately.
- Families who want activities sorted: Consciously Datai. The per-night cost is higher than Early Bird, but airport transfers, a guided tour and a nature activity are already paid for.
- Honeymoon or big anniversary: Rainforest Romance. It is the only offer on a Pool Villa and the only one with full board.
Skip The Datai for now if you were counting on a residents' price. Among Langkawi resorts we've covered, The Danna's residents' rate runs to 30 November from RM1,188 a night, and Four Seasons has its own offers to 11 December (links below).
Fine print that trips people up
- Two offers are non-refundable. Early Bird and Extended Journey both charge 100% on cancellation. Golf Exclusive, Consciously Datai and Rainforest Romance don't publish a cancellation rule on their pages, so ask before paying.
- Different end dates. Early Bird and Extended Journey run to 22 December. Golf, Consciously Datai and Rainforest Romance stop at 15 December. Nothing on the site covers Christmas or New Year yet.
- Third adult costs extra. Early Bird and Extended Journey list RM460 a night per extra adult, before service charge.
- Transfers. The resort is 30 km (about 40 minutes) from Langkawi International Airport and 45 km (about an hour) from Kuah jetty. Its transfer price list says it is valid until October 2026: RM350 one way or RM600 round trip in a Toyota Vellfire, RM450 or RM700 for an executive limousine, RM550 or RM800 for a Bentley or BMW i7, all plus 10%. Confirm current prices when you book. Golf Exclusive, Consciously Datai and Rainforest Romance include airport transfers. Early Bird and Extended Journey don't, so a hire car or Grab is cheaper.
