The Datai Langkawi is pleased to announce the reopening of The Beach Club Bar after undergoing a one month renovation project. Situated by the resort’s private beachfront and adjacent to The Beach Club restaurant, the new Beach Club Bar offers guests larger seating capacity and a more contemporary décor, a perfect location for sundowners and pre-dinner drinks. With stunning views of the shimmering Andaman sea, The Beach Club Bar is one of the six food and beverage venues available at The Datai. With its sleek couple sun-loungers and built-in benches alongside the bar area, this is a peaceful haven for guests to relax and enjoy views of the sunset. “The new design of the Beach Club Bar now offers a more spacious facility with breathtaking views, especially at sunset. With this expanded space we will now be able to offer different options for lunchtime dining and evening snacks,” expressed Ms. Eleanor Hardy, General Manager of The Datai Langkawi.

Founded by Belgian architect Thierry HP Janssens in 2003, THPJ and Partners are behind the redesign of the new Beach Club Bar. In line with The Datai’s concept of blending with nature, The Beach Club Bar retains its original structure with traditional attap style roof and wooden structure amongst the matured greenery that surrounds it. The bar has been beautified with dark slate counter tops and state-of-the-art equipment, and fully equipped with elegant hand-woven rattan-like furniture. Those who wish to relax by the sea and pool with a book while having cocktails and snacks during the day can enjoy the comfortably padded benches that surround the bar area.
