Ambong Rainforest Retreat: This Idyllic Resort In Langkawi Is A Tranquil Sanctuary Nestled In A Forest

Ambong Rainforest Retreat (also affectionately known as Ambong-Ambong) is an idyllic boutique resort located along Langkawi's Pantai Tengah stretch, nestled within a lush tropical forest overlooking the Andaman Sea. Leave your worries behind temporarily as you step into this tropical paradise on earth.

Different from the usual beachfront establishments in Langkawi, Ambong Rainforest Retreat is a breath of fresh air surrounded by nature. With only 11 units at the retreat, you're in for a private, unforgettable stay in this tranquil space - surrounded by lots of greenery and sounds of nature.

The units here are quirky and warmly-decorated - many describe them as having the feel and vibe of a luxurious treehouse enveloped by greens! With spacious rooms, high ceilings, open-walled balconies, and views of the ocean right outside - you can literally spend days just relaxing and rejuvenating in this space.

Ambong-Ambong's 11 rooms (that consist of studios and suites) are full-sized units that come complete with a kitchen, dining area, and a balcony perched on the hill. You'll find it hard to resist the urge to hop on the comfy four-poster bed in your room! Dressed with mosquito curtains, you can enjoy an undisturbed sleep at night even if you choose to leave the windows open.

Our favourite part of the room is definitely the outdoor wooden bathtub (*only available in the suite units) which you can soak in with a bubbly glass of champagne or coffee and watch the sun go down. The open-walled balcony is spacious and comfy, complete with rattan deck chairs for you to lounge in and enjoy the gentle ocean breeze with views of lush greens and the Andaman Sea in a distance.

As Ambong-Ambong is set amidst nature, don't be surprised if some friends pop by to visit at your balcony! Guests have been visited by gentle birds (such as woodpeckers and hornbills) and cheeky monkeys during their stay.

Strategically located, Ambong-Ambong is a short walk to the beach, as well as a collection of excellent restaurants, cafes, bars, and tourist attractions. The retreat also has a range of private and shared facilities to complete your peaceful stay.

Nothing beats having breakfast in bed, which is especially appreciated in times like these when it's just best to steer clear of crowds.

Lounge by the serene common pool framed with trees. Those hoping to have a romantic escapade here will be delighted to know that the pool is adults-only (sorry, little ones!), so you're pretty much-guaranteed space for a peaceful dip. Also due to the limited number of units at Ambong-Ambong, you're likely to get the whole pool to yourself while you're here!

Relieve your muscles with a rejuvenating massage at Ambong-Ambong's on-site spa, Ishan! Set in the treetops, it's a tranquil space filled with sounds of birds chirping from the trees. Guests of the retreat can also opt to have spa treatments in your own villa where you're guaranteed a private, exclusive experience.
