A 10-minute scenic drive from Langkawi International Airport and you will arrive at cosy Teluk Nibong along the Andaman Sea shore line.  Charmingly designed in Malaysian traditional style with a blend of contemporary architecture, the resort is nestled amidst 38 acres of spacious, lush tropical surroundings with an idyllic stretch of private beach coves, an ideal holiday getaway for honeymooners, families, and discerning travellers.
