Malaysians are truly fortunate to have such an abundance of beautiful resorts and beaches on our doorstep. It might be a while before we can hold destination weddings again, but there’s nothing stopping you from saying “I do” by the beach, or against the backdrop of a lush rainforest.

From the sun-soaked private beaches of Datai Bay to the lush gardens and rainforests surrounding The Datai Langkawi, could this be any more perfect for an intimate wedding or romantic elopement? Located at the north-western tip of Langkawi island, this exclusive resort has all the answers: a cosy, sunset ceremony on the beach, perhaps, or the magical deck overlooking the rainforest at the Crystal Creek waterfall.

Many thanks to Joshua Koh Photography for capturing this styled shoot at The Datai Langkawi. Conceptualised by The Wedding Notebook, this was brought to life by Sherly of Tie the Knot, featuring the beautiful work of Darling Florist & Events Langkawi.
