While every inch of this resort is healing - from the breath-taking sea views where eagles head to hunt to the canopy views of the villas where one can catch sight of monkey troops ambling around, the stunning Datai Spa, with suites that open to a rainforest stream, is simply a dream. The Malay massage here is fabulously studied and practised. The Dining Room presents a limited but sophisticated menu (chicken consomme laden with shaved black truffles is divine) while the Pavilion dishes out superb Thai cuisine that works well with the tropical alfresco milieu.
