Hilton Burau Bay Langkawi Resort

Nestled within a UNESCO Global Geopark, this resort, only two months old, boasts a stunning backdrop of Mount Machinchang and direct views of the Andaman Sea. It features 650 meters of pristine, private white sand beach and is encircled by lush rainforest. It's a quiet and secluded gem. In the mornings, you might spot monkeys visiting, and you can enjoy searching for hermit crabs and small conch shells on the beach. The breakfast is extensive, and both the dinner buffet and Italian restaurant options are excellent – you can't go wrong with either. It's also within walking distance of Oriental Village and the cable car. We highly recommend this hotel; it's an absolute perfect getaway.

This hotel met almost all my expectations for a seaside resort, it was fantastic! The swimming pool and gym are both free. When booking, I chose the option with two buffet meals a day. If I was hungry at lunchtime, I'd go to the Italian restaurant by the beach (didn't try the Yunnan restaurant). They made tiramisu fresh on the spot, which was a real treat! There was also a show on one of the evenings.

This Hilton resort, newly opened in April '26, offers excellent value for money compared to the Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons on the island, at less than half the price! It's located near Oriental Village, a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport. Getting to Cenang Beach takes about half an hour by taxi from the hotel, but honestly, once you've seen Cenang, you probably won't want to leave the resort anyway. The hotel boasts a gorgeous beach-style swimming pool, and the private beach is also large, beautiful, and very clean! The pool is divided into a children's pool and a family pool. There are sun loungers both by the pool and on the beach. I felt like I spent half my time just lounging by the pool! There are three restaurants at the hotel. The breakfast restaurant, Ginger Fire, is on the ground floor. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but the ingredients are fresh and quite good! There's also an Italian restaurant and a Chinese restaurant. I tried the Italian place, which mainly served pizzas, risottos, and pasta. It wasn't particularly amazing, but not bad either. I didn't try the Chinese restaurant. The hotel gym is pretty good, with excellent equipment, even a Pilates reformer. I went every morning around 7 AM and it was practically empty. The hotel also offers some activities, like beach stretching at 7 AM (though the instructor seemed like some random guy, very unprofessional, more about setting a mood). I didn't join other activities, but it felt like most guests here just relaxed by the pool, doing their own thing. Since it's newly opened and hasn't been heavily promoted in China, we encountered very few Chinese tourists, which probably explains why the prices haven't been inflated yet. The transportation here isn't the most convenient, but honestly, the main beach area in Langkawi or Kuah Town can be quite dirty and run-down. So, being a bit secluded with fewer people and beautiful scenery is actually quite nice! The hotel is new, and there are plenty of staff who are generally friendly, but some service details still need improvement. For example, there's no non-slip mat in the bathroom, and the front desk sometimes messes up booking information (e.g., they told me my booking was for two people when I had paid for three breakfasts, and I had to show them my confirmation!). Regarding bookings: I received two different responses via email about children staying at the hotel! One email said that for a 13-year-old child, it would be an additional 150 MYR (including an extra bed and breakfast, and the price was the same even without an extra bed). Another email replied that a 13-year-old child could stay for free, only needing to pay for the child's breakfast. In the end, I booked through a travel platform, directly reserving for three people with breakfast but no extra bed. Perhaps the new hotel is still figuring things out themselves! #Langkawi #Hilton #Malaysia #IslandGetaway

This is a very new hotel, and the environment and facilities are exceptional. The private beach is also great, with few people, making it perfect for a vacation. The breakfast is delicious with a wide variety of choices, suitable for all tastes. The hotel area is quite secluded, so you'll need to take a taxi if you want to visit attractions.

The hotel is new, clean, and beautiful. I definitely recommend it and would love to come back again! There are 3 restaurants, a spa, a kids' club, and a pool on the premises. Breakfast until 11 AM was a big plus for us! Everything in the room was perfect: bathrobes, two types of slippers (one for the beach or city, the other for the room), plenty of different towels, and all the bathroom amenities. Everything was there! A bag for going to the beach too 👍

The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful; they even upgraded our room to one with sunbeds and a terrace for our honeymoon, which we greatly appreciated. The hotel is new and clean, and the breakfasts are decent, offering everything you'd expect for a European breakfast (omelets, cheeses, fruits, pastries – all good quality). The hotel also has an excellent spa that I highly recommend. They have a separate bungalow for massages with its own bathroom, shower, and terrace. The prices are reasonable, and the massage was superb (and I speak from experience). There are two fantastic, new tennis courts at the hotel. The beach is clean and spacious, with easy entry into the water and no big waves, making it perfect for families with children. The hotel also caters to adults with an 'adults-only' pool area (a quiet, lovely spot with a good menu). The staff there are responsive and attentive. Highly recommended!
