Located just beyond Pantai Pasir Hitam, Tanjung Rhu has one of Langkawi’s best shorelines. The waters are as clear as crystal, the sand is powder-fine and driving towards this beach you’ll have to pass a dense corridor of jungle. The area is absolutely secluded and the atmosphere is silent and peaceful. Bordered by intermittent limestone crags, Tanjung Rhu is gorgeously breathtaking and even though it may be as hot as Hades in some of the other areas of Langkawi, here the air is crisp, clean and cool.
There are a few roadside stalls selling Langkawi’s local favourite – mee gulung – but other than that the area is quiet. Featuring clean roads, this quarter of Langkawi Island is the domicile of the Tanjung Rhu Resort as well as the Four Seasons Resort and the well-heeled tend to gravitate here.
Tanjung Rhu is not a particularly large area of Langkawi: this quiet beachfront is reserved for guests of the high end resorts housed here. If you are a guest you can enjoy a wide range of recreational programs provided by the resort: highly recommended are the spas around these parts, particularly The Spa set in the five-star Four Seasons Resort and Jiva Rhu spa in Tanjung Rhu Resort.
JivaRhu Spa
Set in a colourful garden, this spa is a serene and secluded sanctuary in Tanjung Rhu Resort. You’ll be welcomed with a health drink at the greeting pavilion as your masseur prepares your spa treatments. This spa also features an ayurvedic consultation room; try the shiatsu or Swedish massage and the coffee-and-salt body scrub.
