    Different from the usual beachfront establishments in Langkawi, Ambong Rainforest Retreat is a breath of fresh air surrounded by nature. With only 11 units at the retreat, you're in for a private, unforgettable stay in this tranquil space - surrounded by lots of greenery and sounds of nature.

    The units here are quirky and warmly-decorated - many describe them as having the feel and vibe of a luxurious treehouse enveloped by greens! With spacious rooms, high ceilings, open-walled balconies, and views of the ocean right outside - you can literally spend days just relaxing and rejuvenating in this space.

    The Rooms

    Ambong-Ambong's 11 rooms (that consist of studios and suites) are full-sized units that come complete with a kitchen, dining area, and a balcony perched on the hill. You'll find it hard to resist the urge to hop on the comfy four-poster bed in your room! Dressed with mosquito curtains, you can enjoy an undisturbed sleep at night even if you choose to leave the windows open.

    Our favourite part of the room is definitely the outdoor wooden bathtub (*only available in the suite units) which you can soak in with a bubbly glass of champagne or coffee and watch the sun go down. The open-walled balcony is spacious and comfy, complete with rattan deck chairs for you to lounge in and enjoy the gentle ocean breeze with views of lush greens and the Andaman Sea in a distance.
    As Ambong-Ambong is set amidst nature, don't be surprised if some friends pop by to visit at your balcony! Guests have been visited by gentle birds (such as woodpeckers and hornbills) and cheeky monkeys during their stay.
