A decade ago, The St. Regis Langkawi welcomed its first guests to the tranquil shores of Langkawi, introducing a new benchmark for luxury hospitality on the island. Ten years later, the award-winning resort celebrated this remarkable milestone with an exclusive anniversary event aptly themed “A Decade of Exquisite Moments” — a tribute to ten years of refined luxury, personalised service and unforgettable guest experiences.
Held against the stunning backdrop of the Andaman Sea, the anniversary celebration brought together invited guests, partners and industry tastemakers for an evening that reflected the timeless glamour synonymous with the St. Regis brand. The event featured an exclusive seven-course dining experience at the resort’s signature Kayuputi restaurant, paired with selections by acclaimed French drinkmaker Pascal Jolivet, alongside signature St. Regis rituals, cultural performances and a spectacular beachfront fireworks display.
Since opening in 2016, The St. Regis Langkawi has established itself as one of Malaysia’s most prestigious luxury resorts. Home to 85 elegantly appointed rooms and suites as well as four overwater villas, the property seamlessly blends the legendary traditions of the St. Regis brand with the natural beauty, heritage and culture of Langkawi.
Over the years, the resort has earned numerous accolades and industry recognitions, including prestigious Trip.com Asia 100 honours and the ASEAN Spa Service Standard recognition. Beyond luxury hospitality, The St. Regis Langkawi has also strengthened its commitment towards sustainability through initiatives such as its Green Hotel Certification from Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and its collaboration with BoomGrow, which promotes sustainable and hyper-local sourcing for its culinary offerings.
The resort has also continued to evolve its luxury lifestyle positioning through collaborations with globally recognised brands such as Vilebrequin, while consistently introducing new experiences for discerning travellers.
A major focus of the anniversary celebration was the next chapter of Kayuputi, the resort’s acclaimed fine dining restaurant. Under the leadership of Chef de Cuisine Marco Portal, Kayuputi is embarking on a refreshed culinary direction centred on contemporary refinement and destination-inspired storytelling.
Already recognised as one of Malaysia’s leading dining destinations, Kayuputi has built a strong reputation through its celebrated Gastronomy Series, which has welcomed renowned culinary establishments including Michelin-starred HAOMA Bangkok, Lerouy Singapore and ESA Jakarta.
According to General Manager Derek Gomez, the resort’s journey over the past decade has been defined by creating meaningful moments for guests from around the world while contributing to Langkawi’s growing reputation as a luxury destination.
As The St. Regis Langkawi enters its second decade, the resort remains committed to elevating luxury hospitality, world-class gastronomy and culturally inspired guest experiences while embracing innovation and sustainability. It is a vision that promises to ensure the next ten years will be every bit as memorable as the first.
From its iconic overwater villas and award-winning dining experiences to its dedication towards personalised service and destination-led luxury, The St. Regis Langkawi‘s tenth anniversary is not merely a celebration of the past — it is a confident statement about the future of luxury hospitality in Langkawi.
