Datai Bay is a beautiful bay on the northeastern part of Langkawi. The road that leads towards it starts near the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. It passes the Pasir Tengkorak Beach, the Temurun Waterfalls and the man-made Langkawi Waterfall before arriving at Datai Bay. Two five-start resorts dominate the bay, namely the Andaman and the Datai.
From Datai Bay, one can look across the Andaman Sea northwards into Thailand. On the horizon are the islands of Tarutao, such as Koh Adang, Koh Lipe and Koh Tarutao. A sheer mountain range called Gunung Mat Cincang guards Datai Bay from behind. There is a cable car service up this mountain, with the station located on the other side of the mountain range, at Pantai Kok.
