Discreet Development in Luxuriant Langkawi : The Land of All One’s Wishes

‘Con­ser­va­tion means the great­est good to the great­est num­ber for the longest time.’ Thus spake early advo­cate Gif­ford Pin­chot. Then his posi­tion was rad­i­cal, now who would argue with it? Unfor­tu­nately noble aims some­times clash with com­merce, and many a stun­ning nat­ural land­scape has been blighted by insen­si­tive overbuilding.

Described as Malaysia’s best kept secret, Langkawi is an arch­i­pel­ago island sit­u­ated 30km off the west coast of Malaysia, sur­rounded by pris­tine white sand beaches, coral reefs, lime­stone coves and a fur­ther 98 minor islands with crys­tal clear waters. Inland is moun­tain­ous, cov­ered with ancient rain for­est and rid­dled with bat caves and tun­nels. Teem­ing with trop­i­cal flora and fauna, the marine biol­ogy is par­tic­u­larly diverse.

For­tu­nately devel­op­ment on the island has always been strictly con­trolled, more-so now since the area was des­ig­nated a UNESCO World Geop­ark in 2007. Qual­ity real estate on Langkawi is there­fore in very short sup­ply, and is set to be in increas­ing demand because direct flights from major cities like Lon­don are mak­ing the Langkawi expe­ri­ence more accessible

With nat­ural har­mony in mind Malaysia’s lead­ing her­itage archi­tect has designed a small num­ber of exclu­sive vil­las built in a traditional/contemporary Asian style that both blends with the local archi­tec­ture and deliv­ers the ulti­mate in lux­ury liv­ing. To this end indige­nous hard­woods and locally-quarried mar­ble have been used both out­side and in. Prop­er­ties come with pri­vate swim­ming pools, and are appointed to the high­est stan­dards. 7 of these stun­ning vil­las stand within 30,000 m2 of land­scaped gar­dens — all with spec­tac­u­lar views to the sea.
