Tucked away in a rustic century-old coconut plantation and surrounded by lush greenery, Temple Tree Resort Langkawi offers more than just a tropical getaway—it’s an evocative journey into Malaysia’s rich cultural past.
Here, every building has a story, and every experience is designed to connect guests with the country’s vibrant heritage while enjoying modern-day comfort and luxury.
Where Heritage Meets Hospitality
What sets Temple Tree Resort apart is its collection of eight authentic Malaysian heritage houses, each meticulously relocated and restored from different states across the country. From the pink-hued Johor House with its Chinese farmhouse charm, to the grand Colonial House built by Arab goldsmiths in the 1920s, the resort’s 21 rooms and suites each offer a distinct design, story, and soul.
The resort invites guests to take a journey through time, exploring these houses that feature high ceilings, intricate carvings, wooden floorboards, and vintage tiles—elements preserved from their original construction 80 to 120 years ago. It’s a rare chance to sleep within the walls of Malaysia’s past while enjoying plush beds, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and modern amenities.
A Culinary Homage to Malaysian Roots
Dining at Temple Tree is a celebration of flavour and nostalgia. The Paloh Restaurant & Bar, located within the 120-year-old Ipoh House, serves a blend of traditional Malaysian dishes, international staples, and fusion creations. The space itself—with its charming old-world décor and warm atmosphere—adds an extra layer of authenticity to every bite.
For those who crave a more interactive experience, the resort also offers culinary workshops like “Masak-Masak Bersama Chef Anis,” where guests can learn to prepare local favourites such as Ondeh-Ondeh, a beloved Malaysian dessert. And if you’re craving a more romantic setting, the resort’s “Dining Under the Stars” experience offers an intimate four-course Western dinner under Langkawi’s glittering night skies.
Leisure, Exploration, and Culture
Temple Tree is the perfect place to unwind or explore at your own pace. Guests can take a leisurely dip in one of the two resort pools, enjoy a traditional massage at the spa, or stroll through the picturesque grounds that are rich in local flora and heritage architecture.
The resort also encourages creative expression and cultural immersion through unique activities such as the Batik Wrap Challenge and art sessions at the elegant Colonial Hall.
Beyond the resort, Temple Tree’s convenient location allows easy access to Pantai Tengah’s shops or the colourful Fisherman’s Village nearby. Adventurers can also head out for a go-karting session at Morac Adventure Park or explore Langkawi’s mythical side with a magical night walk at Dream Forest, where local legends are brought to life through sound and light.
Mornings Made for Mindfulness
A stay at Temple Tree isn’t complete without taking in the quiet beauty of a Langkawi morning. Guided walks around the resort’s surrounding neighbourhoods offer a glimpse into the local way of life, passing by serene rice fields, traditional wooden homes, and vibrant fishing boats bobbing along the coast. It’s the perfect way to slow down and embrace the tranquil rhythm of island life.
A Destination Wedding Like No Other
Temple Tree is also an unforgettable venue for weddings. With heritage homes as your backdrop, lush tropical greenery all around, and multiple charming event spaces like the Colonial Hall and Paloh Restaurant, couples can say their vows in a truly meaningful setting that blends tradition with romance.
