We love a luxury escape to the Datai Langkawi! Teeing off at The Els Club Teluk Datai is phenomenal fun. And now you can combine golf and tennis in a sport-themed Southeast Asian vacation.   

The Datai Langkawi, just unveiled its new partnership with LUX Tennis, one of the world’s leading tennis management companies specializing in bespoke coaching programmes for luxury resorts.  

Nestled within the enchanting rainforest surroundings of The Els Club Teluk Datai, the tennis and padel facilities provide the perfect setting for guests to elevate their racket game, refine their skills, compete against a professional, or simply enjoy an exhilarating match.


It’s a collaboration that reflects the resort's dedication to curating exceptional experiences that cater to the diverse range of guests' interests– from those seeking tranquillity in nature to sports enthusiasts looking to stay active while enjoying the unique beauty of our resort.
