There’s something about staying in a place that’s laid-back, secluded and in many ways, basic. But all at once, one where you can also have the grandest times even without exerting a lot of energy. Langkawi, an island located in the west coast of Malaysia, seemed like a promising destination when we suddenly craved for such experience while on a trip in the country. It didn’t take us very long to find and decide to book a suitable accommodation, called the Lavigo Resort, that’s close to the airport so we could go right ahead to enjoying our stay.
Although not as high-end as other known resorts in the rest of the area, Lavigo hooked us with its remote yet seemingly liberating atmosphere. We were impressed with how booking a room went smoothly, and how we were managed direct from our arrival. It felt like we were in this incredibly exclusive and expensive hotel, but really, the rooms are very affordable and good for the entire family! The place exuded a raw yet comforting feeling that we knew we’d be in good hands while on our trip in paradise.
Double Room with Shared Bathroom
Standard yet clean and refreshing to the eyes, the room measures 160 sq ft and accommodates up to two persons who will share a comfortable queen sized bed. It also has a desk, television, ceiling fan as well as air-conditioner.
Standard Double Room
Enjoy your own bathroom, a king sized bed and a slightly bigger room space. A dramatic lighting can help set the mood for the holiday, accompanied by a television and a mini-fridge to keep you filled up any time of the day.
Standard Twin Room
Getting a room for two while still keeping your own sleeping place is made possible with this 200 sq ft haven. You can choose between a king sized bed or two twin beds to fit you and your companion’s preferences.
Deluxe Double Room
Vibrant hues accentuate the clean white corners of the room, giving it a much modern vibe. Guests can take advantage of the 240 sq ft room size, a humongous king bed and the room’s close distance from the resort’s swimming pool.
Bungalow Couple
It’s not a tropical vacation without a real taste of the sunshine, and you can start by staying in the bungalow category which has a patio door opening to the outside area. A romantically made king size bed with swan-shaped towels and passion red linens will make your stay even more dramatic.
Standard Family
Two king beds await any family who chooses this room category. At 250 sq ft, everyone can enjoy a time to reconnect with one another while perhaps watching your favourite shows on the flat screen television and munching on some delights straight from the mini fridge.
Family Terrace
Any getaway can only get better when there’s a pool area right in front of your room, which is exactly what this category is all about. The spacious room featuring two queen beds also has a connecting door leading to the next room, which allows for bigger families to stay in touch.
Superior Family Room
Feel the comfort of living in a simplistic 270 sq ft space fit for any family or friends of four. Located just a few metres from the innovative pool area, guests will be able to extend the fun conveniently without the hassle of navigating around huge and complex grounds.
Deluxe Family Room
Style elevates in this 250 sq ft room highlighted by king sized beds, a see-through window and room compliments including an electric kettle, coffee packs, hairdryer and a connecting door to the next room. Get comfy while basking in the outdoor breeze as you sit on chairs set in front of the room or feel free to enjoy the pool just outside.
Superior Deluxe Family Room
Now you can really feel the warmth of having your entire family with you by staying in the 300 sq ft accommodation that almost mimics the idea of a resthouse. With two double beds and another queen bed tucked in an extra room, the entire room can take in as many as six guests. After the day’s activities, refresh in its deluxe bathroom that has enough free towels for everyone to use during the stay.
Standard Triple Room
The 210 sq ft Standard Triple Room is perfect for a small group of three who prefer staying in one room instead of resorting to dorm rooms. One king sized bed and a single bed are provided as well as all the other amenities from other rooms, such as a mini fridge, television and wireless internet.
Standard Quintuple
Another room recommended for families of six is the 270 sq ft category which consists of one king sized bed, one queen bed and two single beds. Like all others, it is smoke-free and equipped with both air-conditioning and ceiling fan, a television for added entertainment and a mini-fridge for keeping your holiday cravings.
Channel your inner kids at the swimming pool
The pool area is accessible to everyone at the resort, especially to guests staying in bungalows which are located just around the pool. Its dominating blue colours are inviting to the eyes and certainly gives that tropical feel to your holiday. Large animal lifebuoys afloat for you to enjoy on your own or your children if you’ve brought them along with you. A colourful swing can also be found just beside the pool.
Reconnect or simply relax at the resort grounds
The grounds of the resort feature Kampung-style gazebos which make for the perfect setting for a lazy afternoon where you can just read a book or lay down on a hammock, or simply experience sleeping outside your room. A nearby pavilion along with other chairs and tables out in the sun can also serve as places to chat with your companions or eat some takeaway food.
Make your vacation even more memorable with trusted guest services
To help you plan your stay in the island, a tour desk is provided by the resort. A convenience shop is also readily accessible for basic purchases without you dragging yourself out of the resort unnecessarily. Furthermore, the shop lets you rent motorcycles or cars so you can explore the rest of the island freely and affordably.

Warmth of a family
True to its purpose of serving as a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Lavigo Resort grounds as well as its buildings are designed in such a way that make you feel like you’re really away from it all.

That about saves a considerable amount of energy for you to enjoy other activities or loosen up more.
Lavigo Resort just opened back in April of 2016, which makes it practically a baby in the industry.

With that fact, Lavigo Resort proves to be an easy destination for families going on a vacation and budget travellers who are looking for a less expensive place to stay but do not want to compromise in terms of genuine service and cordiality.

Lavigo Resort is located in Pantai Cenang, Jalan Kuala Muda in the Langkawi archipelago in the Andaman Sea. It is around a five-minute drive from the Langkawi International Airport, which can best be accessed by flying for a little over an hour from Kuala Lumpur. Guests can also choose to access it by road or rail up to the town of Kuala Perlis, from where they can take a ferry ride to Langkawi which will take as short as one hour and 15 minutes, the shortest and cheapest of all the ferry routes.
Being close to the airport usually has its drawbacks, such as too much noise from airplanes landing and taking off, but not for Lavigo Resort. In fact, the resort makes up even further by also having several of the island’s attractions nearby, including Elephant Adventures, Tiger! Tiger! Langkawi, Crocodile Adventureland and Taman Buaya for those who like close encounter with local wildlife.
Guests who need a little bit of adrenaline or a day’s adventure can visit the MORAC International Karting Circuit right beside the resort. They can also add in some height by booking a helicopter tour at the Langkawi Outpost Helipad, explore the outlying islands with Island Hopping Langkawi with Ana and ride on a zip-line at the Umgawa Legendary EcoAdventures. Otherwise, they can just choose to chill by Cenang Beach which is a couple of kilometres from the resort.
For more arts, recreation or history, some nearby destinations to consider include Makam Mahsuri, Art in Paradise and Cenang Mall. Around the resort, you will also find three restaurants serving Malaysian, Indian and Thai dishes.
