Bottom Line

The 34-room Casa del Mar is an upscale Spanish-style property on Pantai Cenang beach -- near shops, restaurants, and bars -- offering its guests beachfront picnics and romantic candle-lit dinners. The restaurant and bar serve Mediterranean fare by the beach, outdoor pool, or hot tub. Spa pampering and water sports rentals are available on-site, and the gym offers a shower for guests checking out late. Pleasantly furnished suites include four-poster canopy beds, and some balconies offer sea views. While Casa del Mar is centrally located, the area gets crowded and busy, and travelers seeking a get-away-from-it-all retreat might prefer the Andaman, A Luxury Collection Resort.

Oyster Hotel Review

Casa del Mar, Langkawi

Scene

Four-pearl property with Spanish architecture and direct beach access

On the beachfront in the heart of Pantai Cenang sits the Mediterranean-style, two-story, terra-cotta roof tiled Casa del Mar, Spanish for "home by the sea." An arched wooden doorway leads to the charming lobby, which has a warm and inviting ambience, enhanced by its pitched wooden ceilings and ceramic-tile floors. The grounds have a Mediterranean vibe, with pathways that cut through tropical landscaping and suites with Spanish-style balconies and intricate ironwork on patio gates. At the back of the property, guests have direct access to a beautiful stretch of sand. The homey, intimate atmosphere and central location attract mostly couples and solo travelers.

Location

Situated on busy Pantai Cenang beach, with shopping and dining nearby

The hotel is on the popular Jalan Pantai Cenang, which is lined with restaurants -- Indian, Italian, Malaysian, Mexican venues -- shops, and bars. The area bustles with activities and entertainment. Within a five-minute walk of the hotel is the Underwater World Langkawi, and a few feet from the pool are the sandy shores of Pantai Cenang, which can get crowded. Other attractions are farther, and require driving. The 99 East Golf Club is a 15-minute drive, and the Langkawi Cable Car is a 25-minute drive. Duty-free shopping and the Dataran Lang in Kuah town are within a 30-minute car trip, while Kilim Geoforest Park, on the northeast side of the island, is a 40-minute drive away. Casa del Mar is close to Langkawi International Airport, which is about a 10-minute drive.
