The Hotel & Location

Nestled along Langkawi’s scenic Pantai Cenang, Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa was established in the 1980s as one of the island’s first luxury resorts. Designed to resemble a traditional Malay village, the resort blends heritage with modern comforts. Recently, it has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, with rooms and most common areas already transformed, now boasting bright and elegant beige tones. Its beachfront location offers stunning views of the Andaman Sea, just a short drive from Langkawi International Airport, providing a serene escape close to Cenang’s vibrant attractions.

Nestled along the renowned Cenang Beach on Langkawi Island, the Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa is welcoming you with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Set within 34 acres of lush grounds, including a private kilometer-long stretch of sandy shoreline that seamlessly transitions into the vibrant Cenang Beach, therefore we highly recommend the hotel for those, who are looking a more “urban” environment, where plenty of shops, entertainment and restaurants are within a walking distance. The Meritus Pelangi offers a more local-feel and affordable resort experience compared to the other international brands. Low-rise wooden chalets are scattered throughout the extensive grounds, creating a character and charm reminiscent of a traditional Malay village.

A sea-view fitness suite, steam room, and sauna cater to wellness enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy a range of activities, from squash, tennis, archery, and mini-golf to cycling.

A Club Lounge upgrade, available at an additional fee, provides access to free buffet breakfasts, high tea, evening cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres, as well as all-day hot and cold beverages. The 355 rooms and suites are housed in two-story wooden chalets, each featuring private terraces or balconies with ocean or lake views. Rooms typically have wooden floors, dark-wood furniture, colonial-inspired decor, and nature-themed artworks. The sleek and modern bathrooms come with rainfall showers, deep bathtubs, and luxurious bespoke toiletries. All rooms and suites can accommodate up to four guests, and some offer direct beach access. In-room amenities include minibars, complimentary bottled water, and Wi-Fi. Dining at the Meritus Pelangi is a culinary journey with a wide range of options. The Spice Market restaurant specializes in Chinese, Indian, Malay, Thai, and Nyonya classics. CBA, the beachfront bar and restaurant, offers global dishes with an Asian twist and captivating sunset views. The lobby bar serves tapas, and there's a daytime snack menu at the swim-up pool bar.

Although some seasonal jellyfish may appear, they are generally harmless. Located close to the airport, Pantai Cenang is popular with both locals and tourists, though it's worth noting that there is some vehicle traffic on the beach.
