The Frangipani Langkawi Resort
& Spa, Malaysia
The
first Green accommodation in
Langkawi is The Frangipani Langkawi
Resort & Spa, situated along Pantai
Tengah. It features 117 beautifully
decorated rooms, a swimming pool,
an outdoor Jacuzzi, a reflexology path
and various facilities. To help raise
awareness, they offer various eco tours
and information sharing to enlighten
guest on how to live a Green life. The
Frangipani Resort is a fantastic eco hotel
where guests can enjoy beautiful sunsets,
sip on exotic cocktails and enjoy a stress-
free vacationwhile supporting the Green
campaign. Some of their efforts include
turning unused wood into landmark
signage, replacing mosquito repellent
with a homemade organic variety made
of lemongrass juice and rearing guppy
fish in ponds to control mosquitoes. They
also provide smaller meeting rooms to
conserve energy and provide drinking
water in glasses rather than plastic
bottles. Here, we are reminded that every
small effort goes a long way, so when
visiting the golden sands of Langkawi,
check-in Green and check-out happy.
