IKHLAS Magazine
Ikhlas is the in-house magazine of The Datai Langkawi. It covers a wide range of topics across its editorial sections, offering insights into life, history and the rich culture of Malaysia. Each issue highlights in-house as well as local talent in such sections as Creative Minds, Our People, Wellness, and In The Kitchen. In the Travel section, we focus on Malaysia’s popular destinations but also the hidden travel gems, from Penang, to Mount Kinabalu, to the best diving spots, and the historic Peranakan culture.
The magazine also includes sections covering design and architecture, artisanal crafts and style, community work and environmental sustainability with a special highlight on the people, partners and initiatives under The Datai Pledge - all of which tap into the DNA of The Datai Langkawi.
