Coconest in Langkawi

Whether you’re opting for a staycay spot with a view of nature or the sea, Malaysia has you covered. When it comes to the latter, Langkawi is a known paradise, with a plethora of beach resorts tucked along pristine sandy shores.

One new staycay option that you’ll find in the Jewel Of Kedah is Coconest. Nestled in Tanjung Rhu, this Airbnb is where you can spend a night cocooned in a unique coconut-shaped pod and wake up to views of the sea right at your doorstep.

Most beach resorts can be found by the sea. But Coconest hovers right above blue waters, on a deck. Uniquely resembling a coconut husk, it gently slumbers over the Andaman Sea, letting you bask in the ocean breeze all in the comfort of a private space.

And while the Airbnb shares space with a glampsite, Cococamp, you’ll have maximum privacy with a door and private deck that faces the sea.

To get here, you’ll have to take a short 5-minute boat ride on arrival and departure, which will be arranged by the Airbnb host. The Airbnb’s secluded location, far from the mainland, pretty much guarantees a night’s stay with little distractions.

With the sea just mere steps from the coconut-shaped pod, you can look forward to taking a refreshing dip in the open sea – simply plunge into the crystal-clear waters whenever you feel like it.

A night’s stay is priced around RM550/per night. While this may sound steep, its one-of-a-kind design and breathtaking location makes it the perfect private hideaway that’s worth every penny.

As the Airbnb is designed to offer a glamping experience rather than a traditional hotel stay, guests are expected to bring their own groceries such as dry items or packet foods. You can make good use of the electric grill, kitchen utensils, and mini-fridge provided by the host.

While the exterior of the retreat is already a sight to behold, the interior of this private glamping spot is equally captivating. Step inside and revel at a delightful contemporary wood furnishings, awash with natural light from large windows and doors.

Powered by a solar system, the pod features a hemisphere-shaped workspace by the window, where you can blend in work with leisure or have your meals indoors without giving up on the view.

The centrepiece of the room is a plush queen-sized bed with a spider-like chandelier overhead, to accommodate up to two guests. Not forgoing the luxuries of a typical hotel stay, there’s an en-suite bathroom with a waterfall shower tucked within the pod.

Outside the room, you’ll find a hammock by the deck. If you’re not cocooning under the blankets indoors, you can laze here and soak in the mesmerising views of the Andaman Sea under the sun’s warm rays.

There’s also a picnic chair and a table on the side, where guests can enjoy uninterrupted time with nature.

As part of your stay, a complimentary meal of nasi lemak for breakfast is served, which you can savour with a warm beverage as packets of tea bags and a coffee machine can be found inside the pod.
