OVERVIEW
Ranis Lodge is an enchanting rural retreat tucked away at the foothills of Bukit Sawak Forest Reserve. We sought to create a warm and genuine destination, to provide our guests a true sense of a home away from home.
Our rural location is ideal for nature lovers and anyone who loves peace and tranquility. The elevated hillside setting affords stunning panoramic views of the surrounding hills, paddy fields and misty mornings.
Welcome to our home.
THE SPACE
Ranis Lodge consists of 5 individual lodges set on 5 acres of undulating terrain. It is a gem off the beaten track, away from the hectic tourist areas, built with love on a foothill surrounded by nature.
We serve breakfast 6 days a week excluding Saturdays for donations. Please join us for breakfast and support us for charity with donations. 100% of donations are distributed to charity for the underprivileged families.
Our guests have access to a shared infinity pool, a Hangout area, our grounds and garden, a parking area and The Balai.
Rumah ALONG is the first of our 5 lodges and is the closest to the pool.
It is a one bedroom lodge with a king size bed, living room with integrated kitchen, indoor bathroom with an outdoor shower and a large terrace with a sun lounger. It offers air condition in the bedroom with ceiling fans in the bedroom, living room and terrace. Total space is approximately 57 square meters.
The contemporary design respects simplicity and functionality without compromise on luxury and comfort.
Its elevated location affords a wonderful view of the paddy fields, the surrounding hills, a pool view and the beautiful green undulating sloping terrain with mature trees and flower beds. On clear days, you are treated to amazing sunrises/sunsets and misty mornings.
Do note that you need transportation for our location. There is no public transport in Langkawi, having your own transportation will provide the greatest flexibility to explore the island.
