Four Seasons Rhu Bar Langkawi
The Rhu Bar at the Four Seasons Resort in Langkawi is one of those places everyone dreams about for the perfect holiday: lounging on a daybed, sipping cocktails, and watching the sunset over the Andaman Sea.
Four Seasons Rhu Bar Langkawi
Located at Tanjung Rhu in Langkawi Island, Malaysia, this is an exclusive resort that not many people get a chance to visit unless they have deep pockets. The architecture is a fantastic mix of Asian, Indian, and Arabic styles; when you step inside, you will feel like you are in a different part of the world.
The main entrance of the bar.The Rhu Bar is in a stand-alone building at the Four Seasons and is one of the most beautiful lounges I have ever been to. Based on rich Middle Eastern design and architecture, it is also known as the ‘Arabian Knights’ lounge.
The Bar – Outside seating.Sitting around the Rhu Bar will remind you of Aladdin, as almost every detail is perfect. The rich colours, textures and large glowing fire lamps add a beautiful mood, especially in the evenings for romantic couples.
Once the sun goes down here, you will see the place come alive with extraordinary colours. The Asian fusion chill-out music played will also compliment your evening, therefore a memorable experience if you are having a honeymoon or romantic holiday here.
A giant Mogul hanging swingThe Mogul Hanging Swings are not to be missed as these huge wooden swings, complimented with colourful cushions and suspended by steel cables, can easily seat four people.
One of the highlights of the Mogul swing is experiencing a Langkawi sunset with a cocktail while gently swinging here. The prominent swing above the beach sand facing the sea would be the ultimate spot to enjoy that picture-perfect evening.
Interior of the Rhu BarInside the Rhu Bar, the Middle Eastern ambience is intensified by intricately designed wall dividers sectioning off the lounge areas. Colourful cushions are stacked on top of wicker sofas, and they look perfectly placed for your comfort. Flowering orchids are strategically placed around the bar, which gives the place even more colour and life.
Middle Eastern feel.For afternoon tea, local kueh (Asian snacks) is served with various teas, including imported, regional, and even herbal teas. You can also opt for the unique meze menu they have.
Some of the desserts available are “Genovese Di Pesca E Polenta Con Gelato Alla Mandorla”—peach Upside–down Cake with Almond Ice Cream—and “Cannoli Alla Siciliana con Composta Di Ciliege”—ricotta–cheese–filled Sicilian Cannoli with Cherry Compote.
Some snacks available are Pita and Papadom Chips with Hummus, Cucumber Raita, and Lollipop Chicken with Chili Sauce. These snacks and desserts are available from 3 pm to 12 midnight.
The best spot to sunset watch.
For after-dinner drinks, the bar carries uniquely designed cocktails, house specials, and old favourites. They have a selection of lagers for beer lovers and speciality malts for whiskey drinkers. Do try the house speciality ‘Sunset At Rhu’ while enjoying the view of the sun going down on the Andaman Sea.
The Rhu Bar Wine selection.The wine list here is also awe-inspiring and extensive, with an outstanding collection of red, white, and many other wines to suit your taste. Not forgetting, they also have a great selection of Champagnes available—a pool table in one of the sectioned rooms for guests who want to shoot some pool there.
Finally, nothing completes your holiday at the Four Seasons without spending a beautiful evening at the Rhu Bar sipping cocktails, having a bottle of wine, and enjoying the sunset.
I would call this the perfect honeymoon place. To top it off, when you walk into this place, the servers already know your name, and you will be stunned when they greet you by name.
On a side note, the place is pretty quiet and peaceful. You will not see running kids or local families taking loud music here, as the Four Seasons is not a typical holiday resort.
Prices start from an amazing RM1,850.00 (US$530.00) per couple for the cheapest room, while the Royal Villa is RM20,460 (US$5,845) at the time of writing.
The beauty of this is that the rates are only for the room or villas. Everything else is charged. For example, breakfast is charged and so on.
