Learn the History of One of the Top Restaurants in Langkawi

Recognized among the top restaurants in Langkawi, Kayuputi is driven by a passion for exceptional cuisine, thoughtful design, and genuine hospitality. Our approach to Langkawi dining is rooted in creating memorable experiences—where every detail, from the open-air setting to the carefully curated menu, is designed to elevate each guest’s journey.

Designed by world-renowned architect Bill Bensley, Kayuputi evokes the sensuous luxury of an intimate overwater retreat. Predominantly styled in white and neutral hues, the space features remarkable antique elements, including century-old wooden doors and windows repurposed from the former Dutch embassy in Yangon, teak columns inlaid with camel bone from India, and ocean-inspired design accents throughout. Conceived as an art collector’s house shimmering above the sea, Kayuputi is a mythical siren’s call—inviting gourmands on a fantastical culinary escape far removed from the ordinary.
