A city dweller remains a city dweller at heart .When the stars come out ,it's time to party .So where do you head when the sun has set gloriouly into the sea ? What happens when all the duty -free alcohol and cigarattes aren't quite enough ? Those in the know,quests and residents alike,head for Langkawi's purportedly hottest club - Chime .
Stumbling upon Chime is like finding and old friend amidst a sea of strangers - delightfully unexpected.The club is party of the Shareton Langkawi Beach Resort ,which is set in a seaside lush tropical jungle .So instead of harsh stone and glass ,the surroundings are alive with green vegetation ,creating a cool and mysterious air ,like a secret hideaway that no want knows about .Walking down the steps to Chime after a pleasent meal at the resort's Feast Restaurants,the door openand unleash a welcome aural blast with all the energy of typical urban watering holes .Inside,it's an almost paintfully vibrant sight .Bright red bucket chairs gather around little tables,like flowers in full bloom. The wall too a similarly ablaze,which yellow lights swirling around in broken circles for a liqiud,energetic feel.Mood lights splay across the dance floor in myriad colours,shadowing the live band's every move on stage .
Step into the restroom and once again your breath is taken away .In the middle of the shared "foyer,"a leafless plant rises into the air ,straggly and wriggly,a stranger creature glowing under a golden light.The brown curved walls are lined with large brass bells set in mirrored,square grooves that create an almost solemn atmosphere .Opposite is a wall of mirrors where you can ensure that you've got no unightly food stuck in in your teeth and your and your pants is zipped up .Back on the dance floor ,as the bar offering a full compliment of drinks perform magic ( aided by a delicious feeling of being safe from praying eyes back in the city ),DJ Joe takes centrestage ,flipping fader and knobs to get you moving.Playing a head-banging selection of dance ,house and R&B ,the music is irresistibly groovy,and at time stranscendental,possibly inspiring you to lift your lighted lighters into to the air .In this moments,the dance floor,like its name,begins to chime.And when the bells have tolled and you have no more legs left,just next to the club are special gazebos,romantically draped in white sheets .Here on generous sofas ,a gentle breeze blowing in from the Andaman Sea,you can relax and unwind ,laugh and joke,sip wine and watch as the sun once again spreads its golden fingers across the Langkawi sky . ...info from langkawi link |
