Pangkor Laut Island Resort

With its 140 villas scattered over this private island’s 300 acres of pristine jungle; Pangkor Laut Resort is a luxurious property that captures a lavish stay within a low-key feel.

Just three miles off the Malaysia Peninsula or a short flight from Kuala Lumpur, arrive to your private pavilion just a stone’s throw from idyllic beaches and attended to by a very friendly team of staff. Choose from the Spa, Sea, Beach, Hill and Garden category villas as well as a collection of super fine suites. Fusing colonial elegance with ethnic Malay influences and sustainable architecture, staying here manages to feel both localised and luxurious.

The seven different dining locations offer Western and Asian cuisine in both formal and casual settings. Soak up a menu of spa treatments one day, then entertain yourself with a large choice of activities such as daily treks into the rainforest, chartered cruises and plenty of water sports on the next.
