Just across the Straights of Malacca lays the tiny island of Pangkor Laut. This private haven is home to one exclusive resort, reached only by helicopter or yacht. A sweeping shoreline is fringed by verdant rainforest. Clear water laps the sand below dramatic rocky outcrops. Take a stroll around the island or enjoy a round of golf. Then return to your boutique cabin and take in spellbinding views over the bay.
SPA
Overlooking the island’s Coral Bay is the Pangkor Laut Spa Village. This tranquil hideaway is the perfect spot to relax the mind and rejuvenate the body. Traditional Malay, Chinese, Indian and Thai practices draw on the natural resources that surround the spa to provide a complete wellness experience.
WATER
From the cool, clear sea to the perfectly positioned swimming pools, Pangkor Laut has water at its heart. Take a dip off one of the island’s beautiful bays, or relax on the beach and watch the sea lap the shore. Delve beneath the surface to uncover a colourful reef teeming with tropical fish. Or water ski your way along the incredible coastline.
