The Pangkor Laut Resort
Internationally acclaimed Pangkor Laut is a private island, minimally developed to retain the ecology while providing a luxury visitor experience. Stay in a wooden bungalow in the rain forest gardens or on an oceanfront hill. Choose a sea villa on stilts over the lagoon, accessed by a wooden walkway. A few spa villas link overwater rooms directly to the resort's spa. A resident naturalist leads a daily trek through the rain forest. Yoga, tai chi chuan and batik painting classes are offered for free, while sailboats and yachts can be chartered for private island dining and fishing expeditions, snorkeling tours, golfing and cruises in the Straits of Malacca. World-class dining and customized wedding and honeymoon packages are available. You can even plant a tree to commemorate your special occasion.
