 Pangkor Laut Resort 

One-of-a-kind private island jungle journey

An exotic hideaway set on an idyllic rainforest-clad island off Malaysia’s west coast.

In the Straits of Malacca sits a privately owned 300-acre island exclusively home to Pangkor Laut Resort. It’s a paradise of palm trees, wildlife and white sands, where restaurants serve fresh seafood and an infinity pool almost drops into the sea. There are holistic treatments in the cocoons of the spa and villas set on stilts over the sea.

Why we love Pangkor Laut Resort

  • A tiny dot on the map, this privately owned island is only accessible to guests.

  • Swimming in Emerald Bay’s crystal-clear waters.

  • The treks through thick green rainforest interior with a resident naturalist.

  • The indulgent Spa Village with its Japanese bathhouse, Shanghai scrubs and Ayurvedic huts.

A unique four-acre retreat that honours the healing cultures of the region, the Spa Village Pangkor Laut creates wellness programmes that combine physical and spiritual health and wellbeing, and are based on one of four concepts: Rejuvenation and Longevity, Relaxation and Stress Reduction, Detoxification and Romance. This is one of the best spas in Malaysia, but don't just take our word for it - it's received a wide range of awards from the likes of Condé Nast Traveller and CNNgo.

Every spa treatment begins with a complimentary Bath House Ritual featuring a soothing footbath with a Chinese Foot Pounding experience, traditional Malay 'circulating' bath, Japanese-style cleansing followed by a heated Rotenburu dip, and a Shanghai Scrub. The treatments themselves have been inspired by ancient rituals from China, Thailand, Bali and of course, Malaysia.

The spa is home to eight pavilions where treatments are administered, three healing huts for Malaysian, Chinese and Ayurvedic therapies. If a wellbeing holiday is your focus then we highly recommend choosing one of the overwater Spa Villas which offer direct access to the Spa Village.

Start your day with a yoga session on the Spa Villa deck. For those wanting to keep up their exercise programme there is a gym*, tennis* and squash*. Other activities include jungle treks*, tours of nearby Pangkor or you may prefer to experience the beauty of Pangkor Laut with a sunset cruise around the island.

Take a kayak or paddleboard to explore the coastline or join a boat ride to explore the nearby islands where you can go for a swim and enjoy a gourmet picnic.

Minimum stays apply.

Minimum age 16 in Spa Villas, Sea Villas, Sea Suites and the Fisherman’s Cove Restaurant.

The resort is not recommended for those with walking difficulties.

A tourist tax is payable locally at the resort.
