Pangkor Laut Resort
Set on a private island off the Straits of Malacca, Pangkor Laut Resort is a hidden gem. Nestling in ancient rainforest surrounded by untouched white sand beaches, this is the ultimate retreat from the modern world.
The 142 rooms each provide comfort and elegance and a unique home from home in the tropical forest habitat. In the signature Sea Villas, stood on stilts above the sea and linked by wooden walkways, you can watch tranquil sunsets or breathe in the fresh sea breeze. Set amidst the lush forests and hills are the Garden and Hill Villas, perfect for a secluded experience.
Dining at the resort is a celebration of the flavours unique to the region, in combination with international influences provided by the first class chefs. Choose from a selection of seven restaurants, ranging from fresh seafood and Italian cuisine in the Fishermans Cove to Chinese-style home cooking in Uncle Lim’s Kitchen, set on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. For a romantic evening go down to The Straits, set against the rocks on the beach, where you can gaze upon a starry sky whilst enjoying exotic dining in a beautiful environment.
Spend a day fishing and snorkelling around the Straits of Malacca and its neighbouring islands or book a private cruise on ‘The Impian’ where you can discover the basics of sailing or just sit back and enjoy the remarkable surroundings with a gourmet picnic basket. For the active, golf is available at the 18-hole course in Damai Laut Golf & Country Club, approximately 15 minutes away from Lumut. Indulge in the extensive range of treatments in the Spa Village or let the local naturalist Uncle Yip take you on a walk around the blossoming jungle to tell you about the fascinating flora and wildlife.
