PANGKOR LAUT RESORT, MALAYSIA

A REAL CASTAWAY EXPERIENCE

Set on a private, jungle-clad island three miles off Malaysia’s west coast, a stay at Pangkor Laut Resort is a real castaway experience.

The only property on the island, Pangkor Laut feels blissfully isolated in the midst of wild rainforest, tranquil sandy beaches and a turquoise sea. Accommodation comprises a series of exquisite villas, some perched high amongst the hills with stunning views over the Straits of Malacca, and others immersed in the leafy shade of the resort’s tropical gardens. Not forgetting a scattering of villas that rest on stilts above the warm waters of the Andaman Sea.

Days can be spent soaking up the sun next to the ocean-side pool or trekking through the two-million-year-old rainforest with the resident naturalist. You can take to the water on a chartered cruise, explore Squid Bay and go swimming at beautiful Emerald Bay Beach. The spa here is considered one of Asia’s finest, whilst the dining experience across the resort’s four restaurants is world-class.
