Pangkor Laut Resort

Gaya Island’s little sister, facing Emerald waters and fringed by white sand beaches, the Pangkor Laut Resort is its own little slice of paradise. Voted 'Number One in the World' by Condé Nast Traveller, this is a little place of heaven on earth. It is the only bit of developed land on the 300-acre island, and even then it feels as if the resort and the surrounding estate have always been features of the land. The wooden building blend seamlessly into the forest, the walls accommodate the mangroves and the buildings have been built around the trees, with roofs that allow them to stretch up into the sky. The respect for nature is at the forefront of the hotel’s operations and it rewards the guests with its beauty and bounty. Cheeky macaques will come for an inquisitive interaction and the pied hornbills will be colourful additions in the trees. Like all great luxury hotels, the Pangkor Laut Resort has a remarkable spa. They don’t just have a spa, however, they have their own spa village. It is a place to go where wellness is a philosophical principle. Healing ingredients and practices come from the land and ancient traditions that have been handed down over centuries. Some of the oldest remedies have the most effective powers, and will deliver you to rejuvenation.
