Home Hotels Pangkor Laut Resort

Pangkor Laut Resort

Add to wishlist Contact us

Pangkor Laut is a private, rainforest-covered island of just under 300 acres. Choose to stay over the water, on the beach or in one of the hillside villas. All 140 rooms and suites are spacious and elegant with either a balcony or terrace and created to blend with the natural environment.

Thick lush jungle covers the interior with trails opening onto white sandy beaches; minibuses are also available to transport guests around the island. Two swimming pools, a spa, tennis courts and a choice of restaurants complete this idyllic retreat, once a regular haunt of Luciano Pavarotti.

Why we like Pangkor Laut Resort

Only a fraction of the island has been developed, leaving much of it as virgin rainforest for the resident hornbills, macaques and lizards.

Facilities

  • Two swimming pools, one adult only and one beachside family pool
  • Beachfront, state of the art fitness centre
  • Spa
  • 18-hole golf course
  • Two tennis courts a short drive away
  • A choice of restaurants

Activities

Water sports range from paddleboarding to kayaking and fishing. The resident naturalist leads daily jungle walks and more holistic activities such as Yoga and Tai Chi are also available as well as cookery classes.

It really helped that Clare and Amy had personal experience of where they were sending me and could describe the experiences and answer a ton of questions. You guys are fantastic.

Malaysia

Steppes helped me recover my lost camera from Kuala Lumpur airport. Fantastic service involving lots of extra work on my behalf, not only collecting it but returning it to my home address.

Malaysia

Clare was brilliant when I was organising my holiday and understood my brief from the word go. Some of my trip was as a lone traveller and she made sure I was well looked after the whole time - every part of my itinerary worked perfectly and was very well organised. All of the guides were excellent with wonderful local knowledge and lots of ideas to keep the itinerary interesting and flexible.
