Pangkor Laut Resort
One island, one resort. That’s Pangkor Laut’s motto and key to its appeal. The private island resort sits serenely in the Straits of Malacca – a four-hour drive and 20-minute speedboat ride from Kuala Lumpur – and is surrounded by white-sand beaches and two-million-year-old rainforest; the kind of unspoiled natural paradise that it’s hard to believe exists anywhere in the world anymore.
Villas dot the hillsides, line the beach and spread out on stilts into the sea, connected by wooden walkways. They’re all wonderfully spacious, boasting sleek wooden floors, king-size beds, enormous bathtubs and balconies with forest or sea views. For even greater privacy, opt for one of the eight estates, complete with one to four bedrooms, separate living and dining pavilions and private pools with dramatic views.
The extensive Spa Village is one of the finest in Asia, and if that weren’t enough, you’ll find fine-dining restaurants, jungle trails, island-hopping cruises, watersports, yoga, plus plenty of romantic spots for sunsets and sea views.
