Pangkor Laut Resort and Spa Malaysia

Pangkor Laut Resort and Spa Malaysia

By Rachel Newcombe

The tropical island of Pangkor Laut is located just off the West Coast of Malaysia and is home to a luxurious spa.

Set amongst the luscious rain forest and surrounded by stunning coastline, it’s the ideal place to go to completely get away from the stresses and strains of life and indulge in some fantastic pampering.

Guests stay in wonderful wooden villas that are built on stilts at the waterfront. These are blissful in themselves, as they boast private balconies, large bathrooms, air conditioning and fantastic views.

There are also eight estates nearby in a secluded cove, which are particularly popular with celebrity guests who crave peace and quiet.

The Spa Village is spread over four acres and is well equipped and designed to soothe and refresh the senses. Set between the rain forest and the sea, there are eight treatment pavilions, traditional huts, bath houses and several pools.

A wide range of therapies are on offer, including treatments in true Malaysian, Ayurvedic, Chinese, Balinese, Thai and Western style. Depending on the treatment required, it can either be carried out indoors, or outside facing the sea or rain forest.

Amongst the many options is a special deep cleansing facial for men, the indulgent Javanese Lulur treatment and Dinacharya, an Ayurvedic treatment to cleanse the five sensory organs. Couples can enjoy an Ultimate Spa Experience half or full day and relax together, with massages, steam baths, body wraps and even a private yoga session,

For those really wanting to splash out, custom treatment packages lasting seven days or more can be specially designed for you.
