Radiant blue skies, shimmering white sand beaches and the gentle rush of waves rolling ashore greet you with the inviting call of the tropics as you enter Pangkor Laut Resort. Nestled on a tiny private island in the Straits of Malacca, just off Malaysia's western coast, this fabulous retreat welcomes you to enjoy warm comfort in the lap of luxury. The private villas here are situated either amidst the island's lush forests — looking out from the hilltops — or over the sea itself where guests instantly feel aloft from the cares of the everyday world. Spacious and airy, each room allows the natural beauty of the island to flow throughout, with outdoor baths opening to the sea, large balconies perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and plush beds for each evening. At Pangkor Laut Resort enjoy the true beauty of Malaysia and the soothing ambiance of the sea.

What a wonderful experience! Really enjoyed a relaxed couple of days on the island. We stayed on weekdays and it definitely felt more relaxed and quiet. We even got to enjoy a private sunset boat ride alone as we were the only ones that had booked it. During our stay, there was a lot of smoke haze from wild fires in Indonesia however it didn't impact on the beauty of the island and we still got some great shots of the sunset. Wherever we ate on the island, the food was amazing whether you were after Malaysian, Asian or Western cuisine. The cocktails were also fantastic and the happy hour specials were up there with the best you'll find (the Mojito's at the Chapman Bar get a particular high-five). The resort was incredibly clean and we would like to acknowledge the cleaners of the Sea Villa's in-particular, especially having to deal with local snakes hanging around. Whilst we were there, the main Lap Pool was closed for repairs, meaning we had access to the Spa Pool. The bar and pool staff in that area were personable, helpful and full of laughs. We had sunbeds and towels provided and the offer of a delicious refreshment on a hot day, to which we happily obliged. The staff throughout the resort were very attentive during our stay. We had particularly lovely interactions with THT, who was our server on the Sunset Tour, and who took the time to remember conversations we had previous days to enhance our experience. His attentiveness, personality and interest in ensuring we had a great experiences was appreciated and we fondly look back at those moments. Possibly due to it being more quiet, the shuttle bus around the island was very efficient and drivers happily took you wherever needed. I would also HIGHLY recommend the airport transfer if coming from KL/KLIA (and vice-versa). The 'express bus' has more stops than advertised and took almost 2 hours longer (5-hours total) to arrive to a bus depot with limited transport options, which caused concern about missing the boat to the island. We decided on an airport transfer back to KLIA from the resort, and we arrived in half the time in comfort. Cannot wait to come back!

Absolutely fantastic property, so beautiful and the food is fantastic. All of the staff are amazing and so attentive, special mention to Mizan and Apon who made our stay even better.

Again a nice stay at Pangkor Laut. The service is first class. Ram from the bar at Emerald Bay is a very good examble for the high service level. I have to say that the resort is showing its age, some staircases are rotten, there are holes in the roof. The resort needs a general upgrade. It was a little disapointing that dinner in Feast Village was not buffet. The food was good in Feast Village, we tried Uncle Lims, that was not as good as in Feast Village
