Pangkor Laut Resort Spa Village

Pangkor Laut is a beautiful jewel of a small tropical island off the west coast of peninsular Malaysia, covered in luxuriant rainforest and surrounded by attractive beaches and inviting seas. It is home to the stunning Pangkor Laut Resort which offers exceptional comfort and personal service, wonderful facilities, delicious ethnic and international cuisine, and where iridescent strutting peacocks may well join you for breakfast. The island calls for leisurely exploration through the rich vegetation: a short journey from the resort through the rainforest takes you to the peaceful and aptly named Emerald Bay.

The Spa Village at Pangkor Laut Resort is a unique retreat that extols the healing cultures of the region and offers a respite from the rest of the world. Malaysia, with its diverse history of peoples and cultures and a vast abundance of natural resources, provides the backdrop for the spa’s health rituals that are amongst the oldest in the world. The abundance of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Thai practices makes this an ideal setting for complete rejuvenation.

Situated to the north of the main resort, the Spa Village is a collection of low buildings and structures, featuring both indoor and open-air spaces, spread over four acres on a quiet bay between the sea and the rainforest. Designed to soothe and refresh the senses, the various buildings face the sea and are interspersed with open courtyards, lotus ponds, a herb garden and a reflexology path.

The spa complex comprises eight treatment pavilions, a deluxe Belian treatment pavilion, "healing huts" which include Chinese, herbal, Ayurvedic and Malay huts, a "wrap house", where the menu changes daily with Ayurvedic, herbal, seaweed and Chinese herbal wraps, two bath houses, three Thai pavilions, three nap gazebos, a herbal garden and a 50-metre lap pool. There is also the Fisherman's Cove Restaurant plus the Jamu Bar, library and spa boutique. Twentytwo brand new spa villas situated over the sea offer direct access to the Spa Village.
