Of the island’s 300 acres, only a fraction has been developed encompassing a luxury resort and the award-winning Spa Village. Surrounded by pristine beaches, secluded coves and romantic hideaways your private island experience starts from the moment you arrive on a luxury motor yacht and enter the enchanting ambience of a 2 million year old rainforest. The owner’s commitment to preserving this extraordinary island is evident in how the wooden buildings blend into the forest with the minimum of disturbance to the fauna and flora. Accessible only by private vehicle to an exclusive cove, are the eight private Estates of Pangkor Laut, which are available for rental. Three Beach Estates rest on the beautiful waterfront of Marina Bay with direct access to a private beach. Five Estates are thoughtfully located along the hillside, overlooking the sea and offering outstanding privacy. Each Estate is set within its own tropical landscaped garden with a series of individual pavilions that are styled on Malaysian architecture and its rich heritage, allowing guests to recapture the peace, tranquillity and luxury of an age gone-by. Each Estate offers pavilions for resting, living, dining, bathing as well as bedroom pavilions with en-suite bathroom. A private swimming pool and spacious sundeck completes the picture of a truly exclusive example of private Estate living.

  • Pangkor Island in Malaysia
    Pangkor Island in Malaysia Pangkor Island is referred as 'Pang Ko', meaning a 'Beautiful Island.' Ravishingly fresh sea beaches, soothing sound of waves mildly hitting the shore, gentle and aromatic breeze under the mellow sun, and different shades of blue are what a traveler associates with the Pangkor Island – a territory owned by Malaysia. This tropical island near the western coast of the country is a picture-perfect destination with white sandy beaches and lush green forest doubling up the fun. It's not without reason that the Pangkor Island is also referred as 'Pang Ko', meaning a 'Beautiful Island.' Apart from the sun, sand, and sea, this sleepy island gives you the reason to be carefree. History The Pangkor Island was a territory owned and inhabited by sea pirates and local fishermen. It has also been a British and a Dutch colony. The Tiger Rock on the island is where a fort was built in the latter half of the 17 th century by the Dutch colonizers to take control of the tin business and put off threats from the locals and the pirates. The British named the place as 'Monkey Island', which later came to be known as Pulau Aman (meaning peaceful island), and eventually, as Pangkor Island. Pangkor Island Attractions & Activities 1.) Pangkor Island's most popular beaches – Teluk Nipah and Pasir Bogak – are the perfect hotspots for indulging in activities. Go fishing with the locals and accept the challenge of trying snorkeling, scuba diving, and wind surfing. The operators around these beaches offer good deals for jet skiing and Banana Boat rides.
