PANGKOR LAUT, MALAYSIA

YTL Hotels’ Pangkor Laut Resort is located on its 300-acre private island off the west coast of Malaysia, comprised of a 2-millionyear-old rainforest and surrounded by whitesand beaches and turquoise waters. Pangkor Laut Resort features overwater villas resting on stilts above the waters of the Strait of Malacca. The villas boast private outdoor verandas with sun loungers and oversized bathtubs that look out over the water.

The resort also features The Estates, which are nestled on the northern part of the island within the jungle. The Estates are reminiscent of the romantic lifestyle of a British estate manager of old Malaya, where guests can enjoy the colossal, natural arboretum that surrounds them.

The eight private estates feature their own living and dining pavilions, a personal butler and chauffeur-driven car, and a private plunge pool with breathtaking views of the serene landscape.

The Suria and Purnama suites stand on stilts over the sea. They feature an entrance hall, a separate bedroom, an elegant lounge with a television, balconies for sunbathing, and a spacious bathroom with windows that offer beautiful views of the sea from the oversized bathtub.
