Best honeymoon resorts: Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia Friday, 2 November 2012 11:39 AM

Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia

Located on a private island three miles off the west coast of Malaysia, Pangkor Laut Resort is the perfect place if

you want a secluded quiet honeymoon in paradisiacal surrounds. Surrounded by pristine beaches and filled with

lush jade forests, the resort is a place where you enjoy both luxurious mod cons and get back to nature.

Honeymooners can choose from luxurious overwater spa or sea villas, featuring baths big enough for two and

private balconies with exquisite views out to sea. The resort also features perfectly placed beach villas; dramatic

hill villas, perched on the hillside in amongst the rainforest; or secluded garden villas with private courtyard and

mystical rainforest views.

And with seven different bars and restaurants on the island, you won’t even have to visit the same place twice.

Enjoy seafood and Italian delights at Fisherman’s Cove, Chinese home cooking at Uncle Lim’s Kitchen or fine

dining South East Asian restaurant, The Straits, among others.

Honeymoon specials

Choose the resort’s special Treasured Moments package for your honeymoon, which includes a specially

designed spa experience for two, a symbolic tree planting ceremony to remember your stay and a personalised

gourmet picnic on a white sand beach.

As part of the package, honeymooners will also get the chance to make their own molten lava chocolate cake

with the assistance of a pastry chef, enjoy a sunset cruise on board an Oriental teakwood junk and a private

romantic dinner on the beach. You will also be treated to a relaxing fragrant lovers’ flower bath whilst sipping on

chilled champagne.

Beyond the bedroom

Most of the island’s 300 acres has not been developed, and has been left to be in a natural state, so there are

plenty of opportunities for jungle trekking and wildlife spotting. Among the animals you’ll spot here are anteaters,

monkeys, bats, eagles, kingfishers, butterflies and lizards.

Other activities here involve exploring the waters surrounding the island, on kayak, sail boat, cruise boat, water

skis or fishing boat. There are also plenty of activities at the resort itself, from cooking classes, to Tai Chi lessons,

golf, yoga and learning how to make colourful batiks.

This is true island paradise.
