Pangkor Laut is a privately owned island located three miles off the West Coast of Malaysia in the Straits of Malacca. Situated on this exotic island is the internationally acclaimed Pangkor Laut Resort. Although the island encompasses a total of 300 acres, only a fraction has been developed to house the Resort and its Estates while the rest is covered by lush and unspoiled two million year old rainforest.

The name Pangkor may have originated from the Thai word Pang Ko meaning 'beautiful island'. However others believe it may have been a memorial to Pang Kui, a legendary Chinese adventurer said to have lent his skills in seamanship to the bands of pirates this island once sheltered.

Pangkor's main attractions are undoubtedly the wonderful offerings of its magnificent pristine beaches and warm turquoise water fringed with tall swaying coconut palms.
The paradise isle of Pankor Laut offers exotic accommodations hidden in the hillside, along the beaches and over the water, all surrounded by lush and unspoilt ancient rainforest. Heaven on Earth.
