Pangkor Laut Resort
An exquisite island haven in the Straits of Malacca, surrounded by a 2-million-year-old rainforest, ivory sands, and crystalline waters, Pangkor Laut Resort offers an unparalleled setting for a destination wedding. Nestled within just a fraction of the island’s 300 acres, the resort ensures couples are enveloped in nature’s tranquillity and seclusion. Declared a paradise by the late Pavarotti and previously voted ‘Number One in the World’ by Condé Nast Traveller; here, wooden buildings blend seamlessly into the forest and roofs open up to allow trees to continue on their journey to the sky creating an exclusive sanctuary.
From a chic sunset beach wedding at Emerald Bay to a lantern-lit courtyard wedding in a tropical garden pavilion, or the thrill of exchanging vows aboard a yacht on the open sea, couples can tailor their dream wedding experience. For more intimate celebrations, guests can indulge in the hilltop villas with infinity pools, round-the-clock butler service, and a private chef, ensuring an unforgettable retreat exclusively for their closest loved ones.
