The Malay concept of sucimurni - an emphasis on purity of spirit, health and wellbeing - feeds this elegant sanctuary on the east coast of Malaysia, and ultimately nourishes its guests.
Sleep comes easy here. Furnished in local timber and rich fabrics, every room commands a view of either the South China Sea or tropical gardens. Designed to reflect the elegance and grandeur of 17th century Malay palaces, 98 rooms are divided into three types - upstairs Bumbung, downstairs Serambi, with private verandah and semi-detached Anjung with outdoor baths. Nesting above the river waters, the best suite - the Anjung - has a dining hall with its own bar and powder room. In the bedroom waits a king-sized bed, writing desk and sunken bath.
At the Spa Village, guests are welcomed with unique restorative Malay treatments, been handed down from generation to generation, and part with a beautiful batik sarong. A gift. Each day a ringing bell at noon signals the arrival of the day's catch, best savoured gazing out to sea at the Nelayan, under the shade of palms at Teratai Terrace, or over the river on the timber balcony at Di Atas Sungei. Nearby is some of the finest diving and snorkeling in the world at Pulau Tenggol, one of Malaysia's most serene islands, (Mar-Oct).

Discover the sublime sleep of kings. Evenings garlanded by the perfume of lush gardens, lulled by the soft sighs of gentle waves, enchanted by the intoxicating glow of a midnight moon. Sleep comes easy here. Furnished in local timber and rich fabrics, every room commands a view of the South China Sea. Each one is a celebration of royal luxury.
These 44 rooms are situated above the Serambi Rooms and are similar in size and furnishings, with windows that open out to a magnificent view of the ocean and gardens.
Situated on the ground floor of two-storey buildings, there are 44 rooms in all. Each room features a king-size bed and a spacious indoor bathroom with two vanity units, separate bath and shower facilities. A partially covered verandah overlooks the tropical gardens and is perfect for a private barbeque dinner.
Guests are welcomed with the famed Roselle drink, made from the extract of Hibiscus flowers - the same ingredient used in the secret recipe for Roselle chicken. Each day the ringing bell at noon signals the arrival of the day's catch. In Tanjong Jara, the fare on offer is matched in variety only by the settings where you savour your meal. Gazing out to sea at the Nelayan, under the shade of rustling palms at Teratai Terrace or over the meandering river at Di Atas Sungei.
Teratai Terrace - Steamboat, Asia's most popular dining style, is served during dinner. Tender meat, fresh fish, seafood and a variety of garden fresh vegetables are steeped in a savoury simmering broth providing an authentic taste of the region. Enjoy pre-dinner or after-dinner drinks to the soothing sounds of Gamelan music and the cool breeze from the sea.
Di Atas Sungei - 'Di Atas Sungei' is Malay for 'Above The River' so guests will find it easy to spot this restaurant which literally sits above a river that flows into the South China Sea. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, and shaded by a huge Ketapang tree, the restaurant opens for breakfast and dinner, and serves authentic Malaysian cuisine.
The Nelayan - 'Nelayan' in the Malay language means 'Fisherman'. Befitting the restaurant's name, seafood is the speciality of this outlet. Situated by the sea, the atmosphere at The Nelayan is relaxed and informal. A variety of local and Western light meals are served for lunch and the Resort's own fishermen bring in the catch of the day for dinner. Weather permitting, guests have the option of enjoying a delightful alfresco dining experience on the beach featuring bamboo torches and the gentle sound of the waves.
Culture is an integral part of the Tanjong Jara experience, and this is manifested in many ways. There is a myriad of cultural experiences that guests can enjoy, providing a personal insight into the way of life in this part of South East Asia. An important part of this experience is the unique cooking school at the resort, which applies the wholesomeness and purity of the concept of Sucimurni. While on vacation, guests can enjoy cooking lessons which will introduce them to the creative culinary arts of the Malay, Chinese and Indian residents of the Malaysian archipelago. You can take a cruise, trek through jungle, discover village paths on bicycle or explore the reefs off Tenggol island, one of Asia's best kept dive secrets. Immersing oneself in nature's bounty at Tanjong Jara is recommended as there are a number of jungle walks, river cruises and nature discussions led by a resident naturalist.
The resort provides its guests with a whole host of facilities, guaranteed to enhance your visit and ensure that it is as relaxing and stress free as possible.
Surrounded by ancient rainforest, white sand beaches and an emerald sea, Pangkor Laut Resort lies on the private island after which it's named.
