Spa breaks

Pangkor Laut
Malaysia

Pampered on a private island
With million-year-old rainforest and blue sea as a backdrop, you’d need something extraordinary to make you more relaxed. That would be the Spa Village, that features both indoor and open-air spaces, spread over 4 acres on a quiet bay nestled between sea and rainforest. There are open courtyards, lotus ponds, an herb garden, even a reflexology path. Your spa programmes will find the balance between physical and spiritual health, and explore four areas: Rejuvenation and Longevity, Relaxation and Stress Reduction, Detoxification, and Romance. And if all that doesn’t leave you dreamy, try one of the Nap Gazebos on the beach…

Speciality of the Spa
There’s no better way to begin your day than the Bath House Ritual, a fusion of Asia styles of bathing. This starts with a footbath and an invigorating Chinese Foot Pounding, previously only enjoyed by concubines of feudal China. From here you’ll visit the Bath Houses to enjoy the traditional Malay “circulating” bath, akin to bathing in a stream, as well as a Japanese-style cleansing with a “goshi-goshi”” cloth, followed by a dip in the heated Rotenburu pool. You then refresh your senses with the signature Shanghai Scrub, gently exfoliating and washing your body in a private scrub house. Remember though, this is just the beginning – after a cup of calming tea, you now begin your chosen spa treatment!
