Spa
Village
The
newest addition to Pangkor Laut Resort (Pulau Pangkor), the luxurious Spa
Village, is now open. The Spa Village is a unique retreat
that extols the healing cultures of the region and offers
a respite from the rest of the world. Malaysia, with its diverse
history of people and cultures, and a vast abundance of natural
resources, provides the backdrop for our health rituals that
are amongst the oldest in the world. The abundance of Malay,
Chinese, Indian and Thai practices makes this the ideal setting
for complete rejuvenation.
The
Spa Village is a collection of low buildings and structures,
featuring both indoor and open-air spaces, spread over 4 acres
on a quiet bay between the sea and the rainforest. Designed
to soothe and refresh the senses, the various buildings face
the sea, and are interspersed with open courtyards, lotus
ponds, a herb garden, and a reflexology path.
The complex comprises eight treatment pavilions, a deluxe
Belian Treatment Pavilion, "Healing Huts," which
include Chinese herbal, Ayurvedic and Malay Huts, a "Wrap
House", where the menu changes daily with Ayurvedic Herbal,
Seaweed and Chinese Herbal Wraps, 2 Bath Houses, 3 Thai Pavilions,
3 Nap Gazebos, a Herbal Garden, a 50 metre lap pool, Fisherman’s
Cove Restaurant, Jamu Bar, Library and Spa Boutique. 22 brand
new Spa Villas situated over the sea offer direct access to
the Spa Village.
Programmes
combine physical and spiritual health and well being, and
are based on one of four umbrella concepts: Rejuvenation and
Longevity, Relaxation and Stress Reduction, Detoxification,
and Romance.
For
those seeking to fully experience the health rituals of the
region, we recommend that you meet with our Chinese or Ayurvedic
Specialists for a complimentary consultation at the beginning
of your stay. Our comprehensive approach to health will lend
helpful insight to your stay at the Spa Village, as well as
life long tools for vibrant living.
Your
treatment at the Spa Village will begin with the unique Bath
House Ritual, representing various bathing traditions from
around Asia. This starts with a foot bath and an invigorating
Chinese Foot Pounding, previously only enjoyed by the concubines
of feudal China. From there you will be escorted to the Bath
Houses to enjoy the traditional Malay “circulating” bath,
from when villagers bathed in streams or rivers, and a Japanese-style
cleansing with a “goshi-goshi”” cloth, followed by a dip in
the heated Rotenburu pool. Our professional spa staff will
then refresh your senses with our signature Shanghai Scrub,
gently exfoliating and washing your body in our private scrub
house. In Shanghai, this is traditionally offered exclusively
to males. After your scrub, enjoy a cup of calming tea in
our tranquil surroundings before you begin your spa treatment.
We recommend you allow forty-five minutes before your treatment
to enjoy our Spa Village facilities.
All
of our treatments are conducted in private spa pavilions.
Please choose from the extensive list of treatments or design
your own day with the Custom Spa Experience or Ultimate Spa
Experience. Our Spa Co-ordinators will be happy to customise
your visit to the Spa Village.
