Spa Village, Pangkor Laut Resort

I went for my 1st honeymoon to Pangkor Laut Resort and it would be a crime if I didn’t pamper myself at the spa.

The spa is gorgeous. It’s huge and I love the décor. Kind of makes you feel like you’re in Bali or something. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly lady at the reception. She offered me this interesting lemongrass plus orange drink and a cold towel.
I opted to try the massage first. They have so many different types of massage but the Lomi Lomi massage caught my attention. I’ve always wanted to try that.


But before all that, I was given a foot bath. It was alright, nothing great. But still, it was quite nice.

Then, I was escorted to the changing room. I was given a sarong to change to. The massage was 50 minutes but I was told to come 45 minutes earlier to spend some time at the spa to enjoy the “Bath Experience”.

1. Wishing well. I was given 1cent to throw into the well and was told to make a wish. “I hope your wish will come true” she said… it was as if she had a script to read to each client.
2. Next was the “Malay Bath” experience. Hmm…I don’t know what is so malay about the bath but it was basically this pool and I was asked to walk across from one end to another. Nothing much. The pool was nice tho….but I didn’t understand the concept.
3. Japanese bath house. Nothing much here as well. I was asked to sit on the stool and was given a shower gel so I spent like 3 minutes in there before moving on to the warm Japanese pool.
4. This was ok. Quite nice because the water was nice and warm. It was outdoor as well and I was all alone. It was quiet and I could only hear the sound of birds and the wind. I was there for about 5 minutes.
5. Then comes the scrub. It wasn’t a proper scrub. The therapist only scrub my back. Not that nice
6. Finally was the massage. Massage was ok. It was interesting but I’m not sure if I like it that much.

Overall, it was a good experience. Since I didn’t particularly love the massage, I decided not to go and enjoy other treatment offered by the spa. It was very expensive and I’m not too convinced that I’ll have a good time. I decided to go back to KL and enjoy a full on spa, cheaper than Pangkor Laut price but nicer. To me, this was ok but kind of like what I experienced in Cameron Highlands. Spa is overrated and overpriced but the treatment was not all that good. The environment was nice tho. Very relaxing. The spa is huge and beautiful…but the treatment….well, I personally think it’s not worth the price.
My massage was 50 minute and it was RM300++
