The Spa Village at Pangkor Laut Resort is a unique retreat that offers extensive range of treatments from China, Japan, India, Thailand, Bali, and Malaysia. 22 beautiful Spa Villas situated over the sea offer direct access to the Spa Village. We enjoyed every moments when we set foot on this private island with only one resort. It is a great weekend getaway or a spa retreat vacation destination.
We are most impressed by the Spa Village. The Spa Village Bath House bath rituals experience is really relaxing. It starts with a "Foot Pounding", a traditional practiced in the feudal China for relief of pain and blood circulation. Followed by the "Malay Bath", we walk thru a waterfall bath and four types of herbal inhalation - Passion, Calming, Uplifting and Detox.
After the herbal inhalation, we were refreshed and was ursher to an outdoor hotwater jacuzzi next to Japanese bath house. After 15 minutes of dipping in hot water under the trees canopy, it's time to enter the Japanese bath house for a "Japanese Bath". I am talking about sitting on a small stool and pour water over yourself with a dipper... You basically use the Goshi-goshi cloth with bath gel to scrub your body in the bath.
Lastly, when you are done, you will be ursher to a pavilion with your partner for the "Shanghai Scrub". Previously offered extensively to males in Shanghai. The body is vigorously scrubbed with a body brush and rinsed with sizzling hot water.
When we have completed the Bath Ritual, we were escorted to the library pavilion by the beach. We were then served with ginger tea and snacks. While waiting for our massage, we found overselves some interesting books about the histrory of the island. After about 10 minutes, it's time for a massage. I had the best massage ever.... Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi Massage. Pangkor Laut Resort is indeed one of the best Asian spa retreat for couples.
