PureandCure review: Marleen's holiday in Pangkor Laut Malaysia

20 February 2026

I can’t wait for my stay at Pangkor Laut, a highlight of our family journey through Malaysia. We’ve offered this resort for years, yet I had never been here myself. We leave the Cameron Highlands behind, where we’ve spent the past few days surrounded by endless tea plantations and cool mountain air. The drive to the west coast takes around four hours. Gradually, the scenery begins to shift. Rolling green hills give way to flatter landscapes, small villages and, eventually, the warmth and humidity of the coast. At Marina Island, home to Pangkor Laut’s check-in office, the transition begins. We are welcomed with quiet efficiency. Our luggage is tagged, cold drinks are offered, and the pace immediately slows. Minutes later, we walk towards the pier, where the speedboat is waiting. The final stretch before reaching the island.
