It was
raining, so the boat
ride was not as
pleasant as I imagine it
normally is. But it was still
special, and pulling up to the island -- seeing all the
bungalows sitting
patiently above the glistening water -- was memorable.
Pangkor Laut is a 300-acre, privately owned island in the Straits of Malacca three miles off the west coast of Malaysia. The
resort has developed only a fraction of the unspoiled two million-year-old rainforest, where some trees reach 150 feet high. This island is both lush and
exotic! When we stepped off the boat an army of porters grabbed our bags, and a greeter walked us to the lobby. Along the
way our mouths dropped open in
amazement. From that short walk alone we could tell this place would be like Fantasy Island -- and the three nights we had there would be far too short.
