3 Stars Hotels in Pangkor Island

Pangkor Island is a small tropical island off the west coast of Malaysia, half way between Penang and Kuala Lumpur. With a mix of fishing villages and resorts, this fascinating island gives travellers the rare chance to observe the life of a fisherman but also enjoy the fine beaches and relaxing atmosphere.

Being a fairly new tourist destination, Pangkor Island only has a handful of three-star hotels but they are well equipped and a great place for a casual escape. There is so much to do and see on the island and the friendly helpful staff at the resorts and hotels can help you find what adventure you are looking for. Snorkelling, jet skiing, and canoeing are just a few of the water sports available here. Those who prefer to stay on land can hire motorbikes, bicycles, or go on a jungle trek. All the equipment needed and organisational details will be taken care of by the hotel staff.

The three-star hotels on Pangkor Island offer more than just a helpful staff. Guests can enjoy outdoor swimming pools, spas, massages, and saunas, as well as restaurants that offer Thai and international foods and fresh seafood. The rooms are cosy and welcoming with air-conditioning, free Wi-fi, comfortable beds, hot water, and private balconies with garden or pool views. These modestly priced properties also offer complimentary breakfast, and choices of standard, deluxe, or chalet type housing, often within a five- or 10-minute walk of one of the island’s four beaches.

Two- and three-bedroom apartments are also an option on Pangkor Island. Guests can enjoy fully stocked kitchens, living and dining areas, and daily room cleaning. These spacious apartments can host up to five people and are perfect for those travelling with families.

If beachfront is what you are after, Pangkor Sandy Beach Resort and Puteri Bayo Resort, both on Pasir Bogak Beach, are the only three-star properties available with such convenience. Both boast stunning views, spacious rooms, and cafés where guests can watch the sunset on the water as they eat dinner or enjoy a cup of coffee.
