Pangkor Laut Malaysia
Addictive TV show Celebrity Race across the World has returned to BBC One, with this year’s adventure beginning in Kuching in Malaysian Borneo, before taking the celebrity pairs 7,500km across two continents to Melbourne, Australia. If you fancy your own Malaysian adventure, start with one of my favourite hotels in the world, the magical Pangkor Laut Resort on Malaysia’s west coast.
One of Asia’s original destination spas, and home of the first over-water bungalows in Malaysia, the pioneering resort sits on its own private island surrounded by rainforest and emerald waters. Its Spa Village is outstanding and a real highlight of any trip to south east Asia, and, best of all, it offers surprisingly good value, with nightly rates from €196.
