Award winning eco-conscious luxury all-villa resort close to Kuantan- Malaysia. From the very beginning- Mangala Estate was designed to protect the natural world- and bring people closer to it. This luxury boutique hotel has transformed land left barren by tin mining into a natural paradise of protected wetlands- lakes and palm forests. In amongst it all stand private villas- where eco-chic design sets the scene for a luxury break with a lighter footprint. Stay at a lakeside villa to watch fish darting just below the veranda- as birds soar overhead. Or- if you want to take to the water yourself- choose one set among the palm trees- with a private pool. Wake to birdsong- then take a guided nature walk with the hotel naturalist to get to know the singers. Then spend the day enjoying the outdoors- with activities including kayaking- hiking and tours to Pahang cultural sites- temples and villages. If total relaxation is in order- make for Mangala Spa for a massage or a soothing bath infused with rejuvenating herbs. Then find your way to the Lakeside Restaurant or the Lakeside Bar for an evening cocktail. As the sky darkens- let the naturally peaceful ambience of your surroundings wash over you. This is somewhere to reconnect - to yourself- and to the world around you. Mangala Estate is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
