CORAL gardens, sunbleached beaches and majestic hills - you'll find all these and more at Laguna Redang Island Resort, writes R.S. KAMINI. Pictures by SALIM SHAARI.
PULAU Redang is simply stunning, with magnificent shoreline of fine white sand and coral garden immersed in a clear blue sea.
A haven for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts, the island is surrounded by majestic green hills casting shadows in the simmering sea and is perfect getaway for holiday makers.
The Laguna Redang Island Resort is the only resort at Pasir Panjang, one of the island's finest beaches with powdery white sand and clear blue waters.
The low-rise resort retains a `modern paradise' concept that cleverly infuses traditional Malay architecture with modern amenities and yet is in perfect harmony with the natural greenery.
It has all the signature touches of its designer, the well-known Terengganu-born architect Raja Datuk Kamarul Bahrin Shah.
One cannot help but marvel at the unique and fine design of the resort which has 212 rooms and suites (with private balcony) either fronting the beach or a well-landscaped garden.
If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Laguna's natives - mischievous monkeys and curious squirrels peeping from the roof top at the well-spread buffet tables.
Serving local and continental cuisine, the seaview Ala-Carte Restaurant provides an unforgettable dining experience.
You can also take a walk along the beach after dinner, dance under the stars at the open disco or head for the private karaoke lounges and indoor beach club which features live entertainment.
There's no shortage of sports and recreational activities - from snorkelling and fishing to night diving, island excursion, sunset cruise, jungle trekking, water sports etc.
It's so easy to fall in love with Pulau Redang, touted as one of the best islands in Malaysia and also among the places with the best coral and marine eco-systems in the region. And at Laguna, you have the advantage of having easy access to the best that the island has to offer.
