A collection of luxurious villas nestled around a lake, the Mangala Resort and Spa in Gambang, Pahang is tranquillity personified. Quiet and peaceful, the resort offers best available rates through direct booking for its forest-view Vana villas, lake-perched Jala villas and wetlands-hugging Sara cottages. Surrounded by a serene forest of palm oil trees, the resort is a lesson in rejuvenation – lovingly hewn from what was once barren land and a disused mining pool. Today, it is a lush vista of green, appreciated everywhere from the quiet of the villa verandas, to the hush of the infinity pool to the tinkling sound of silverware in the Lakeside dining room.
