Overview
Mutiara Burau Bay Beach Resort Langkawi
is a tropical island resort
in the forest, by the bay. This delightful
seaside resort offers 150 individual cabanas located in undisturbed coastal
rainforest along the yellow sandy beaches of Burau Bay.
The resort is located on Langkawi,
the Islands of Legends in the northern Malaysian State of Kedah. It is
ideally situated at the base of some of the oldest mountains in Asia. Here
at Burau Bay the rainforests meet the sea and provide a peaceful retreat
where guests and many native animals live in harmony. These coastal rainforests
are also believed to be some of the oldest in the world and have been dated
to over 120 million years old.
The Mutiara Burau Bay Beach Resort
is one of the most established resorts on the island. Recent renovations
have made this pleasant three-star property beside a six-star coconut-fringed
beach (two beaches in fact some cabanas are situated on Pantai Kok),
an excellent location for families and couples who appreciate peaceful
solitude in a small property with excellent international standards and
professional service.
While it is impossible to build a
resort and not make some impact upon the environment, every effort has
been made to create a resort that blends harmoniously into its natural
setting.All plants and animals on the property are protected and many species
can be found in the forests, adjoining mangroves and along the beachfront.
Monkeys live in the trees, the flying colugo makes it home here and hornbills
soar overhead.
The grassy areas of the resort are
the best location in the world to see the rainbow lizard! Guests are encouraged
to discover and learn from nature while at the resort and our staff are
pleased to help guests open their eyes to the many natural assets of
Burau Bay.
Guests can relax besides the pool
or swim in the safety of clear waters off Burau Bay or participate in a
range of activities for the adventurous or sports-minded.To many visitors,
Langkawi is considered an island but in actual fact there are some 104
islands in the archipelago.
These rounded islands are mostly
unsettled and blanketed in a unique forest that grows on the limestone
bedrock. Only two islands in the whole archipelago are populated with the
remainder being left in their natural state for the pleasure of all who
visit. There are a little over 50,000 people on the island and most live
in Kuah.
It was only a decade or so ago that
Langkawi was placed on the worlds tourist map so most of the islands remain
as they have for many centuries. The people of Langkawi have been involved
in primary production for much of this time. Fishing, rubber, padi rice
and coconut production has sustained them for centuries. Travel around
the island and you will still see signs of these activities in the kampungs
(villages) on Langkawi.
There are many legends in the Malay
folklore on Langkawi and several tourist attractions here relate to these
legends. Most are situated in picturesque settings and are therefore worth
visiting for their beauty as well as the legends.
The resort has been designed for
guest comfort with an emphasis on casual relaxation. As much attention
has been placed on the cabana interior as well as the maintenance of excellent
gardens and natural habitats we believe guests want to spend as much
time as possible outside soaking up what nature has bestowed upon Burau
Bay.
