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 and Pantai Kok.

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 impacts 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 butterfly lizard! Guests are encouraged to learn from nature while at the resort and our staff are pleased to help guests “open their eyes” to the resort's many natural assets.

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 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 world’s 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).

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.
