Hotels in Lumut


There's quite a few hotels in Lumut despite being a very small town. And yes, I know, most travelers, local and international alike would prefer to stay at Pangkor. And yes, true, Lumut does not have the beaches, like Pangkor. Still, Lumut has something to offer to all travelers, but only if you are willing to spend an extra day AND a little effort.

So, where would you stay in Lumut? Are there any decent hotels in Lumut? Yes there are some very nice hotels and they're very decent priced too!

Although the town is small, it offers a wide range of hotels. We have selected just a few of the best in each price class.

Orient Start Hotel

Orient Start Hotel LumutTop end of the hotels in Lumut stands the Orient Start Hotel which is located on the way to the Navy Base, opposite of the Lumut Valley Resort Condominium at the sea side. Unfortunately there's no beach to enjoy, just the boulevard. Still, in Lumut this is probably the best choice you can have.

The hotel has a swimming pool and true, the sea is not inviting to swim anymore but it's still a good hotel.

Teluk Batik Resort

Teluk Batik Resort is the best option in Teluk Batik. I've stayed here and in Marina Cove (see the option, and prefer the Teluk Batik Resort. Rooms are nicer, pool is larger, food is better and still the same price as Marina Cove.

Marina Cove Resort

Marina CoveThe Marina Cove Resort is located several kilometers out of the Lumut town center near Teluk Batik. The resort can be reached by taxi.

It's a nice place that deserves more attention then it gets. The hotel has a pool but just behind the hotel you will find the Waterpark, a fun park for children just outside the compound of the hotel.

It has team building facilities and good access area to the nearby jungle. We use if for our Team Building too.

Blue Bay Hotel

The Blue Bay has very nice rooms with views over the Dinding river. The location is near the Lumut Yacht club and the Lumut Waterfront. There's a decent restaurant and the ferry to Pangkor is about 5 minutes away. The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with good service.

Swiss-Garden Golf Resort & Spa Damai Laut Swimming pool of Swiss Garden

The Swiss-Garden Golf Resort & Spa Damai Laut complex is not located in Lumut itself but opposite of both Lumut and Pangkor.

Although it is only a few kilometers as the crow flies, it's still 20 km by road. There's no direct boat connection from Lumut.

The 4 star multiple award winner hotel has everything you can possibly want and need for your holiday: beach, swimming pool, golf course, restaurants, bars, childcare and other activities. For sure it's an excellent choice.

The Lumut Valley Resort Condominium

Lumut Valley Resort CondominiumIt is always difficult to recommend a hotel in a town where there are so many. However, in Lumut it's not difficult. Of course it's a personal view but I may say that the Condominium is a great choice. If you come for work in the Naval Base or in the Power Plant you will find a home away from home.

For the retired traveler the Condominium is an excellent choice. Everything is potentially included, breakfast, cleaning etc.

How about me coming for holiday? I hear you asking. With it's great views over the bay and the Straits of Malacca you will enjoy your stay even more then you can imagine. The rooms are all on levels from 10 to 50 meters above sea level.

The Pangkor ferry is a 10 minute walk and there are fine western styled cafes and restaurants available. Other facilities the management can arrange for you. Check the details on the Lumut Valley Resort Condominium

Lumut Country Resort

The Lumut Country Resort is another option. Rooms are spacious, there's a pool and the Lumut Waterfront is nearby. It's a nice place to stay.

Era Backpackers Hotel

Opposite of the bus station is the Era Back packers hotel, a convenient and cheap hotel with basic facilities for a good price. The hotel is nicely located in the middle of Lumut. It's a few minutes to the restaurants and shop but also to the ferry. It's an ideal place for backpackers and people who want a good and cheap hotel.

Lumut Heritage

There isn't a lot heritage left in Lumut. And what there is, will soon be destroyed in the name of development and progress (my expectation). So if you have an interest in heritage buildings in Lumut, you better be quick

Marina Cove

A pleasant hotel in the Teluk Batik area is the Marina Cove. It's located about 10km from Lumut and close to the famous (for locals) Teluk Batik Beach. There's a pool but also a waterpark behind the hotel and there are plenty of great trekkings to organize from here

Lumut less then a decade ago
Pieter Kruger from South Africa has lived and worked for a few years in Lumut. He saw a very different Lumut as we know it today. When I came to Lumut, in 2003, the old ferry was no longer in service. Yet, Pieter went to Pangkor with the old ferry.

He was kind enough to send us some photos of his days in Lumut, not even 10 years ago. But it has dramatically changed!

River fishing around Lumut

The Dingding river is maybe not very deep but it does contain a range of opportunities for fishermen to gain their daily meal. I went with them to see how they work:
