Hotels in LumutThere'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 HotelTop 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.
Marina Cove ResortThe 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 very 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. More about the Marina Cove Resort
Lumut Country Resort LumutThe Lumut Country Resort Lumut is located at the other side of Lumut. You ask me? I like the place, it's a good deal for what you get.
The hotel is in fact a kind of hybrid between a hotel and a chalet resort. The chalets are decent maintained (not all hotels in this area are that well maintained) and should you have to stay in Lumut, the Lumut Country Resort is a very good choice. Don't forget to eat here, the chef makes very good dishes!
Blue Bay HotelThe 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.

Marina CoveA 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! Map of LumutFor a map of Lumut, please click here, or on the small map here:
River fishing around LumutThe 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: |

It 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.
