Tranquillity in the midst of luxury

Mangala Resort & Spa, a hidden gem in Gambang, Pahang.

What started off as a private family getaway for Franky Group managing director Datuk Franky Chua Goon Eng with one bungalow built in Gambang, Pahang on a 400-acre former tin and sand mining piece site, part of this land has since been transformed into an eco-friendly resort over the last 16 years.

“After 40 years as a contractor, I had wanted to start my own farm when I retire. The place was not meant to be a resort due to the barren nature of the land, ” the 64-year-old Chua explained.
