There are many incredible places to stay in Borneo. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Batang Ai National Park

Hilton Batang Ai Longhouse Resort

A hotel designed to mimic the traditional longhouses of the local Iban tribe, this jungle resort gives visitors to Batang Ai the chance to stay in the Borneo rainforest in relative comfort. Just two hours away from Batang National Park by boat, guests can use the resort as a base for exploring the jungle and the home of the ‘head-hunter’ Iban tribe. The resort has an outdoor pool, tennis courts and offers various trips around the surrounding area, like canopy walks or visits to the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. The restaurant serves Malaysian cuisine and jungle barbecues, and you can enjoy an evening drink overlooking the lake from the Wong Irup Lounge.

Sandakan

Sepilok Nature Lodge

Nestled among the lake’s rich jungle fringes of orchids and trees, Sepilok Nature Resort offers a peaceful and comfortable place to explore the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve and Rehabilitation Centre. All sixty of the comfortable chalets come with air conditioning, traditional interiors and private verandas that give you good views. The Reserve which is home to the last wild Orang-utans of Northern Borneo, is just a mere walk away from the resort. Immersed into this pristine wilderness enjoy days, nights, delicious meals and downtime to the chorus of creatures that surround you. Take advantage of the river trips, trekking and birding excursions that are all on offer.

Kota Kinabalu

Gaya Island Resort

Within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, a short boat ride off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Island Resort rests along the coast of Malohom Bay, a natural sanctuary nestled in the hillside of an ancient rainforest with a stunning outline of Mount Kinabalu on the horizon. 120 spacious villas and one suite use local materials and blend harmoniously with the natural environment while villa interiors are designed with a contemporary elegance, set amidst lush rainforest and protected mangroves, many with breathtaking views over the South China Sea.
