Home Hotels Borneo Eagle Resort

Borneo Eagle Resort

Add to wishlist Contact us

Borneo Eagle Resort is the only hotel on the beautiful island of Pulau Tiga, surrounded by coral-filled waters. The 13 huge villas are all located on the beachfront and range from pool villas with their own private pool to spa villas with extended living areas and a spa room.

All of the villas are spacious and private with their own verandah or decked area. With a minimum stay of three nights, there is plenty to do from the spa to the huge swimming pool or snorkelling on the coral-filled reefs.

Why we like Borneo Eagle Resort

Malaysian Borneo has long been in need of another luxury hotel, perfect for some relaxation at the end of an action-packed holiday. The rainforest interior of Pulau Tiga is untouched and the reefs surrounding the island are healthy and full of life. As the only accommodation on Pulau Tiga, guests have the island all to themselves.

Facilities

  • Swimming pool
  • Fitness centre
  • Spa
  • Two restaurants with a farm to table philosophy which fuses Western and Asian flavours

Activities

Being an island, water-based activities feature heavily during a stay here: kayaks and paddleboards available to borrow and there are some really excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities. Thick jungle covers the island’s interior and it is possible to explore this region on foot with a guide or maybe head out to do some fishing. Back at the hotel are Yoga and Pilates classes as well as a pool table, darts and beach volleyball. The hotel can also arrange private picnics and the skies at night are wonderful for stargazing.

It really helped that Clare and Amy had personal experience of where they were sending me and could describe the experiences and answer a ton of questions. You guys are fantastic.

Malaysia

Steppes helped me recover my lost camera from Kuala Lumpur airport. Fantastic service involving lots of extra work on my behalf, not only collecting it but returning it to my home address.

Malaysia

Clare was brilliant when I was organising my holiday and understood my brief from the word go. Some of my trip was as a lone traveller and she made sure I was well looked after the whole time - every part of my itinerary worked perfectly and was very well organised. All of the guides were excellent with wonderful local knowledge and lots of ideas to keep the itinerary interesting and flexible.
