Where to stay..
Accommodation in Borneo can range from a luxury island retreat to a lodge deep in the rainforest or a traditional riverside lodge. Our experts have tried and tested most of them so can recommend hotels to suit your taste and budget.
Occupying the northern slice of the world’s third largest island, Malaysian Borneo is a wonderful destination for honeymooners, families or those in search of adventure.
Made up of two states, Sabah and Sarawak, a holiday to Malaysian Borneo can include beach time, wildlife, rivers, mountains and culture.
Sabah occupies the northern tip of Borneo and is dominated by the majestic peak of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia. Wildlife viewing and in particular the chance to see orangutan is a huge draw to this part of the world.
Sarawak is wonderfully exotic; home to the world’s largest flower, flying squirrels, insect eating plants and quantities of yet unnamed flora and fauna. Furthermore, the ancient virgin rainforest is home to 27 ethnic people, each with their own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. National parks offer some excellent trekking and Semenggoh orangutan sanctuary the chance to see these wonderful apes.
The remaining 73% of Borneo belongs to Indonesia, a wild, exotic part of Asia. This jungle-covered part of the island is for travellers seeking an authentic wildlife experience and for many a highlight is spending time on an orangutan safari in Tanjung Puting National Park on our unique orangutan conservation group tour.
