Borneo Rainforest Lodge

The Danum Valley Conservation area in eastern Sabah is one of the world’s most bio-diverse rainforests, and although it’s a bumpy two-hour car ride to get to the Borneo Rainforest Lodge, you will find it hard not to get a little excited when you first clap eyes on the stunning location on a bend of the Danum River.

It is difficult to believe that so much comfort can exist in the heart of the forest. Do note, though, that you’ll have to forgo some luxuries. The 30 well appointed chalets are delightfully spacious and feature private balconies perfect for taking in the spectacular river or jungle views. If you can, go for a deluxe chalet and relax in your private outside hot tub after a day's exploring.
