Borneo Rainforest Lodge

Set amongst the lush rainforest flora and fauna of a conservation area in Borneo’s Danum Valley, this award-winning lodge is a beacon of sustainable practices and a paradise for birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those looking for a relaxing immersion in nature. The lodge shares its rainforest home with more than 340 species of birds, 124 species of mammals, including Bornean orangutan, clouded leopard, proboscis monkey and pygmy elephant. Though you could appreciate some of this wildlife from your balcony, the lodge offers jungle trekking, canopy walks, and river cruises to improve your chances of spotting the birds and wildlife.

Dotted throughout the rainforest and along the river’s edge, the 27 chalets and three villas blend indoor and outdoor living with a balcony or decking to bring guests closer to the natural beauty of the surroundings. Overhead fans cool the rooms, maintaining the natural ethos of the lodge while the simple furnishings and clean, minimalist lines let the beauty of the rainforest shine through.
