A RAINFOREST RETREAT AT THE EDGE OF A UNESCO PARK
Set in the heart of Borneo’s tropical rainforest, moments from the entrance to Gunung Mulu National Park, the resort places you within easy reach of vast show caves, razor-edged limestone pinnacles and one of Southeast Asia’s richest ecosystems.
Guest rooms and suites are linked by stilted boardwalks and each includes a private balcony looking onto the jungle canopy or the Melinau River. The atmosphere is quiet and elemental, with wildlife calls carrying on the evening air and mist drifting over the water at first light.
Days here fall into a gentle rhythm. Head out with park guides along the plankwalk to Deer and Lang Caves, take a longboat to Clearwater and Wind Caves, or join a night walk to listen for frogs and spot flying squirrels. Return to Mandara Spa for a restorative treatment, then dine on Sarawak flavours or international classics at Marriott Café before a nightcap at the open-air River Bar.
The resort keeps everything effortless. There is a complimentary shuttle between the hotel, the national park headquarters and Mulu Airport, which makes exploring straightforward from the moment you land. Scheduled flights connect Mulu with Miri, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
