If your idea of a vacation is to an exotic island, then a trip to Borneo may be on your list. Borneo is the third-largest island in the world comprised of 287,000 square miles. Although it has a large population, the island is home to a wide variety of exotic plants and wildlife.
Where to Stay
When you visit Borneo, you have a variety of accommodations to choose from including city hotels, beachside resorts, and even jungle lodges. If you want to stay in the city between exploring the jungles and city life, there are several Borneo hotels in cities such as Kuching, Sandakan, and Kota Kinabalu. Each city is close to the rainforests in Malaysia so you can choose where to spend your time or split it between civilization and being out in the wild.
Beachside Resorts
There are several beachside resorts that you can enjoy while in Borneo on the Malaysian coasts. There are locations in Kota Kinabalu and Papar, both of which are in Sabah. You can tour the jungle one day and then enjoy some time on the beach the next day. You can also take time out to go golfing or sailing or enjoy a massage if the resort where you’re staying has a spa.
Jungle Accommodations
If the jungle and its variety of flora and fauna are what appeals to you, then there are several Borneo hotels in which to stay right in the rainforest. If you’re there on tour, then breakfast will usually be included in the costs of your stay. Most accommodations are close to the Orangutan preserve but you can also explore the exotic plants near the resorts such as the beautiful orchids and huge trees of the jungle.
Whether you enjoy city life, plan to relax on the beach, or want to be closer to the jungle, you can have your pick in Borneo.
