Borneo

A luxury holiday to Borneo offers the chance to see endangered orang-utans in their natural habitat, to cruise down mist-covered rivers in the early morning in search of wildlife or to enjoy breakfast to the accompaniment of hornbills gliding between the treetops. Alternatively simply enjoy one of a handful of great beach resorts in Borneo.

Few places in the world can conjure up such exotic imagery and romance as the island of Borneo, with its incredible wildlife, lush rainforest, tropical beaches and the majestic presence of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia.

A luxury Borneo holiday may include wildlife viewing on the Kinabatangan River, a stay in the Borneo Rainforest Lodge, seeing the orangutans in Sepilok and staying in a luxury Borneo beach resort, meaning there are lots of options for a great relaxing holiday to Borneo.
