Perched on the coast of Borneo, under the watchful gaze of Mount Santubong, Permai Rainforest Resort offers an idyllic escape to nature's lap. But beware, as you check in, you may find yourself being checked out by curious macaques eager to inspect your snack collection. It's an amusing reminder that here, in the dense, verdant beauty of the rainforest, you are merely a guest in nature's grand palace.
Accommodation at Permai Rainforest Resort varies, but it's the treehouses that truly capture the essence of an authentic rainforest retreat. Tucked away in the treetops and accessed via a short trek through the forest (don't worry, the staff will take care of your luggage), these treehouses are more than just a place to rest; they are an experience in themselves. The anticipation builds as you climb the steep stairs, and once inside you're immediately rewarded with a mesmerising view.
Designed with couples in mind, the treehouses take full advantage of the panoramic beauty of the South China Sea. The large sliding glass door not only provides access to the balcony, but also ensures that the awe-inspiring view remains uninterrupted from the comfort of your bed. Lulled by the gentle rhythm of the waves and the soft serenade of cicadas, you'll find tranquillity unlike anywhere else. And while the rainforest is undeniably humid, the treehouses are equipped with air conditioning to keep the tropical heat at bay.
A notable feature of these treetop dwellings is the en-suite bathroom, ensuring that guests make no compromises on comfort while basking in rustic charm. A stone's throw away, meander down a jungle path to a restaurant that reflects the treehouse's commitment to incredible views. And if you're lucky, your meal might be accompanied by the playful antics of silver langurs frolicking in the trees.
