Cove 55

Located half an hour from the park-filled city of Kuching – the ‘Gateway to Borneo’ – this luxurious boutique retreat boats lush gardens, pristine white exteriors and easy access to the region’s spectacular natural wonders, including the 740-acre Semenggoh Nature Reserve, home to the endangered Bornean orangutan.

Surrounded by jungle and the endlessly shimmering ocean, this perfectly manicured hideaway is the perfect place to retreat from the world beyond, with just 28 rooms, suites and villas taking inspiration from the indigenous Iban’s rich heritage in Borneo.
