The lush rainforests of Borneo are a stronghold of ecological wonder, playing host to several endangered species, vibrant flora and unique local cultures. But what if we were to tell you that there are a pair of hidden gems nestled amidst the sprawling jungle? Marriott Hotels have utilised the incredible Bornean landscape and brought the luxurious services they’re so renowned for to this incredible destination via Mulu & Miri Resorts & Spas. A honeymoon stay in either one of these incredible resorts is certain to amaze and inspire, with adventurous excursions and romantic retreats around every corner. So without further ado, lets dive in and find out what makes this delightful resort duo so special.
Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa
On the fringes of Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a contemporary haven like no other resides. Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa is a 5-star tropical sanctuary, perfect for adventurous couples seeking a temperate getaway. Borneo is a special location, with a myriad of endangered species residing within the jungle depths and the rarity associated with the jungle’s denizens certainly extends to the feelings invoked when staying at the resort.
The accommodation available at Mulu is something to behold. Sweeping views will become standard during your stay, with each room sitting atop a lofty wooden walkway overlooking the leafy, emerald expanse beyond. Regardless of your choice in accommodation, you can expect marshmallow-soft beds and a private balcony with delightful views, as well as a series of contemporary amenities present to make your stay as comfortable as possible. For honeymooners, we’d definitely recommend a stay in one of the resort’s Melinau Suites, where you’ll find tranquillity, privacy and sprawling tropical sights wrapped up in a supremely romantic package.
If you’re seeking a dining experience as delicious as your surroundings, Mulu has got you covered. The Marriott Café offers all-dining options that will be certain to appease even the pickiest of palates, with a varied menu that provides both local and international favourites, as well as wellness cuisines for that all important healthy kick! If dinner with a view is the thing for you, then a sit-down soiree at the River Bar is in order. Indulge in a selection of light bites and rejuvenating beverages as the gentle jungle waters trickle past you – the perfect way to end the day.
Resort relaxation and woodland wonderment await you in equal measure during a stay with Mulu. The resort’s serene spa offers a rejuvenating retreat amidst an already idyllic location, with a range of natural treatments and authentic therapies available to try. There are several ways to revitalise your mind, body and soul, whether you choose to spend a day with the spa, get your sweat on in the fitness centre or lazily lap around the outdoor pool. Amorous adventurers are also in luck – due to the resort’s proximity to Gunung Mulu National Park, a series of jaunts amongst the jungle’s dense foliage await you. Renowned for its winding rivers and expansive cave systems, there are plenty of ways to explore this ecological world, where animals and plants previously unimagined lie in wait to be sighted by yourselves. If you’d prefer to stare across the treeline, there are also trips to an observation tower available, where you’ll be able to stand hand-in-hand with your partner, as you gaze over the tropical kingdom that lies before you.
Miri Marriott Resort & Spa
Couples in search of Malaysian magic imbued with beachfront brilliance will find honeymoon heaven via a stay with Miri Marriott Resort & Spa. Situated in sunny Sarawak with resplendent views of the South China Sea, this stupendous seafront sanctuary provides a stay like no other.
