Batang Ai, Malaysia and Borneo

The Aiman Batang Ai Resort & Retreat, formerly the Hilton Batang Ai, is set on the edge of the picturesque Batang Ai Reservoir. Jungle clad and comfortable, it houses Longhouse-style rooms with a traditional native design to reflect the nearby Iban communities. There is a 25 metre long pool to relax in when you’re not out exploring the jungle, and there are tennis courts if you fancy a game.

You can experience the canopy walkways of the local rainforest too, go finishing or visit local waterfalls before indulging in authentic Malay cuisine at the Nanga Mepi Restaurant, which also offers jungle barbeques. Later sip exotic cocktails in rustic Sarawak surroundings as you look out at the peaceful reservoir from the Wong Irup Lounge.
