Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia and Borneo

This large, spread out eco-resort is the only place of note to stay inside the national park. Be prepared for glimpses of wild tapir, monkeys, boar and hornbills from your chalet porch, and invest in a pair of earplugs from the resort shop because the nocturnal din from the jungle can be intense! Buffet meals are served in a spacious dining hall where there’s a serviceable wi-fi connection. The hotel really comes into its own as a springboard for jungle treks, night hikes in the rainforest and wildlife spotting trips on the nearby river.
