THE MULU MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA

Mulu is the Marriott’s first rainforest resort in Asia, offering guests the chance to relax in a five-star setting while exploring the world-famous caves and cruising on the tropical river. Rooms are perched under a thick canopy of trees and spacious balconies overlook the river so you can while away your days watching the local wildlife. There is a swimming pool and two restaurants— River Bar, which serves local Bornean cuisine, and M-cafe, which offers international fare.

And it’s not as hard to get there as you would think. There are connecting flights from Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu, followed by a short boat transfer to the resort. marriott.com
