Mulu Marriott, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo

Mulu Marriott, Malaysian Borneo

Deep in the rainforest of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, Mulu Marriott is ideally positioned for exploring the incredible Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its vast limestone caves, dramatic rock formations and ancient rainforest. Set on the banks of the Melinau River, the resort has been designed in the style of traditional Bornean longhouses, with timber buildings raised on stilts and connected by wooden walkways through the tropical gardens. Mulu is a remote destination and accommodation options are limited, but the Marriott offers a very comfortable retreat with excellent facilities, making it our preferred base for exploring this extraordinary part of Borneo.

Highlights

Sleep

The 101 rooms and suites are spread across the resort's longhouse-style buildings, surrounded by tropical greenery. Interiors are spacious and contemporary, with polished wooden floors, natural furnishings and private balconies overlooking the gardens, rainforest or river. Deluxe and Premier Rooms offer plenty of space and all the comforts you'd expect from a Marriott, while the suites provide additional living space. The style is more comfortable than luxurious, but perfectly suited to a few days exploring the national park.

Why Choose Turquoise?

Family Owned & Run

We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.

Our Passion Runs Deep

We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.

Definition of Luxury

Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.

Fun & Refreshing

We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
