Borneo holidays

Boasting some of the world’s finest hotel resorts

Nature brings all her treasures to the party when you take a Borneo holiday with The Co-operative Travel.

A land rich in ecological treasures yet boasting some of the world’s finest hotel resorts, Borneo brings you nature up close, in the shape of shimmering seas, lush green rainforests and rare wildlife.

Of course, to many Borneo conjures up one enduring image – of those lovable orangutans – and they’ll want to introduce themselves to you as you wander through the forests on an organised safari.

While these cute creatures are what many people come to Borneo to see, the diverse cultures of their nearest relatives – we humans – is fascinatingly diverse on this, the world’s fourth largest island. The Sabah and Sarawak tribes between them speak more than 150 different dialects, and worship countless religions.

The rich variety of other wildlife you might encounter on your Borneo holiday includes rare species such as pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys and rhinos. The region is also a habitat for some intriguing flora, such as the Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower.

borneo – expect a genuinely warm welcome

Sabah and Kota Kinabalu are the main centres for safari-based holidays, while diving has also made its presence felt, and several other resorts offer dive trips and accommodation geared towards those undertaking this popular pursuit.

Local people greet you with genuine warmth on a Borneo holiday, and you’ll enjoy excellent, attentive service at any of the resort hotels in Sabah or Kota Kinabalu which will be your base on a Borneo package holiday or all-inclusive break.

If your preferred holiday is of the more relaxed type, you can soak up the sun on a secluded beach or tropical island and cool off in the crystal clear waters. Golf-lovers can also enjoy several top-quality courses in various locations on Borneo, while the most adventurous can scale Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in south-east Asia.

Accommodation ranges from hostels ideal for the budget-conscious or those wishing to stay close to nature, to high-end hotel chains for those in search of a little luxury on their Borneo holiday.

Borneo is a byword for holidays which bring you close to nature, and remind you of its variety and beauty. You’ll just love the whole experience when you choose a Borneo holiday from The Co-operative Travel.
