Permai Rainforest Resort Treehouse

An eco-resort by the sea under the forested foothills of Mount Santubong, thirty-five kilometres from Kuching, bordered by protected rainforest on two sides. The treehouses are the rooms to book: raised units along the water's edge where, in the resort's words, you sleep level with the forest canopy and wake to the sea lapping the shore below. Each sleeps two with a king, queen or two single beds, and unusually for a treehouse they are air-conditioned with en-suite bathrooms, soap and towels, and tea and coffee. The resort runs jungle trekking and overnight forest trips, a high-ropes course, stand-up paddleboarding and dolphin-watching boat trips into the estuary, and it has hosted team-building groups for twenty years, so expect company on weekends. A Malaysian travel guide that reviewed it quoted nightly rates from about RM 450. Book direct with the resort.
