Venture into the heart of Borneo on an adventurous honeymoon off the beaten track, where you will have incredible holiday experiences everywhere you go, from the rainforests and jungles of Sabah and Sarawak to the beachside temples and vast caves of Sarawak, alongside colourful wildlife as well as rich marine life- Borneo has some of the most spectacular diving spots in the world, most notably the Sipadan reef. But there are also numerous beautiful islands and beaches perfect for a chilled out honeymoon sunbathing, unwinding and generally not doing very much at all...
Make the most of the country’s natural diversity on land and sea on your honeymoon in Borneo. Snorkel in the crystal clear waters off stunning coral islands in Kota Kinabalu, kayak through the mangroves, see turtles laying eggs on the beach on the aptly-named Turtle Island, meet orangutans, pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys and lizards in the heart of the rainforest and take a refreshing dip under tropical waterfalls.
The lazily beautiful Pulau Gaya (Gaya Island) is unmissable- stay in your very own luxury hideaway at Gaya Island Resort and have a stunning beach right on your doorstep.

Experience Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Island, and much more, on a diverse and memorable Borneo honeymoon. For an extra-thrilling challenge, climb Mount Kinabalu, which rises to over 4000 metres, and time your arrival to see the sun rise over Borneo- an unforgettable experience.
