We're grateful for another year and 2017 was by far, one of the best year for us. And we're ecstatic to find out what's in store for us this year.

Here are just some updates from last year:

We have gone through some major renovation works and upgrading since 2016 and finally, we now have the Borneo Villas as a luxurious accommodation option for guests. The villas have an exquisite Bornean touch and ambiance to them, from its fine architecture design, down to the smallest wood carving details. Equipped with air-conditioning, the villas are also 60% larger than our existing superior rooms, making it an ideal accommodation for parents with littles ones.

Guests have the option of a king-sized bed or twin-sharing. On top of that, each villa also has its own private balcony for guests to step out to and enjoy the fresh-air and nature scenes. Our Borneo Villas are now open for booking, and guests can now enjoy luxury and the wilderness hand-in-hand during their stay here.

Besides that, guests can take a stroll at the newly built David Attenborough Boardwalk while listening to nature’s soothing orchestra. There are also chances of spotting wildlife in the surrounding forests, including orangutans! Do keep a lookout for our resident orangutans Lucky and Day who comes by to say hello once in a while.

Sukau Rainforest Lodge has also extended its Melapi Restaurant/Jetty to provide guests with a more spacious and comfortable dining experience. At Melapi Restaurant/Jetty, guests can savour the beautiful scenery of Kinabatangan River while they're having their meal or enjoying a cold beer.

If you want to experience Sabah Borneo at its grandest and make unforgettable memories, come stay with us at Sukau Rainforest Lodge!

Husband and wife duo, Datuk Anthony Lamb and Datin Anthea Phillipps are the power couple of conservation here in Sabah Borneo. Both have contributed immensely and worked together in the botany and agriculture fields in the state, which is why we are giving them the well-deserved recognition and honour as our latest Conservation Fellows.

Datin Anthea and Datuk Anthony

Just a little info about the two; Datuk Anthony joined the Sabah Agricultural Department in 1962 and has over 50 years of working experience in Sabah under his belt. He first began his service in Sabah with the Agricultural Department at their Research Station in Tenom, when he helped to introduce many new fruit crops and ornamental plants. Subsequently he helped set up the Tenom Agricultural Park, next to the Research Station, with its unique collections of wild fruit trees and native orchids, which he has been studying for over 30 years. He was awarded the PGDK (Panglima Gemilang Darjah Kinabalu or, Commander of the Order of Kinabalu) in 2015.

Datin Anthea on the other hand, is a botanist and ecologist, and was brought up in Sabah as a child. She has worked for both the Sabah Museum and the Sabah Parks. With Sabah Parks, she was based at the Kinabalu Park Headquarters and helped establish the Park Herbarium and the Botanical Garden. She has written/co-authored/edited books on the islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Mount Kinabalu Park and their plants including Rhododendrons and Pitcher-plants. She currently writes a weekly column about the amazing plants that can be seen in Borneo in a local newspaper. Both Anthea and Anthony have collaborated on Rhododendrons of Sabah together in the past.

Just recently, we presented Datuk Anthony and Datin Anthea with the recognition when they dropped by our sister company Borneo Eco Tours' office in Kota Kinabalu. They have yet to visit our lodge to officiate one of our new Villas which will be a tribute to them.
