Background/History

Designed in the architectural style of traditional ethnic longhouses, Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa is built on wooden stilts approximately three metres above ground, a design that respects the natural rainforest terrain while blending harmoniously with its surroundings. The buildings are connected by a network of raised wooden walkways, creating the experience of staying in a modern longhouse village set along the banks of the Melinau River.

Located near the border between Malaysia and Brunei, the resort stands amidst the lush greenery of Borneo’s tropical rainforest, offering guests direct immersion in one of Southeast Asia’s most remarkable natural landscapes. It is situated just a five-minute drive from Gunung Mulu National Park, home to some of the world’s most extensive cave systems and one of Malaysia’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa features 188 rooms and suites, including deluxe rooms and a range of suite categories. Each accommodation is designed with parquet flooring, individually controlled air-conditioning, mini-bar facilities, and private verandas that overlook either the surrounding rainforest or the Melinau River.

To ensure guest comfort in this remote location, the resort operates its own water treatment plant, supplying clean and safe water throughout the property.
