Bukit Raya Guesthouse

Top choice in Kalimantan


A gorgeous palm- and tree-filled garden, spotless timber cabins with lofts and a rough-hewn treehouse make this one of Kalimantan's most inviting and relaxing guesthouses. A labour of love for Swiss owners and long-time Borneo residents Thomas and Beatrice, Bukit Raya has lovely touches such as a natural swimming pool, rooftop garden, kitchen and library-lounge, all in a natural environment.

Scooters and mountain bikes are available for rent and the owners can arrange day trips to Tankiling Hills, boat trips or tours further afield.
