TUCKED away on the shores of Batang Ai Lake in Sarawak is a luxury resort where guests can get close to nature without sacrificing their comfort.
The Hilton Batang Ai Longhouse Resort, as the name suggests, is built on the concept of traditional Iban longhouses.
It has 98 rooms, including eight double-storey suites, in 11 longhouse-style blocks, each with a covered common area resembling the verandah found in longhouses.
The rooms come with air-conditioning, television, refrigerator and tea- and coffee-making facilities.
Billed as Hilton’s only jungle resort, it is set amidst 20ha of rainforest on a peninsula jutting into the lake.
Guests can go jungle trekking on several trails around the resort, visit a longhouse upriver or picnic by a waterfall. Fishing excursions and trips to Batang Ai National Park, a two-hour boat ride away, can also be arranged.
Guest relations and activities manager Christopher Kiding said the resort offered guided treks on four trails.
