Background / History
Born out of passion for the astounding Kinabatangan River and surrounding rainforest, Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort was envisioned as a unique and authentic travel experience with low environmental impact. In efforts to minimise disruption to the ecosystem, the resort was built on stilts raised 4 feet above ground, allowing the natural flow of water and wildlife movement to continue beneath them.
