Cove 55
Lot 55, Jalan Sultan Tengah (Santubong / Damai Road) Santubong, 93010 Santubong, Malaysia – Great location - show map
It's a great place for stay cation and to go around Santubong area. We went during the weekdays and there were barely anyone around so we almost feel like we had the whole place to ourselves.

Cove 55 is a luxurious private boutique hotel at the foot of Mount Santubong, an undiscovered paradise near Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. Built originally as a private home for an Iban family, the sprawling property is now reborn as an intimate retreat with 13 rooms, 2 suites and 13 villas. It offers an infinity pool facing the South China Sea, Pool Bar, fully equipped Fitness Center and free Wi-Fi access in its public areas. The Iban owners’ heritage and diverse culture is evident in everything from the cuisine to interior design. Some villas have private ocean-view pools, while others have a private outdoor mangrove deck. Rooms in the main building either have balconies or private courtyards, as well as ensuites with rain shower. All the luxuriously decorated rooms offer air conditioning. The team at Cove 55 can arrange a number of tours during your stay, including to Sarawak Cultural Village, Semonggoh Orangutan Sanctuary, Bako National Park and Satang Island turtle conservation center. With so much unspoiled beauty surrounding Cove 55, it is surprisingly easy to reach. Guests can fly into Kuching Airport on international carriers such as AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines and Scoot before an easy and scenic 40-minute drive to the hotel.
