Full description

### Escape into Borneo's Ancient Jungle Edge

Nestled against the lush, undulating hills of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, **Sepilok Forest Edge Resort** offers an authentic Bornean sanctuary where raw nature harmonizes with refined hospitality. Constructed using reclaimed vintage timber sourced from historic 1940s North Borneo dwellings, each bespoke chalet is an eco-architectural tribute to local heritage while providing air-conditioned comfort, modern en-suite rainshowers, and private timber verandas.

Whether you are listening to the evening chorus of cicadas and nocturnal frogs from your private outdoor jacuzzi or taking a refreshing dip in your exclusive plunge pool at the signature Safari Glamping Villa, Sepilok Forest Edge Resort places you in the premier gateway for Sabah's iconic wildlife encounters.

### Prime Gateway to Sepilok Sanctuaries - **Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre:** Just 5 minutes away, witness the daily feeding of rescued and semi-wild Bornean orangutans. - **Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC):** Meet the world's smallest bears thriving in natural forest enclosures. - **Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC):** Walk 28 meters high along the canopy walkway, renowned internationally as one of Asia's finest birdwatching hotspots (spotting Bornean Bristleheads, Hornbills, and Pittas).

### The Nest Restaurant & Lounge Surrounded by verdant rainforest canopy and illuminated by warm oil lamps, **The Nest** elevates Bornean dining with fresh local ingredients, artisanal stone-baked pizzas, Asian fusion specialties, and signature tropical cocktails.
