Each day you spend at Mesilau Nature Resort in Sabah, Malaysia will leave you breathless. And why not, when it opens your eyes to rare, exotic flora with its Nepenthes Rajah Nature Trail and challenging hikes to Mount Kinabalu’s summit.
Set amidst a dense jungle some 2.5 hours away from Kota Kinabalu and about 115 km from the airport, the property lets you bask in the lush landscape and spectacular views surrounding the area. And while doing so, you can fill your taste buds with scrumptious offerings from the Nepenthes Restaurant.
But more than just a place perched 2,000 m above sea level where you can commune with nature, the resort also provides travellers with a cool respite prior to conquering one of Southeast Asia’s tallest mountains. Here, you can prepare for the rest of your journey up the peak with a good night’s sleep at its many accommodation options.
