A romantic rainforest retreat replete with wildlife and beach adventures.
If you're looking for a honeymoon that combines romance and adventure, consider Borneo as your dream destination.
Borneo offers a truly unique honeymoon, wild, romantic, and full of unforgettable moments. If you’re looking for something more original than a traditional beach break, Borneo combines lush rainforests, exotic wildlife, and secluded lodges with just the right balance of comfort and adventure.
What we love about Borneo for honeymoons is the variety. One day you could be gliding down a jungle river in search of wild orangutans, the next unwinding on a quiet island with clear blue water and white sand. Many lodges offer private chalets or stilted river cabins, perfect for couples looking for privacy with a sense of place.
We recommend starting your journey in the rainforest, Danum Valley, or the Kinabatangan River are ideal for wildlife, guided walks, and nights under the stars. From there, fly over to Gaya Island or one of the other lesser-visited beaches for a few days of barefoot luxury.
There’s plenty of scope to tailor your trip to suit your style – whether you want soft adventure, full relaxation, or a mix of both. And while Borneo feels wonderfully remote, it’s still easy to travel around with the right planning.
For couples who want a honeymoon that’s a bit different, rich in nature, culture, and genuine wow-factor, Borneo is a fantastic choice.
