Modern high-rises abound in Kuching, and deluxe seaside resorts are scattered around Kota Kinabalu. Rainforest chic is the prevailing ethos in Borneo: eco-lodge bungalows and private deluxe chalets tucked away within the jungle are classics of the genre.

Here are our favorite Borneo hotels, resorts and lodges:
