A striking oasis set against the legendary backdrop of Mount Santubong, Damai Beach Resort serves as both a sublime escape and a statement property on the shores of Borneo. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a vision of tropical splendor: from the gleaming lobby adorned with wooden accents and local artwork, to the refreshing scent of the nearby ocean. This is a place of refined tranquility-a perfect introduction to your reverie of relaxation. The expansive lobby, characterized by airy spaces and vibrant local art installations, encourages downtime and contemplation. As you wander through, you'll find pathways leading to a series of exclusive amenities, including the illustrious Café Satang and the inviting Sunken Bar. Plush seating beckons you to unwind, while the gentle sounds of contemporary music fill the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable getaway. Start your day with an invigorating buffet breakfast featuring an array of local and international delicacies at Café Satang, and come evening, let the Sunken Bar be your go-to for a refreshing cocktail after a soothing soak in the pools-all enjoyed while taking in the stunning beach vistas.

Perfectly positioned just a 40-minute drive from Kuching International Airport and 45 km outside the city, the resort is a gateway to the wonders of Sarawak. Just moments away from the pristine Damai Beach, guests are treated to more than sun-kissed shores; nearby attractions include the enchanting Sarawak Cultural Village, the breathtaking landscapes of Santubong National Park, and the iconic Mount Santubong-all ripe for adventure. Patricia's Garden and the Permai Jungle Walk offer immersive trails for those ready to explore the world's oldest tropical rainforest. The main bazaar, Kuching Mosque and Sarawak Museum are but a short journey away, inviting you to embrace the local culture and history. Public transport is accessible, yet the luxury of private parking is also at your disposal for those who prefer to drive.

Room Information

Damai Beach Resort boasts a total of 100 rooms and suites, each bathed in natural light and showcasing modern design elements harmonizing with Borneo's lush surroundings. Rooms feature thoughtfully chosen amenities, including air conditioning, smart flat-screen TVs, a mini-bar, and balconies with either hill or sea views.

Room Upgrades

For guests wishing to elevate their stay, upgraded options abound. The opulent Executive Suite spans approximately 800 sq. ft., featuring a splendid layout with separate bedroom and living areas furnished with plush sofas-perfect for socializing. Alternatively, the spacious Baruk Suite offers panoramic sea views and includes luxury touches with a private terrace, promising a tranquil escape of refined contemporary opulence. The Beach Wing chalets range from a generous 600 sq. ft. to 1,200 sq. ft., offering guests direct access to the beach and stunning swimming pool views, accommodating up to four people comfortably. Each upgraded accommodation option ensures that your experience is not only memorable but also intrinsically tied to the stunning nature surrounding the resort.

“Damai Beach Resort has a prime advantage: its beachfront location provides sunset views and an immediate escape, augmented by proximity to Sarawak Cultural Village; however, some accommodations need modernisation. For guests, the allure lies in balancing natural beauty with patience for the aging infrastructure.”
