Belum Rainforest Resort

Situated in the state of Perak, at the border of Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand, the stunning landscape of Belum-Temengor Rainforest houses over 3,000 species of flowering plants, including three species of the largest flower in the world - the Rafflesia. It is also the natural habitat of 64 species of ferns, 62 species of mosses, and has a lake that is home to 23 species of freshwater fish and 5 species of turtles. The entire forest complex is approximately four times the size of Singapore, which makes it the ideal place for large animals such as tigers, elephants and rhinoceroses to roam and breed, undisturbed by man. The resort will in time become Malaysia's premier ecotourism holiday destination. Set in the midst of a tropical paradise, the resort, which is located on Pulau Banding, promises to be everything nature lovers and holiday-goers expect in a getaway destination: complete relaxation and serenity, stunning views and surroundings, adventure, unmatched service, and the chance to get close to nature. The unspoiled magic of Belum, which literally means ‘land before time', makes it the perfect habitat for 14 of the world's most threatened mammals, including the Malaysian Tiger, Sumatran Rhinoceros, the White-handed Gibbon, Asiatic Elephant, and Malayan Tapir. It also makes this forest an ideal destination for ecotourism activities, such as wildlife watching, education and research initiatives, which support the conservation efforts of the area.
