Mercure Pangkalan Bun

Tanjung Puting National Park

150 Rooms
|
From $50 per person/night
Your comfortable gateway to Borneo's wild orangutan encounters.

Most travellers arrive in Pangkalan Bun for one reason: the extraordinary orangutans of Tanjung Puting National Park. This modern Mercure – the first international hotel chain in Central Borneo – serves as the comfortable bookend to what will likely be a multi-day klotok boat cruise through the jungle. After hours on a traditional wooden houseboat (or before heading out), the contrast is welcome: proper beds, hot showers, air conditioning, and a pool to decompress. It's not the main event, but it makes the adventure considerably more civilised.

Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa

Eastern Cape

From $230 per person/night
Sleep beside a working lighthouse where Thunderbolt Reef claimed ships for centuries.
Tucked away at the southern tip of Algoa Bay, Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa occupies what might be South Africa's most dramatic address – right next to an 1851 lighthouse that still warns ships off the notorious Thunderbolt Reef. This two-bedroom hideaway sits within a 366-hectare nature reserve where you'll have the beach virtually to yourself from 7pm to 7am. Whether you fancy self-catering solitude or having chef Simon whip up beachside feasts, the villa delivers both romance and isolation in spades. Marine safaris reveal dolphins and penguins, lighthouse tours unlock maritime drama, and that World War II bunker? Just another quirk in this wonderfully weird coastal escape.
