Kalimantan Hotels

One of Indonesia’s least-visited regions, Kalimantan is an Indonesian territory that makes up 73% of Borneo Island. Divided into four provinces, Kalimantan is best known as one of the last bastions of indigenous cultures in the world. Home to untouched rainforests and a wide range of exotic fauna especially around the Kayan Mentarang National Park, the Apokayan Highlands and around the eastern reaches of Sungai Kapuas, Kalimantan subtly balances modernity with tradition.

Diving off the east coast along Pulau Derawan or visiting the water villages and floating markets of Banjarmasin are just a few of Kalimantan’s tourist draws. The region’s got a wide variety of accommodation options – budget deals are limited but there’s a healthy range of mid-range hotels and a few luxury ventures. The four-star Swiss Belhotel Borneo Samarinda Hotel is an opulent, 183-room establishment that offers good rates.
