About this property
Cove 55 is a luxurious private boutique hotel at the foot of Mount Santubong, an undiscovered paradise near Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

It offers an infinity pool facing the South China Sea, Pool Bar, fully equipped Fitness Center and free Wi-Fi access in its public areas. The Iban owners’ heritage and diverse culture is evident in everything from the cuisine to interior design. Some villas have private ocean-view pools, while others have a private outdoor mangrove deck. Rooms in the main building either have balconies or private courtyards, as well as ensuites with rain shower. All the luxuriously decorated rooms offer air conditioning.
