Happy weekend, everyone! While we can only plan ou

Happy weekend, everyone! While we can only plan our staycations for now, here’s another one for the list, thanks to talented photographer @alfezauther 📸 @tegudontourismvillage is a camping site in the countryside of Sabah, with emphasis on “country”.

Fall asleep under the Milky Way to the soothing sounds of the Tondidigon River next to you and wake up in the morning and stretch to the magnificent views of the vibrant green (or gold, depending on the season) surrounding paddy field 🌾 Sounds like a dream!

Word on the block is there’s a new lemonade stan

Word on the block is there’s a new lemonade stand in Tutong and it’s run by the most adorable group of Panchorbois! 🍋 Made with real fruits, their freshly squeezed lemonade will cost you 50 cents (S) to $1.50. You can also sit down al fresco with a bowl of their homemade cut fries and enjoy the free mini library (book donations are welcome!)📚🍟 We definitely can’t wait to make the road trip down to #supportlocal 😍

📍 #65, Kg Panchor Dulit, Tutong (few meters away from the simpang to Bukit Ambog)
🕔 5-9pm depending on the weather (closed on Mondays)

We are absolutely loving the upcycling concept beh

We are absolutely loving the upcycling concept behind this “Rainbow Chair” design! 🌈 Wanting to develop a sustainable piece of furniture, the Borneo-based team behind Wendy Teo Atelier (@wendyteobt) implemented the simple act of “plastic braiding” with used plastic bags and after two days, the rainbow chair was created!

With weaving being a dominant handicraft technique in Borneo, it’s always a beautiful thing when heritage meets sustainability! Do you know any other companies who do this? 😍 Tag them in the comments section below!

Happy Independence Day to our Malaysian readers, family and friends! 🇲🇾 Did you know the Hibiscus rosa-sinesis was declared the national flower by the Malaysian government in 1960 and its Malay name “Bunga Raya” literally means the "celebratory flower”? 😍🌺

If, like us, you grew up with a fantasy of living

If, like us, you grew up with a fantasy of living in a tree house, we’re happy to announce that it's not too late to do so, thanks to this Sarawakian gem of a resort, @permairainforestresort.

But unlike the tree houses from our childhood, this one comes equipped with real life sceneries such as the Santubong National Park in its backyard, a private beach and jungle pools—all located at the foot of the mystical Mount Santubong. Just 40 minutes away from Kuching, this eco-resort beckons to the nature-loving souls in us 😍 Check out permairainforest.com for more information! #BiGHideaways

Ahh what scenic bliss! 😍 But did you know that

Ahh what scenic bliss! 😍 But did you know that Berhala island, located in Sabah’s Sandakan Bay, used to be home to a leper colony at one point? It was also a quarantine station for labourers as well as an internment camp for prisoners of war during World War 2. Talk about an island with a history!

Today the beauteous island is more known for being a rock climber’s paradise with a slew of fun activities suited for tourists.

We’ve been dreaming about blissful getaways a lot lately and The Village House by Singgahsana, a quaint boutique guesthouse located 30 mins from Kuching by car and 3 mins from Santubong Beach by foot, struck us as the perfect hideaway to unwind and recharge.

Complete with a library, a den, a reputable restaurant, a lounge, gazebos and many other chill out areas, all we can hear is rest and relaxation for days 💆🏻💆🏻‍♂️ Check them out at @thevillagehousesinggahsana or villagehouse.com.my for more information! #BiGHideaways
