Hidden at the foot of Mount Santubong near the alluring Malaysian Borneo capital of Kuching, Cove 55 is the place to completely retreat from the rest of the world. A former holiday home turned intimate hideaway with ranking as Tripadvisor’s #1 property in Kuching, this boutique escape is home to 28 light-filled rooms.
Take a stroll through the perfectly manicured gardens and you'll find pristine white exteriors, tribal-inspired luxury and a 30-metre infinity swimming pool suspended above the South China Sea. The water is gloriously refreshing – you'll be tempted to soak until sunset. Then it's up to Kechala Restaurant & Bar for tantalising dishes infused with Sarawakian flavours, or perhaps the Cove Bar perched on the Sea Deck for a mixologist-crafted cocktail. Less than a 40-minute drive from Kuching City, this secluded spot is somewhere you can discover pristine nature and local culture effortlessly, while away an afternoon in the Library and fall asleep each night to the sound of waves.

Reviews
Cove 55 is a beautiful small resort in an amazing location, with the sea to one side, and mount Santubong to the other. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The jewel in the crown is the pool deck — stunning pool over the sea. (from Tripadvisor)
The best place to stay by far! Fresh and clean rooms...Rooms are spacious and smell so great. Food in the restaurant is high quality and the staff will do everything to make your stay the best stay. Swimming pool is open also at night so you can swim under the stars! I could not recommend this place more — we extended our stay.

Very beautiful resort with clean and comfortable rooms. The balcony has sofa and chairs for people to chill and enjoy the sea view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though it was fully booked, we still felt a sense of exclusivity with not many people around. Will definitely come back here. (from Tripadvisor)
