SANTUBONG SUITES
Santubong Suites is an exclusive apartment complex designed with the discerning in mind. Peace and quiet, fresh air, natural surroundings and technologically advanced facilities ensure that nothing is left to be desired at this location.
Nestled in the foliage of an age-old rainforest and exotic mangroves, at the prehistoric foot of Mountain Santubong, a crucial aspect of the design brief was to ensure that the development is not obtrusive upon its natural surroundings, and throughout the construction care was taken to minimise any impact on the environment.
Quality living
The satisfaction of owning a Santubong Suite condominium begins as you make your way from Kuching down the winding Damai Road. Greeted by a seaside vista, landscaped with natural gardens, and a calming fountain at the porte cochere, you appreciate your seclusion.
Security and privacy
There is no price for true security and privacy. Santubong Suites extends this dictum throughout the complex which lies over 4 acres of lush rainforest. Lift lobbies and lifts require access cards for entry. Security features are placed at each tower granting access to residents only or those strictly by invitation. All vehicles and resident parking areas are secured by gates accessible only by the privileged residents of the complex. Santubong Suites is targeted at those who appreciate the finer aspects of life.

Level 1 in each tower houses unique apartments, one of which includes a private garden making it an exceptional property. Levels 2 to 13 house more apartments with five units per floor ranging in area from 1408 to 1673 square feet (130 to 155 square metres). Four penthouse units crown the glory of each tower on levels 14 and 15 each exceeding 4000 square feet (371 square metres).
Every apartment at Santubong Suites has been constructed and finished to the highest specification (Download Detailed Building Specifications Here), and come with views of the rainforest, Santubong Mountain, the South China Sea, outlying islands, Damai Golf Course and the mangrove forest.
Finally, because Santubong Mountain has been declared a National Park, thus limiting other developments nearby, the exclusiveness of your investment is guaranteed.

Design and options
Santubong Suites comprises 132 units incorporated in two towers, each 15 storeys high. These superior condominiums are available in several distinctive configurations of various dimensions to serve a diversity of requirements and preferences.
Two and a half levels of car parks supply residents with at least one car parking bay (Penthouse owners have the privilege of three bays). Card-access controlled automated sliding gates secure the naturally ventilated car parks. This is the primary access into the building for residents, enabling secure and covered passage from the outside world to their seaside retreat.
Storage facilities are also on offer on the car parking levels. On the lower-most floor looking out onto the natural garden is a gymnasium complete with changing rooms, meeting rooms, children's play room, and clubroom. The entire podium has been designed to blend with the natural surroundings or to be otherwise obscured.
Visitors to Santubong Suites arrive at the reception area, common to the two towers, where they are greeted by Security and Reception personnel. Below the reception area is the café lounge that extends to the outdoor pool terrace and swimming pool. The edgeless pool blends infinitely into the fertile mangrove landscape and the sea. From here, covered linkways lead to fully secure lift lobbies in the two towers - Santubong Tower and Sejinjang Tower - named after the two fabled mountains in the area.

Sarawak Cultural Village
The Sarawak Cultural Village was the brainchild of the Sarawak Development Corporation which built Sarawak’s ‘living museum’ to promote and preserve Sarawak’s cultural heritage. With increasing numbers of young tribal people being tempted from their longhouses into the modern sectors of the economy, many of Sarawak’s traditional crafts have begun to die out. The Cultural Village contains some superb examples of traditional architecture and provides an introduction to the cultural traditions of all the main ethnic groups in Sarawak.
The Cultural Village is also the venue for the annual Rainforest Music Festival (www.rainforestmusic-borneo.com) which takes place sometime between June and August.
Santubong and Buntal
The village of Santubong itself, located at the mouth of the Santubong River, is small and quiet. Formerly a fishing village, most of the villagers now work in one of the nearby resorts. However, fishing still goes on, and the daily catch is still sold every morning at the quayside. Buntal, which is just off the Kuching Santubong road, is popular with local Kuchingites who visit at weekends for the seafood restaurants.
Bako National Park
Just 37km north of Kuching, Bako is situated on the beautiful Muara Tebas Peninsula, a former river delta which has been thrust above sea level. Its sandstone cliffs, which are patterned and streaked with iron deposits, have been eroded to produce a dramatic coastline with secluded coves and beaches. Millions of years of erosion by the sea has resulted in the formation of wave-cut platforms, honeycomb weathering, arches and sea-stacks. Bako’s most distinctive feature is the westernmost headland – Tanjung Sapi – a 100-m high sandstone plateau, which is unique in Borneo.
Established in 1957, Bako was Sarawak’s first national park, and has an exceptional variety of flora and is one of the few areas in Sarawak inhabited by the rare proboscis monkey known by Malays as ‘Orang Belanda’, or Dutchmen, or even ‘Pinocchio of the jungle’ because of their long noses. The park also has resident populations of squirrels, mouse deer, sambar deer, wild pigs, long-tailed macaques, flying lemur, silver leaf monkeys and palm civet cats.
