Each hut has an uninterrupted view of the sea from the front deck. Made of natural materials, there are no glass windows or doors which allows the air to circulate and keep the chalet surprisingly cool. Each hut is fitted with a ceiling fan, and you can request an additional pedestal fan if required, but there’s really no need for aircon due to the chalets unique position- sheltered by the jungle trees and with the cooling sea breeze. Each hut has an attached bathroom with toilet, sink and cold water shower. Perfect for cooling off after a day on the beach, snorkelling on the exclusive coral reef, diving, or simply enjoying cocktails at the bar. The bedroom is spacious, with a large comfortable bed- the bed is fitted with a mosquito net due to the open air nature of the chalet (if you would prefer a room with two single beds, please message us to see if we have availability). If there are 3 of you staying, we will add in an additional single bed with mosquito net.

Please do check out our reviews on other platforms. The onsite restaurant creates 3 hand cooked meals a day. Bookings made via this listing include breakfast and dinner for each day of your stay. If you wish to have lunch then you can either have a cooked lunch, or there are more snacky food options available (sandwiches, french fries etc)- all lunch options will need to be purchased separately. All dietary requirements and tastes can be catered for, including separate meals for children. The bar at Rimba is the most magical place. There is a large, open, chill out area with comfy bean bags and Thai beds, where you can spend hours enjoying uninterrupted 180 degree views of the sea (and the sunset!). The bar itself is well stocked with ice cold beer, delicious hand crafted cocktails, a curated wine menu, juices and fresh coconuts. There is a water cooler in the chill out area where you can refill your water bottle at any time of the day. The ambience and the amazing staff make it the perfect place for a quiet drink before dinner. The friendly Rimba staff are always up for a chat over a few drinks, and the late night atmosphere at the bar is something that is completely unique. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll want to come back- trust us! In the bar and restaurant area, fast STARLINK wifi is available for you to use at any time, free of charge. The wifi does not extend to all of the chalets, further allowing you to switch off from the outside world. If Wifi is vital for you in your chalet, we’d recommend purchasing an E-Sim before visiting if you do not already have one. ---------------------- What can you do at Rimba? Private Beach! Due to Rimba’s unique location within a private bay, you have access to our stunning beach. The only other people using the beach will be other guests at the resort, and as the resort isn’t very big- and the beach is quiet long- it never feels busy. And often you’ll have it to yourselves. There is plenty of soft, white, sand- perfect for sun bathing or building sand castles. Due to the coral reef, the water is a bit rocky in places. But you can always find a sandy spot in the water to bob about in when the tide is higher. At low tide, you cannot easily swim due to the rocks. However if you have rock shoes, you can walk up the boat channel at low tide and still snorkel/swim over the coral reef. Snorkelling The onsite house reef offers some pristine snorkelling. If you swim out far enough, there are huge corals and an abundance of sea life. You’ll often spot small reef sharks in the water which can be seen from the beach. Pulau Sibu is located within a marine park, which has helped to preserve the quality of the house reef (and reduce the number of boats that you’ll see during your stay). The resort also offers snorkelling trips to the surrounding uninhabited islands within the marine park. If you are thinking about doing this, definitely go for it! The islands are stunningly beautiful, and offer some fantastic snorkelling and diving opportunities. Diving The onsite dive base offers a range of PADI courses as well as dive trips to the surrounding islands. These will need to be booked in advance, and we’ll message you ahead of your stay about the options available. From the dive centre you can also hire snorkelling gear, kayaks and paddle boards- perfect for exploring the private bay. Hiking From Rimba Resort, you can walk through the jungle and explore the rest of the island of Pulau Sibu. This is definitely a hike- the path isn’t flat and there are plenty of up and down bits, a large rock to scale and tree roots to navigate. The path leads to another resort, with a sandy beach- definitely take your swimming costume with you as there’s nothing better than a refreshing dip in the sea after conquering the jungle path! From here you can choose to venture further across the island to the local village. Rimba really is a back to nature escape, expect to see beautiful butterflies, little lizards, birds- they are all around you. You may even be lucky enough to spot a monitor lizard or perhaps even a snake! Fortunately, there are no monkeys on Pulau Sibu. There are no roads at Rimba, the only way to get to and from your chalet is down a sandy path (shoes optional!). With this comes the added bonus of no road noise. As the bay is completely private to Rimba, there are no shops or other restaurants, which is why we provide both breakfast and dinner within the price of your stay. There are a range of lunch options to choose from, including a set lunch or lighter options such as sandwiches or french fries. All lunch items are available at an additional cost. Due to the remote nature of the resort, everything has to be brought in from the mainland via boat- quite a feat when you think about it! The resort is powered by a generator, providing you with electricity in your chalet. Guest access You will have private use of your chalet and it's attached ensuite bathroom. Both the onsite bar, restaurant and dive base are within easy walking distance of your chalet. The bar is open from 10am until the last guest leaves! At the bar, you can enjoy relaxing in the chill out area (no drinks purchases necessary). Or take a seat of the deck to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The beach is right in front of you, and you're free to explore everything that the beach and coral reef has to offer. Other things to note * Please note that our standard chalets are only suitable for a maximum of 3 adults, or for 2 adults and 2 children. We cannot accommodate 4 adults on one standard chalet. Please contact us if you would like to book more than one chalet* Rimba Resort is only accessible via private speed boat. The cost of a return transfer to Tanjung Leman jetty is RM 170 ++ per adult and RM 120++ per child, which is payable at the resort.
