Where can I find Rainforest World Music Festival accommodation?
During our recent stay in Kuching we loved staying at the Damai Beach Resort. As we were attending the Rainforest World Music Festival every day, the Damai Beach Resort was conveniently located right next door to the Sarawak Cultural Village where the festival was being held – a mere five minutes stroll away.

Our Damai Beach Resort Clifftop Villa room
The queen size bed was very comfortable
Our room was entered via a generously sized hallway.
Inside was a comfortable queen size bed plus a trundle bed. The living area was very spacious, with plenty of room for our family of three to spread out. There was ample storage with a desk, wardrobes and countertops through out.
The main room had double doors leading to a large balcony with incredible views out to across the resort to the mountain and out to sea.
A flat screen tv was a feature of the room, as well as a safe inside the wardrobe, plus tea and coffee making facilities.
We had a large, modern ensuite bathroom adjoining the main room. Inside was an excellent shower, toilet and a large vanity with mirror. A selection of toiletries were supplied and the towels were thick and soft.
Our rooms were serviced regularly and kept spotless and restocked during the length of our stay.
The Damai Beach Resort clifftop swimming pool
The Cliff Top pool was a wonderful place to relax
The Clifftop Villas also feature a clifftop swimming pool – one of the most beautiful swimming pools we’ve ever had the pleasure to swim in.
The pool hut attendant supplied pool towels
We often had this gorgeous pool to ourselves, and enjoyed spending time on the deluxe poolside lounges or swimming underneath the waterfall. A pool attendant was at a beach hut and supplied towels for the pool.
The swimming pool had a waterfall
With the balmy Sarawak temperatures, swimming offers a lovely cooling activity. With this amazing pool there was also the added bonus of gazing out at the incredible sea views and stunning Mount Santubong!
Our Damai Beach Resort hilltop apartment was family holiday heaven!
