Best Hotels in Bintulu

For many travelers, Bintulu is the practical and pleasantly surprising stopover between Miri and Sibu, a coastal town where Sarawak's industrial energy meets local life. The main draw is its access to the Similajau National Park, a stretch of golden sand and jungle just a short drive north, perfect for spotting proboscis monkeys and sea turtles. In town, the old fish market at Kampung Jepak offers a raw, authentic slice of daily commerce, while the evening hawker stalls at Parkcity Mall serve up superb Sarawak laksa and grilled seafood. It’s a place that feels genuinely lived-in, not built for tourists.

This city suits business travelers with its industrial port, but also works well for road-tripping families or independent explorers using it as a base for nature trips. Staying near the city centre or along Jalan Abang Galau keeps you close to local eateries and services. Bintulu Airport has good connections to Kuala Lumpur and Kuching, and the city is a major hub on the Pan-Borneo Highway, making it an essential link for anyone exploring Sarawak by car.
