The Shorea is conceived as an architect’s family retreat, immersed in a virgin forest reserve. Its secluded villas are set on natural terrains, with meandering paths leading down to a jungle stream, a waterfall within the Berembun Forest Reserve; it is the ultimate forest getaway.
The name ‘Shorea’ is a genus of about 196 species of rainforest trees which include Balau, Chengal, Merangti, Keruing, etc. The resort is constructed by using mainly the shorea species which is sourced locally.
The resort is also constructed using recycled materials, these include the roof tiles, main roof beams, timber pillars, chengal, staircases, balustrades, and timber bridge.
