Our first peaceful sleep guest reported
That she had been attending sleep clinics at leading international medical centers and none of them gave her the good sleep she was seeking. Her sleep app recorded 100% sleep quality on the first night of this program and stayed at this high level throughout the program.
Our guest had long experienced low-quality sleep. The app, Sleep Cycle, shows the days before the 3-day program. Then, on the first night, for the first time in the guest’s life, the app recorded 100% sleep quality. The second night was recorded at 97%, and the third night recorded 100% sleep quality. Our guest is delighted and immediately shared these results with her sleep clinic.

AWE Signature Massage Treatments
Experience our unique indigenous deep-tissue massage from a local Penan expert. In addition, our spa therapists offer soothing AWE massage using Borneo aromas and relaxation techniques. Research has shown that massage therapy helps to reduce stress and depression and to create a generalized feeling of wellbeing.
Facial Masks, Enzymes and Scrubs
Supplement these therapies with organic enzymatic face-washes. All of AWE’s skincare products are evidence-based and proven for effectiveness.
Hand and Foot Treatments
Leave the stress of the day behind and relax in expert hands in our luxurious spa. A herbal foot soak and then a soothing foot massage begins the experience. Revel in the fragrant aromas of our custom-made massage oils, specially designed with a selection of Borneo’s healing and fragrant plants.
Integrative Yoga
Against the backdrop of the rainforest, ease into gentle stretching movements and slow deep breathing to restore your balance and energy.
Meditation
Journey away from the stresses of everyday life and settle into the power and presence of your inner Being. Using evidence-backed methods, AWE journeys are designed to expand your awareness, rewire brain pathways and unleash endorphins that translate into joy and happiness.
Dance Exercise
Step back in time to ancient Sarawak, where ethnic dancers are taught gentle movements and expressions to honor a harvest or celebrate the forest. In this relaxing dance exercise, experience physical and mental wellness, evidenced by science to improve motor function, brain function, mood and balance. We also offer modern dancercise activities for a more energetic experience.
Aerobic and Strength Training
Exercise your strength in Mulu’s caves, forest trails and canopy walks. Evidence shows that these strength methods create permanent change to your physiology at the cellular level.
Bathing at Clearwater Pool
Slip into the cool waters flowing directly from the Clearwater Cave, one of the largest cave systems in the world. As you wade into its clear waters, you will sense that there is something profoundly healing about the water. The cold temperature burns fat to keep the body warm and elevates respiratory rate – which results in invigoration and a rare sense of alertness. Highly mineralized waters from its 60-million-year-old mountains, invigorates, with bathers feeling refreshed from within.
Evening Knowledge Exchange
Form a deeper connection with like-minded people on a quest to unlock their best selves. Evening Knowledge Exchange sessions are conversational, thought provoking and transformative.
Medicinal Walk
Pick a fragrant jungle herb as your indigenous Penan medicinal guide explains its uses to you on a fascinating medicinal walk on the fringes of the rainforest. Your guide, trained by his grandfather, is renowned locally for his herbal knowledge and skills, and also works with the scientific community in documenting Penan knowledge of rainforest medicine.
Indigenous Wellness Cuisine
Savor the rich, nourishing and deeply satisfying meals and beverages, prepared using the best traditional produce from Sarawak. Designed to deliver optimal nutrition, this Borneo-inspired menu draws on indigenous food traditions that are scientifically proven for their restorative benefits.
Peaceful Sleep (optional)
Slip effortlessly into a deeply rejuvenating and peaceful rest with our AWE sleep program. Drawing on a blend of Ayurvedic and natural therapies, your expert therapist helps you to restore balance to the sleep cycle. As researchers from the National Centre for Social Research in UK have stated: “A good night’s sleep is the biggest single contributor to better living”.
