Sarawak is a land of colourful cultures boasting 27 ethnic groups, making up a population of 1.8 million.

The majority of the population live in a few large towns and cities, but a significant percentage still live in longhouses and villages in the remote areas.

The Ibans or famously known as the legendary headhunters of Borneo constitute the biggest ethnic group (29.6 %) in Sarawak. They are originally from Kalimantan, and so their culture and traditions are very similar to the Dayaks in Kalimantan. 

Be charmed and mesmerised by their cultural festivals and celebrations. Let the romance of Sarawak's rich cultural diversity set the stage for your perfect holiday!
