With a spectacular spa and fantastic facilities, Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort & Spa is a unique retreat for nature lovers and a luxurious haven for relaxation in a 64-acre forest reserve. If you can tear yourself away from the beach or pool, make the most of the beautiful natural environment, including Rasa Ria Reserve’s newly renovated experiential areas – Adventure Point and the Nature Reserve. Set in the heart of the rainforest, Adventure Point is the ultimate playground for kids, with obstacle courses, treehouses and a 30-metre junior zip line. At the Nature Reserve, you can find more than 67 bird species and wildlife such as the endangered pangolin. Follow a guided walking trail with a or enjoy an exhibition at its new Discovery Centre. One of our favourite activities (for guests aged five and over) is the night walk with the in-house Forest Ranger, where you can don head torches or night vision goggles and search for Borneo's nocturnal wildlife like the bearcat, sambar deer, slow loris and even fireflies. From authentic Malaysian ‘street food’ at the Tepi Laut Makan Street restaurant and traditional Indian cuisine at Naan – Flavours of India, to Italian dishes at the Oceano Italian Restaurant, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining. Wherever you do decide to eat, our favourite foodie experiences include the 'breakfast with a view' where you start the day with the sun rising over UNESCO-listed Mount Kinabalu, and sunset cocktails at the laid-back Sampan Bar which overlooks the beach. The rooms have a balcony or terrace and are set in the Garden Wing with forest or garden views, or the Ocean Wing with sea views. Deluxe Garden View and Sea View Rooms are situated in the Garden Wing and face the front of the resort. If you choose a Junior Suite Sea View Room, you can enjoy a little extra luxury with a bathtub on your balcony.
In the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, lies the island of Pulau Gaya. Covered in dense tropical forest, this picturesque isle has been protected as a reserve since the early 1920s. Here, you will find Gaya Island Resort. The resort is close to some spectacular wildlife-spotting areas, so take advantage of the in-house guiding and information available and keep an eye out for the rare proboscis monkey, along with the island's many other characterful inhabitants. Set between verdant rainforest and a fine sandy beach with a house reef on the edge of a 40-acre estate, this hotel has a lap pool, fantastic spa programmes at the Spa Village and a great collection of restaurants. The interactive buffet venue Feast Village serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and diverse cuisine from all over the Asia-Pacific region. Fine dining, adults-only Fisherman’s Cove restaurant has a dinner menu full of freshly-caught seafood dishes. For a taste of Japan, head to Omakase, where your choice of teppanyaki is prepared by the talented chef. Shabu-shabu or nabe dishes are also available on request. You can enjoy a refreshing cocktail or light lunch at the casual Pool Bar and Lounge, or have lunch at the private Tavajun Bay, which is reached by a five minute boat ride. Nestled within the rainforest and mangroves, the resort is made up of 120 modern villas that have been built using the finest locally-sourced materials. The Canopy Villas sit on a gentle hillside just a short walk from the beach, whilst the Bayu Villas are set higher up in the forest with views of the rainforest canopy or tropical mangroves. A stay in the Kinabalu Villas means a bit of extra climbing, but they have stunning views of the glittering South China Sea. The extremely spacious two-level Suria Suite is perfect for families or groups.
