Show on Map
Within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park off the coast of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo, Gaya Island Resort Kota Kinabalu rests along the coast of Malohom Bay, a natural sanctuary nestled in the hillside of an ancient rainforest with a stunning outline of Mount Kinabalu on the horizon. The resort's architecture respects Sabahan elements; its 120 villas and two-bedroom suite use local materials and blend harmoniously with the natural environment while villa interiors are designed with a contemporary elegance.Yet this is more than just a beautiful beachfront resort in stunning surroundings; with its PURE activities, this is a place for the curious to actively engage or peacefully absorb all Borneo has to offer. Seamlessly integrated within the mangroves is Spa Village, offering a rich tapestry of spa programs that reflect the ancient healing practices of the region while restoring balance to alleviate modern stresses. Dining is a burst of freshness and flavor; exquisite, sensory and sublime. Discoveries, authentic experiences and a sense of intimacy with the natural world all prevail across the land and seascape of this resort, with its youthful vibe and sun-dappled moments, offering travelers and families an escape that is distinctively Borneo. Gaya Island Resort is committed to ecologically-sustainable practices to minimize the carbon footprint within its environment. Therefore, the resort is a walking resort and only minimal motorized vehicles are used for operational purposes.Show More

The hotel environment is beautiful, the rooms are very large and clean, the service staff are more enthusiastic, the breakfast is rich, there are many mosquitoes on the island, don't put food on the terrace, it will attract a lot of monkeys.

Environment is nice, staffs are welcoming and helpful. Room is spacious and clean, but food is just so so and overpriced. The private beach area is small, and not that clean if you walk a bit far from the beach chair area.

The hotel is great in every aspect. I will stay here again if I come to Kota Kinabalu again and will recommend it to my friends.

The hotel is on the island, and we arrived at the pier at 6pm. After running around along the way, we finally got on the hotel to and from the resort. Because we changed our itinerary temporarily, the hotel introduced the facilities and rooms before and after booking, and the service in this area was very good. ***a Island Resort is a harbor in the inner bay, not a large sea view, and there will be less wind and waves and bad weather. The room types are all villas, 4 small units, with an area of about 45 square meters. The environment is great, get up early to watch the sunrise, and do shallow diving on the coast in the afternoon. There are many charged items on the island, and there is no cost-effectiveness. Cash and credit cards are accepted

The service on the island is very good, the staff are very enthusiastic, the room is a little old, but everything else is very good. There is a private beach and many exploration projects that can be booked in advance. The hotel has a schedule for all projects, and you can make an appoin**ent if you want to go.
