Sunset paradise
A nice and amazing place to chill with friends or family members, walk-in is acceptable but depending on the seats available and choice of seats are limited. The whole environment was so relaxing, surrounded by palm trees, music and sound from ocean. Here is the nearest place at Kota kinabalu where you have a wonderful sunset experience. #sabah#shangrila##Sunsetbar

🔶Sabah sunset in Malaysia is known as one of the three most beautiful sunsets in the world, and Tanjung Aru Beach is the best place to watch this beauty. And the best viewing point is undoubtedly the sunset bar at Shangri-La Hotel. ✨
🔶Every evening, people come here spontaneously to enjoy the unique sunset. As the sun sets in the west, it slowly descends and the sea gradually turns golden, until the whole sky and sea are bathed in a golden glow 🌅, like a dream that intoxicates people with its beauty 🧡.
🔶 About Hotel
a sea view room! It's super beautiful!
From the balcony, you can see the sea 🏖️, which is super dreamy! The weather was great in the evenings during those days. The toiletries in the bathroom were also good and smelled nice, especially the tea tree scent 🍂.
🔶 About Restaurant

The closest scenic lounge chair to the sea is 278 meters per person, and you can order a set meal. The high bar chair is 128 meters per person, and you can order two drinks and a snack. The regular seats behind only cost 39 meters per person and come with only two drinks 🍹.
Around 6:30pm, the sun is almost setting on the horizon, take as many photos 📸 as you want, it's really stunning! The visible beauty is indescribable in words. The sunset is truly gorgeous, especially for taking great shots 🌠.

Don't just go to Teldrassil 🌴 Malaysia is also fun 🥥👇
All in the tropics, Malaysia is no less than Teldrassil 🌴
Recommended route 👣 Kuala Lumpur 👉 Sabah
Share a few off-the-beaten-path travel destinations~ ⬇️⬇️
1⃣️🏖️Sabah Danang Beach
Sabah trip is all about watching the sunset, and Tanjung Aru Beach was once named one of the top ten most beautiful sunset viewing spots in the world by National Geographic magazine 🌇.
🧡Best viewing spot: Sunset Bar at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa
🧡How to reserve a bar location: Just make a reservation with the front desk when you check in. We reserved the first row of lounge chairs.
⚠️Tips: The bar opens from 4pm to 7pm in the afternoon. It is recommended to arrive around 4pm to secure a better seat. During peak season, it is recommended to make a reservation via email in advance.
🧡Other viewing locations: If you want to take photos of the beach reflection, you need to walk out of the hotel to Tanjung Beach. The first beach will be crowded, so it is recommended to go to the third beach on the right side after going out.
🧡The thing I don't regret the most about my trip to Sabah is booking this hotel.
2️⃣️🧜Sabah Mermaid Island
A very beautiful sunset 🌄, you can go snorkeling and catch starfish 🌟.
At night, go to the mangrove forest to search for long-armed apes and fireflies.
My friends and I all held fireflies in our palms and made wishes. We were very lucky!
3⃣️🕌️Sabah Floating Mosque
The decorations inside the temple are very distinctive.
Before entering, you need to rent Muslim clothes.
You can pick a set of clothes you like and experience the local style.
⚠️(Pay attention to the opening hours of the mosque)
4️⃣️🎀Pink Mosque of Kuala Lumpur
Girl's heart 💕 explodes! No girl can resist.
About 35 kilometers away from the city center.
Please check in advance if it is open on that day.
5️⃣️🏙️Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur
No need to go to Taipei 101 to watch fireworks, there will be beautiful fireworks at the Twin Towers at midnight on New Year's Eve 👇
🧡Best viewing spot: Blue Sky Bar on the 51st floor of The Face Suites hotel.
🧡The infinity pool is also super beautiful, and you can take close-up shots of the Twin Towers~
5️⃣️Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
I ❤️ KL landmark is right here, you can come and check in.
6️⃣️Food recommendations 🍜
Definitely try Feng Ye! The durian bread is delicious! We ate it for two days in a row! Their chicken and three-color tea are also very good! This restaurant is located on Jia Ya Street, which has many delicious options, such as bak kut teh and salted egg yolk baked crab 🦀️!
7️⃣️About language 🗣️
Basically, many people can speak Chinese, even Teochew and Cantonese! Simple English communication is also possible~

One of the Shangri-La that I like the most
I stayed at few Shangri-La hotels before and this is one that I like the most. We travelled to my mom’s hometown (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia) few months ago and have a short vacation there. A lovely hotel with nice beach and cool beers while we sat in the Bar Island and with the view of the pictures uploaded despite the temperature at that point of time is 32-34 degree celsius.
I was impressed by the staff there where their staff came from different countries and spoke different languages. There was a Japan family served by a staff came from japan.
I will definitely stay at this hotel and visit Kota Kinabalu again.

Buffet dinner at Shangrila-la
Falling in love with Borneo isn’t hard, but it’s all the better when you can experience it with a family-friendly luxury hotel as your base. The price is including the breakfast, instead of dinner. The dinner buffet including local seafood, dessert and others.
Kayyyyy
Shangrila-La Hotel & Resort
Have a 2D1N in Shangrila Hotel located at Tanjung Aru, KK. Overall the environment is beautiful and chill. I didn't think of visit their gym as we just enjoy our time at the pool, sunset bar, sitting right under the coconut tree for some cool sea breeze and looking at all mini lizards coming out for sun tanning.
The main reason why I’ve chosen the shangrila hotel is because of the view. Just have a panoramic view of what we had from our room balcony. Wide view of the field with sea view and coconut trees where there's beach chair for you to hang out.
Kayyyyy
Kota Kinabalu
Getting There - From airport less than 5-6km. Easiest way to rent a car from airport or take grab.

We stayed in Kota Kinabalu for three nights, all of which are the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Hotel.
The hotel is only 10-15 minutes drive from the airport, and 6 kilometers from the city of Kota Kinabalu.
Personally feel that Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Hotel is the best hotel in Kota Kinabalu. There are many people who come to see the sunset every evening. As a hotel guest, there is an advantage that you can book "Sunset". Location, at sunset, its perfect to have a cocktail on the sunset.

First of all, it is one of the three best hotels in the world to watch the sunset, followed by Kota Kinabalu It has a dedicated children's water park, and it also has private beaches, spa clubs, and many marine entertainment projects. The infinity pool with a depth of 1.9 meters is enough for your desire for snorkeling or swimming, and the hotel can rent a life jacket for free. It is not difficult to learn to swim here.

Shangri-La Hotel in Kota Kinabalu
Shangri-La Hotel in Kota Kinabalu is a popular destination among Koreans, where English is widely spoken, and the environment is pleasant.
The merit of the hotel seems to be that you can watch the sunset directly from the balcony of the room. Additionally, there is an adult pool and a separate pool, as well as a private beach, making it perfect for water activities! Right in front of the private beach, there is also a bar, which was great for setting the mood. Haha

Chasing Sunset in Sabah🏜️
#malaysia
Going to Sabah, chasing the sunset is one of the most important thing that you can never miss out!!! Almost everyday, when there is no rain, the sky will turn orange and gradually become purple and it makes KK as one of the best sunset spot in the world!!
Highly recommend to visit the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort as you will be able to the best angle of sunset here!!!
Tip:
if you would like to chill with some drinks while waiting for the sunset, you may go visit the Sunset Bar in the resort!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
