On Gaya Island within a protected marine park off Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Island Resort is a car-free rainforest retreat of hillside and mangrove-edge villas, with several restaurants, an award-winning eco-spa and an infinity pool.
Gaya Island Resort sits on Gaya Island within the protected Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park off Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, a car-free retreat where mangroves meet coral reefs beneath ancient rainforest, with views to Mount Kinabalu, reached by speedboat from the mainland. Accommodation runs across four villa categories, from the hillside Bayu Villa and the mangrove-edge Canopy Villa to the coveted Kinabalu Villa with sea and mountain views and the two-storey Suria Suite with an outdoor bath. Dining spans Feast Village for Asia-Pacific buffets, Fisherman’s Cove for seafood and its signature Gayan bouillabaisse, the Pool Bar & Lounge, the Japanese Omakase and the private-beach Tavajun Bay. The award-winning Spa Village Gaya Island has been named the world’s best eco spa, and there is an infinity pool with floating cabanas. Experiences focus on nature and conservation, from coral planting to wildlife. A YTL Luxury Resort and member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it suits eco-conscious travellers, couples and families who want a car-free island rainforest and marine-park retreat.
