Luxury Holidays in Borneo

Vibrant Malaysian resort destination

With its close proximity to beautiful tropical islands, Kota Kinabalu is a vibrant Malaysian resort destination. The city is the capital of Sabah state and is named after Mount Kinabalu to the northeast.

The Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is a great place to see tigers, rhinoceros and monkeys, while the nature reserves around Sabah offer jungle treks into the wilds. Elsewhere, the Monsopiad Cultural Village is a heritage park dedicated to the Kadazan-Dusun people’s way of life.

The Handicraft Market next to Kota Kinabalu waterfront is a cornucopia of coastal crafts and objets d’art. Stroll along the seafront, sampling local delicacies sold at foodstalls or enjoy fine dining at the sumptuous pier-side restaurants neighbouring the open-air fish market.
