Shangri-La Rasa Ria Kota Kinabalu
Beach Hotel
Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu, a captivating five-star resort in Sabah, Malaysia, unfolds across over 400 acres of untouched natural splendor where sandy beaches meet lush rainforest, offering elegantly furnished guest rooms as a serene sanctuary for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
Each space, adorned in warm earthy tones, welcomes with a flat-screen television, minibar, and coffee or tea making facilities, while private balconies reveal gentle garden or sea vistas, complemented by luxurious Shangri-La toiletries and plush bathrobes for moments of quiet indulgence amid the reserve's whispering canopy.
The resort's six restaurants paint Borneo's culinary landscape with Japanese precision in sushi platters, Western comforts like herb-crusted roasts, Malaysian specialties simmering with local spices, and Oriental delicacies that bridge east and west, all drawing from the island's fresh bounty to delight every taste. A beachside bar stirs tropical elixirs as waves lap nearby, and the music lounge hums with soft melodies over crafted drinks, inviting evenings to linger in easy harmony. Two outdoor pools, one reserved for Ocean Wing guests, catch the sunlight's play, while the in-house spa's varied treatments ease the body with gentle, nature-infused care, and the 24-hour front desk arranges over 60 immersive pursuits from sunrise walks and birdwatching to watersports and horse riding through jungle trails.
Encircled by a 64-acre nature reserve and the Signature 18-hole golf course, Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu lies 35 km from the city centre, 72 km from Kinabalu Mountain, and a 40 km drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, weaving the South China Sea's allure with Borneo's wild heart.
