Set on a three-kilometre stretch of white-sand beach approximately 45 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, Shangri-La Rasa Ria stands apart for its unique combination of coastal luxury and protected natural surroundings.
Backed by 400 acres of tropical forest and its own 64-acre nature reserve, the resort offers rare opportunities to encounter Sabah's wildlife and landscapes while enjoying one of the region's most extensive beachfront settings.
The resort features 494 guestrooms and suites across the Garden Wing and the exclusive Ocean Wing. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, with private balconies or lanais, while Ocean Wing accommodation offers additional premium touches, including outdoor bathtubs and views across the gardens or the South China Sea.
The resort boasts an impressive selection of dining venues, including international cuisine at Coffee Terrace, Malaysian favourites at Tepi Laut, Japanese teppan-yaki at Kozan, contemporary dining at Oceano Modern Grill and refined Oriental cuisine at The Eighth.
"Few resorts in Borneo can match Rasa Ria's combination of luxury beachfront living and access to a wildlife-rich nature reserve, creating opportunities to experience Sabah's remarkable natural environment without compromising on comfort." Stef Studley, Senior Product & Travel Specialist
