Gaya Island Resort

Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Most of us are (very!) familiar with the desire to find somewhere to retreat from the rush of the world for a while; to let your mind reset amid simpler surroundings. The award-winning Gaya Island Resort is just such a place, and exquisitely so. Situated in sheltered seclusion on the eastern shores of Pulau Gaya, this is somewhere to experience the full bliss of Borneo’s desert island side. 

The resort has been built with an eye on preserving the island’s rugged natural beauty, with villas set amongst dense rainforest and a sumptuous spa village nestling amid the mangroves. Along with embodying an admirable dedication to the region’s vital conservation, the resort doesn’t skimp on offering guests a feeling of deep luxury. The villas are spacious and private, the bespoke dining celebrates local cuisine, and the views across the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park are of the kind that soothe the soul.
