Introduction
Situated off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Pulau Gaya is the largest of five islands that make up the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. The island became a forest reserve in 1923 and Sabah’s second National Park in 1974. Today, it is a tropical paradise and the ideal place for a relaxing escape. Guests can also enhance their stay with an upgrade to a spacious Bayu Villa or an elegant Kinabalu Villa, offering elevated comfort and stunning views.
