Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu
Step into an exclusive sanctuary tucked within Malaysia’s tropical Borneo with this glamorous Shangri-La stay. An untouched oasis set among 400 acres of beachfront rainforest, this is the perfect escape from city life, complete with a sprawling three-kilometre stretch of private golden sands.
Spend your days relaxing by one of two shimmering pools, practicing your swing at the resort’s 18-hole championship golf course, cutting through the waves on a jet-ski or exploring the lush rainforest reserve on guided rainforest walks.
Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu sits along Pantai Dalit Beach on Malaysia’s island of Borneo. Encompassing 400 sprawling acres, including 64 acres of forest reserve, the resort boasts plenty of hiking trails, as well as three kilometres of pristine private beach.
