Shangri-La Rasa Ria

Kota Kinabalu

Nestled between two miles of golden sands and 64-acres of nature reserve, just a 45 minute drive from Kota Kinabalu, Shangri-La Rasa Ria offers an idyllic escape that balances the adventure, activity, and pure relaxation offered by its picturesque setting. You can be as active or otherwise as you wish – spend your days lazing by the pools with a good book or explore the nature on your doorstep with an expert ranger, skip across the water on a jet ski, enjoy the tranquillity on a paddleboard or practise your swing at the Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club.The 494 rooms and suites are split across two wings – the Ocean Wing and Garden Wing.Elegantly pared-back rooms offer a warm welcome, with hints of Sabah heritage in the handicrafts and art that add character. While both wings offer postcard-perfect surroundings and wonderfully comfortable rooms, guests in the Ocean Wing enjoy a selection of privileges, including exclusive access to the Ocean Wing’s private pool. Six restaurants and four bars offer a tantalising array of cuisines, from Malay street food classics to fresh-as-can-be grilled seafood and teppanyaki.
