| An ecological paradise... |
|
Just minutes away from the bustling city, Gayana offers a secluded island escape, designed and operated with nature in mind. Gayana features 22 semi-detached overwater chalets built on timber stilts constructed out of sustainable local woods with thatched roofs.
Guests can enjoy the best of both worlds of the pristine rainforest in their backyard and the crystal clear sea teeming with marine treasures at their doorstep. Guests staying at the hotel can indulge in some of the freshest seafood found in Sabah, catch the rays on sandy beaches and be entranced by the rainforest surrounding the resort, all just 20 minutes from the shores of Kota Kinabalu.
Guests will find an ecological paradise nestled away in a beautiful bay on the far side of Gaya Island. The beach hotel itself includes a reception hall, a bar, a shop and a restaurant. |
| LOCATION |
|
Gayana Island Resort is located just off Western shores of the 3rd largest island in the world; Borneo. The Northern most region is called Sabah, known affectionately as the "Land Below The Wind," as the tip of Sabah lies just below the typhoon belt. The capital of Sabah is the vibrant, coastal city of Kota Kinabalu.
The five islands just off her shores make up the national marine park of Tunku Abdul Rahman and are home to numerous species including the Hornbill Toucan, Monitor Lizard, Macaque Monkey and countless underwater delights. Gayana is nestled into the tropical wildness of the largest of the five islands, Pulau Gaya.
It is only here that one is caressed by gentle, lapping waters of the South China Sea and senses are awakened by the sounds and mystery of the primordial jungle. |
