Idyllic Gayana Island Resort is an ecological paradise nestled away in a beautiful bay on the far side of Gaya Island, off the shores of Kota Kinabalu. Crystal clear waters and secluded beaches wrap around the inlet, with lush tropical rainforest and mangrove forming a serene backdrop.

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.

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.

Hightlights:
Swimming Pool: The so-called swimming pool is my favourite. It’s actually the sea itself. It’s a natural swimming pool in the sea. You’ll get the opportunity to swim with the friendly fish inside the pool without going out to the open sea for snorkelling. Wonderful isn’t it??

Accommodation: Gayana features 22 semi-detached overwater chalets built on timber stilts constructed out of sustainable local woods with thatched roofs. All 44 rooms are tastefully furnished and absolutely relaxing with spacious private balconies, and equipped with modern conveniences for your comfort. An elevated wooden boardwalk winds its way past the chalets, lined with flowering bougainvillea and tropical plants.
