Your Destination —
Sabah, located on the island of Borneo in the eastern part of Malaysia, is a fascinating destination for travellers who enjoy a close experience with nature. The island's many natural attractions are complemented by a fascinating local culture that has preserved centuries-old ways of living into the present day.
Attractions include:
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park
Located adjacent to the resort, across the South China Sea, the marine park is a cluster of five islands or ‘pulau’ in native Malay. The five islands are Pulau Gaya, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik and Pulau Sulug and are characterised by shallow waters, bountiful corals and splendid white sandy beaches.
Kinabalu National Park
Making your way to Kinabalu National Park, (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding biological attributes) you are thrust into a jungle paradise of natural wonders, rugged landscapes and scenic beauty. From the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world, to the famous Orangutans in their natural habitat, it only gets more breathtaking every step of the way. On your way there, be awed by a majestic sight from Pekan Nabalu, a great vantage point for a view of Kinabalu’s peak peeking out above the clouds. With the entry point to the park already above 1800m above sea level, the air feels cool, clean, and absolutely fresh.
City Centre
The city of Kota Kinabalu itself is small, bustling and welcoming. A cab ride into town costs around US$15. Consider taking some time away from the resort to pay a visit to the food market, open every night with stalls selling fried snacks, noodles and seafood , also a firm favourite with locals. Those with a sweet tooth are in for a treat as the deep-fried banana is particularly moorish and the local peanut butter centred sponge exceptional.

The CHI Spa offers a unique spa design concept - a stand-alone 'spa village' sits on an 'island' connected to the hotel via a private causeway. Each of the eight spa villas has its own herbal steam room, spacious relaxation area and private changing room.
A private yoga pavilion with a deck extending out over the South China Sea offers spectacular sunset views. The traditionally influenced treatments are plant-based and reflect the multi-cultural heritage of the region.
In traditional Chinese philosophy, ch’i or “Qi” is the universal life force that governs well-being and personal vitality. For good health to be maintained, it is believed that ch’i must flow freely within the body and, when blocked, disease and illness follow. Movement is therefore a key element in releasing blockages.
Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist the body's natural renewal. These healing principles form the basis of the CHI spa philosophy.
The Health Club is fitted with the latest gym equipment in addition to dedicated areas for cardio, weights, Pilates and personal training, complemented with a juice bar, sauna and male and female orientated zones.
There are also a huge range of scheduled daily activities from cooking demonstrations to Tai Chi to Aqua Aerobics and Bird Watching.
