Shangri La Rasa Ria

Whilst this is a much larger resort than we would usually feature, it’s a great choice for a family trip to Borneo and great value.  And there’s so much to do to keep both adults and children happy and entertained.

There’s an 18-hole championship golf course, a fabulous range of treatments on offer in the spa, and a 64 acre Nature Reserve and Nature Interpretation Centre which comes complete with Orang Utans and is the only one of its kind in the region.  There is even an exhilarating treetop canopy walk for yet another unforgettable experience.  On the beach, there’s Hobie cat sailing, kayaking and horse riding too.  For the more adventurous, we can arrange some amazing hiking, such as the challenging climb up Mount Kinabalu.

End the day with dinner at any of the resort’s restaurants, most notably the elegant Coast for its western contemporary cuisine.  Alternatively, there’s Naan, an award-winning restaurant famous for its delicious North Indian cuisine, or the newly opened Kozan, Teppan-yaki.  For something intimate, enjoy dinner under the stars, listening to the waves gently lapping up the pristine beach, at one of the resort’s exclusive outdoor gazebos.

Children
This is a great family resort – it is comfortable, has plenty of activities to suit all ages and has a safe and easy environment in which children can discover the amazing highlights of the rare flora and fauna of this region. Kids will love the orang-utan sanctuary, the treetop canopy walk and exploring the nature reserve. Rasa Ria has a great children’s pool, babysitting and complimentary kids club (for 4 -12 yr olds) with activities including cooking, face painting, kite making and learning how to be a ranger for the day. Children’s meals are also available.
