Resort Location:
Malohom Bay, Gaya Island, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.

Gayana Island EcoResort in Pulau Gaya, near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is the brainchild of Datuk Joseph Ambrose Lee, a well-known businessman in Malaysia who also owns a fast food chain, Sugar Bun in Borneo.

The desire to rehabilitate marine life, his main wish to see people love the nature and his overwhelming dream to see tourists coming in are temptations that he could not resist for so long. He developed Pulau Gaya into a resort area for people to come and rest, for scuba divers to swim and see with their own eyes the beauty of coral reefs as well for marine researchers to initiate research on marine life.

Pulau Gaya has a resort hotel as well as plenty of activities for the visitors, not only from foreign countries like Brunei, Middle East and Europe but more importantly the island has now become a favorite get-away for the people of Sabah too.

The hotel, Gayana Island EcoResort is actually nested into the lush tropical wildness of the National Park of Tunku Abdul Rahman. The island is famous for its ancient, dense Dipterocarp forest and it offers a rare glimpse into a primordial jungle. Caressed by the gently, lapping of the South China Sea, visitors will come to an understanding of the fragility of perfection.

Pulau Gaya is just a leisurely 30 minutes ferry ride from the vibrant, modern and hectic city of Kota Kinabalu and the island presents an overture of majestic rainforest as well as the watery glory of the South China Sea. It has a horde of activities for the visitors to linger away their time such as multi-day kayaking, hiking, scuba diving trips, snorkeling in the turquoise sea or even splashing in the natural water pool.

In the evening visitors can request for environmental lectures by the resort's marine biologist or forest ecologist. Your evening can be a colorful and authentic cultural dances from the multi-variety people of Sabah including the Brunei Malays. Or you can just sit back and relax, have a tropical drink and ponder the setting sun reconstructing the forest into a kaleidoscope of shadows and colors.
