It is dawn, and you are seated in a tower as the majestic sun rises over Mount Kinabalu in the distance. This is the best breakfast you have ever had.
Dalit Beach, enveloped by the tranquil Nature Reserve. This is Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort & Spa, Kota Kinabalu on Dalit Beach. Set amidst a nature reserve, the resort enchants endlessly with its natural magic.
Your Malaysian-themed room is perched on a verdant hill, with a spectacular beachfront view, surrounded by 400 acres of tropical forest. You see the catamarans along the beach, and can only imagine what other activities await.
The resort is home to an eco-friendly championship golf course and a magnificent The Spa at Dalit Bay. Unique to the resort is the Discovery Centre, gateway to Rasa Ria Reserve. Here, you can meet Borneo’s wildlife.
Even kids have their own fun club. And the more adventurous ones get to help the rangers look after the animals under the resort’s care.
Twilight happens all too soon. But with sunset cocktails and dinner in a beach-side gazebo served by your own private butler, it is worthwhile.
Once you’ve experienced the splendour, nothing else matters. Welcome to paradise.
