This tropical retreat dazzles with its glorious beachfront location – just a short boat ride from the remarkable islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. Accommodation is plentiful with 492 stylish guestrooms and suites surrounded by acres of landscaped gardens. Each is lavishly furnished and designed in a way that reflects traditional Bornean design as well as the natural surroundings. Whichever room you choose you’ll get to wake to the sounds of crashing waves and step out onto your private balcony to drink in a stunning scene of coral islands and the South China Sea.

Another reason to include Tanjung Aru Resort in your tailor-made holiday to Borneo is its proximity to Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. Within 10 minutes you could be exploring these wondrous islands and diving in their clear, marine-rich waters. Kinabalu National Park also awaits with its dense jungle, oversized flowers and endemic wildlife. Otherwise you could enjoy yoga sessions, spend time by the pool or renew your senses at the resort’s signature spa, CHI.
